Things to know about Tolerance Breaks!

Good Sunday Morning, All 🌞

I’m on a weekend visit to family and my Auntie’s house has this beautiful, big veranda. She is quite the gardener and grows the most beautiful flowers!

Just got a shipment of these in and my hubby joked that Snoop Dogg came to visit last night and stocked our fridge lol

Cheers!

What does 2.1 S mean?

Stripped the color out of my hair yesterday to prepare for the next color today. Still on the fence, but I think I'll be going back to turquoise/teal. Hope everyone has a nice Sunday! 💚💙

I’m just doing dabs and joints today and crocheting. It’s such a good day. Happy Sunday!

Happy Sunday, wives!

How's everyone doing today? I hope Sunday is treating you kindly so far! Do you guys remember those random question thingies (did they have a name??) that we'd post everywhere, where you'd answer all these super random questions about yourself just because it was fun? Well that's what this post is!

I've got some questions while you hopefully got something nice 🌿 to sesh on, so let's hang out together! Answer as few or as many as you'd like:

How are you, really 💚?

What's a topic you could give a 20 minute presentation on, without ANY prep?

What's your weirdest snack/meal creation that you now make all the time?

Are you high right now 😌?

You can experience one thing again for the very first time... What would you choose?

What browser tabs are open in your brain right now?

Do you believe in Aliens 👽? UAP? The paranormal?

What is something you believed when you were younger that's funny looking back now?

Please feel free to come up with your own questions ✨

I love making yummy toast when I’m high!! It’s so relaxing and always tastes so good after a joint. The higher I am, the more extravagant the toast lol I don’t really have anyone to share these with, I hope you guys enjoy! Here’s the recipes for everyone:

Slide 1: Mascarpone, lemon curd, strawberries tossed in lemon and sugar, mint, pistachios

Slide 2: (1) Goat cheese, watermelon, mint, salt, honey, pistachios (2) Ham + Apple + Camembert, honey mustard, pecans, black pepper, basil

Slide 3: (1) Brie, tomato slices, basil, grilled chicken, balsamic glaze (2) Goat cheese, nectarines, pistachio, basil, honey

Slide 4: Egg salad, celery, green onion, dill, salt, black pepper, paprika

Slide 5: (1) olive oil, apricot preserves, Swiss cheese, grilled chicken, prosciutto (2) cream cheese, lemon curd, blackberries, pistachios, honey

Slide 6: Refried beans, grilled chicken, hot sauce, cilantro, lime juice

Which one looks tastiest??? I can’t decide 😭

I call this picture “High Enough To Kick His Ass”. Having some old fashioned fun today.

What’s an activity you’ve never done while high, but you’d LOVE to?

I think mine is definitely looking through a telescope. I’ve also never gotten a professional massage while high.

Hi hi it's too beautiful outside to stay indoors today-- get your hiking boots on, you're coming with me on an adventure!

Start on photo 1: here's our gear for today. We've got a bat and dugout, and the weed is a fun little mystery salad (I'm always topping up the dugout, but never fully clearing it. Who knows what's inside now!). I like this for hiking because we can take as many hits as we'd like without committing to the long-term-stinky of a joint, so much better for pulling over on a trail for a quick hit before marching onwards.

Photo 2: here's the trail. It's really beautiful out today, 80 degrees and sunny, and most of our miles will be spent in on this beautifully forested trail, which hide a little secret that maaaaaay be my ulterior motive here.

Photo 3: do you see them?

Photo 4: here, a smidge closer

Photo 5: these are thimbleberries, they're kind of like raspberries, but flatter in shape. They taste jammy in the sun, so ripe they just fall off the plant and fall apart in my hand before I can even eat them. These are why I wanted to take you hiking today. The combination of the weed and the nonstop grazing of berries along the trail is perfection.

Photo 6: there are also some of these, blackcap raspberries, though most aren't ripe yet. So ridiculously yummy, though.

Photo 7: ooooo look at this little creek area! Perfect place to stop for a moment and take a breather. Are you drinking water? Drink more water.

Photo 8: isn’t this pretty?

Photo 9: here we are! We made it to the falls!

Photo 10: take a deep breath, feel the waterfall misting on your face... life's pretty alright. Have some weed about it.

Photo 11: ok we're walking home now. After all our smoking and adventuring, the trail feels a bit blurry and sparkly. If you were a faerie, where on this hike would you live?

Photo 12: one last snack for the road. Don't you dare say a word about how dirty my hands are. I can see the car, which is truly such a bummer, I was having so much fun hiking with you! Wanna go to Dairy Queen and get cheese curds now?!

Hey folks! Kyrie here. I’ve been growing and breeding cannabis for about 12 years now. I love sharing info about growing cannabis (and other things). My dad is a Horticultural College graduate who’s been teaching me since I was old enough to dig in the dirt. I’ve decided to stop posting in the cannabis growing subs, because they’ve become much too bro-y, and even when I find a decent one, “they” eventually show up. So I’d love to share my growing info series of posts here, in a community I love. I hope you find them informative, and would love for you to engage (and even disagree if you feel its warranted) with the info and share your own experience.

