I was talking to a patient today and was told that they truly felt thankful to have cannabis in their life. They said their family had noticed a tremendous difference in their overall well being and general mood since incorporating cannabis into their medical regiment. They had reduced their opioid intake by 50% to date and that may continue to decrease as we continue working together to find the right strains that work for this specific patients physiology.
The last strain I had dispensed was a nice dense trichome covered Blueberry strain harvested at about 5-10% amber trichome coverage. This coverage of amber trichomes provides a more cerebral head high. If I had let the amber trichome percentage increase to 50-60% at harvest it would have produced a more couch lock, body high. Which we do at times as well.
The patient really enjoyed the Blueberry and we're now testing a couple other sativa/early harvested strains to lock in the ones that suit them best for their day-time usage.
It is truly wonderful to hear from patients the benefits they receive from cannabis.

We'll just finished harvesting the newly named #4 rack, all but the NL#5 looked nice and ready in the Jakks eyeclops scope :) We harvested 2 Jack the Rippers, 3 blueberries and 2 mental floss. For the cultivation system we use, one of the JTR's got as big as a soil grown one would have, just amazing.
Trimmed/pulled all the large fan leaves off and hung them to dry whole. We have such low humidity here in SW MT that I normally have to have my humidifier on high to keep my relative humidity between 46-55% but with winter I don't have to run it as often so there is no chance of drying to fast with these ladies.
Tomorrow I'll check the NL#5 again with the scope and see what the trichomes look like then.
We'll post some pictures tomorrow as well.
Until then - :)
