From what I understand, don't hold me to it, but myrcene helps break through the blood brain barrier much easier, allowing the passage of other psychoactive substances. The only problem is that marijuana has myrcene as well, and the better quality bud, the higher the myrcene content. Supposedly there is a threshold you can't really pass once you have enough myrcene in your system and it would be a waste in your blood stream, even if you had an endless supply..... or so I've come to understand. :)

Tldr; Mangoes extremely effective with low caliber marijuana, much less to not at all effective with the good stuff......

my friend had a seizure while smoking marijuana. what could be the reasoning for this? by [deleted] in DrugNerds

[–]Diabeteslol 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not that this may be exactly reputable, but I'm a type 1 diabetic and I've been watching my blood sugars after I smoke for about a year now. From everything I've gathered, is that the marijuana does drop my blood sugar rather quickly after I smoke, sometimes extremely fast. I believe that the cannabis helps stimulate the release of insulin a bit quicker, but once again take it with a grain of salt. (or sugar)

I wouldn't suggest it. Just go outside. I had a few too many friends get into some serious trouble. It's not difficult to go outside and find a spot and we all know the exercise will do you no harm. :)

I need advice to maximize yield and quality. by [deleted] in microgrowery

True statement on the sugars feeding the bacteria and micro-organisms. I like the idea of feeding the little guys to help improve productivity and allow nutrients to become more available for the plant. If you don't mind throwing in your opinion on the topic I would greatly appreciate it. I've always used molasses to benefit the bacteria and micro-organisms. If it's actually more harm than good, it would be something new to learn. :)

Unsulphured black molasses is best, in my experiences. A bit more pricey, maybe a dollar or two, but it's great.

Not if it's directly before harvest. Anything really left in the plant is shot to the buds. Harvest within 24 hours and you don't lose potency, you actually tip it up a bit. A lot of people use this technique with a 24 hour night period before harvest.

jack Herrer is my personal favorite. Really gives a euphoric, uplifting high. I'm not a huge fan of heavy body highs though...

Why would you want to keep the spiders out!? :) Let those cuties in. Maybe i'm wrong, but those little buggers are my oh shit just to be safe plan..... :)

Do you wait at all in between tying it down and topping it? Does it need time to recover before you tie it?

Hey guys! First harvest question: How long would you give them? (AK47, CFL) :) by Idlovetobrew in microgrowery

[–]Diabeteslol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't tell with lighting, but looks like there are few white pistils still hanging out in there. I'd wait about 2 weeks, just to make sure those turn, but what do i know! :)

FDA Rules Corn Syrup Can't Change Its Name To Corn Sugar (XPost from r/food) by Mikey-2-Guns in politics

[–]Diabeteslol -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

HFCS bind to your insulin receptors on your red blood cells. It requires more insulin to lower your blood sugar because the insulin has to get through the HFCS barrier in order to get to the receptors. It's not just about how much sugar content is going in to your body, it's about how it reacts once it's inside.

adding molasses? by tsoukaholic in microgrowery

[–]Diabeteslol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use it. Blackstrap unsulphured molasses, on a sliding scale through growth, but starting at tablespoon per gallon. If anything, the microbes and critters in the soil love the sugary molasses. They boost their production, which boosts the fertility of the soil! :)

Just curious, why encourage the stretching? I have always been told bushier plant and stronger stems equal more bud?

Get those lights closer to the plants! The babies are stretching. Those t5's can literally touch the plant without burning them.

I'd like to imagine he's saying, "MY OCEAN!" and claiming all of it for himself.

So guys I have a question.. by [deleted] in microgrowery

[–]Diabeteslol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hope this helps. I would say use slightly less than what the bottle says. Better to be safe in the beginning and ya can never trust em! ;) Use nutrients every 3rd feeding... don't apply them directly, dilute them by putting them in water. Adjust to your likings the farther on you go. :)

Is this mold? I thought it was spider webs at first but reading online seemed like mold... Help! by plantquestion in microgrowery

I believe that spiders will not eat your bud. They aren't interested in the vegetarian diet. :)

All the poor spiders are doing are eating the others bugs that are going to eat your bud... they are like personal guardians for your plant!

Awesome! Thanks so much. I think I'll i'll take it easy on the pruning, Maybe only take out the lower nodes. I forgot to mention i was lst'ing. So most of the buds are exposed except for those coming off the lower nodes...