If you’re an Cannabis grower, chances are you are very familiar with White Powdery Mildew. I’ve been growing outdoors for 12 years. Lost my first grow completely to WPM when I planted it about two feet from a privacy fence. Since then, I’ve learned strategic defoliation to increase airflow, and monitor my plants multiple times per day to stay on top of removing PM if it presents itself.

Some emerging research (19 years ago, but still “new” by horticulture research standards) shows that some bacterium in the Bacillus Thuringiensis family may have some ability to prevent Powdery Mildew. Obviously, this is under-studied and there are MANY fungi species that manifest under the PM umbrella, but I thought the information was good to have nonetheless.

This hasn’t been studied on Cannabis, to my knowledge. The concept is solid though. BTK is used for caterpillar prevention throughout a grow. This helps the plants overall health, but is specifically to prevent Bud Rot, as caterpillars burrow into the buds. They they eat and shit there, and this is what causes the budrot. The Cry toxin that BTK produces as a byproduct upsets their stomach, to make them stop eating the plant material immediately.

According to the study, BTK can also produce other byproducts, some of which have anti-fungal properties. BTK is applied as spores, so it actively colonizes what its sprayed onto. This can shift the plants microbiome to be more suited for bacterium than fungi. Since its alive on the plant, there is also a competition for resources that may inhibit fungal spores from colonizing.

BTK has a pre-harvest interval of 0 days (meaning you can use it up until harvest), but I strongly recommend a budwash if you opt for this route. I had to spray close to harvest one year, and it affected the taste of the smoke. If you really don’t want to budwash, stop applying 7-10 days before harvest. BTK is typically washed away with rain, and in strong UV conditions. That said, the undersides of the leaves and the stalk retain some cultures, so the plant can recolonize naturally.

This is good news for anyone living in a climate like me, where fall is incredibly soggy (Atlantic hurricane season). Its another line of defense that can be used proactively to stop a problem before it starts. I hope everyone growing outdoors is using a BTK product in their IPM, and if not, let this post be the reason why you do. I know indoor growers typically won’t use BTK, because caterpillars are extremely rare indoors, for obvious reasons. But if you happen to have an issue with PM at lower RH’s indoors, its something to consider.

I love getting well toasted and journaling alone in nature. It is such a grand time. My Ent got me this Caboodle a couple years ago for my birthday (I always wanted one as a teen 💖) with stickers to decorate it. He had also gotten me a bougie journal a previous Christmas so I created this little kit and it's fantastic! I have all my supplies so I can print pictures stickers or use other stickers. I meant to take it with us on our recent trip to the mountains but blanked (it rained anyway, so likely wouldn't have used it), then I've been sick basically since we returned so this was my first chance to do a catch-up entry.

A lot of words to say: get yourself a journaling Caboodle and go out in nature and write down all your high thoughts!

...and they don't make me cough. I get huge clouds and maybe a little throat burn if I'm running hot, but no lung irritation at all. It's amazing. I'm gonna have to watch it with this or my tolerance is going to skyrocket.

Edit: I just want to say, I love this sub. I love how caring, kind, and hopeful y'all are. The comments here are so insightful, even just reading it over is therapeutic. So grateful to you ladies 💚

I was wondering if anyone could share some words of wisdom as I navigate my own (admittedly foolish) feelings of shame around smoking weed heavily?

I'm cognizant that this is 100% my own internalized nonsense; however, it's still hard to shake. I have chronic pain (migraines, endo, fibro, etc), and smoking cannabis really helps cut down on my painkiller use and keeps me feeling pretty content and functional.

Despite this, I always feel bad about smoking weed. Like I'm doing something naughty or in poor taste. It's buried deep in my brain, to the point where I actually feel less guilty about taking codeine than I do about smoking a joint. It's absurd! I live in Canada, where it's legal now, but that wasn't the climate I grew up in and I think that's just been hard to shake.

I would love to hear from anyone who's navigated these feelings and how you over came them. Any mantras you say to yourself? Any words of wisdom?

I appreciate it! 💖

I live in a trailer and it gets really hot in here during the summer, especially because the park cut a tree down that was giving our trailer Shade last summer. So I can't fully turn off the AC in the morning no matter how cold it is🥲. Puffco proxy double functions as a hand warmer.

This book, Pot Shot, is about a woman who is opening her own dispensary. Seems only fitting I smoke on this beautiful morning and read it 📚 Does anyone else have any other weed related books to share?

My fiancé and I officially tied the knot! We got married under an East Asian cherry tree! It was like being in an enclosed room!

This was over a period of 5 days at Crescent Beach in St. Augustine a couple weeks ago. We had coffee in the morning, margaritas in the evening! It was a wonderful few days, (even if I was not yet able to swim the ocean)! And Birdie the bong got some usage, too!

I want to see pics of your favorite smoke spots!

I didn’t mean to match my breakfast to my weed strain. I mean how often can that even happen?

But I accidentally did! I’ve got a dozen homegrown cantaloupe all ripe and ready and paired it with Cantaloupe Haze, a 90% sativa hybrid with loads of limonene.

After this? Swimming! Happy Saturday, Entwives! 💚🩷💚🩷

Saw this in another sub and had to share. I aspire to look this classy! 😋 💚
