Hi, I thought I'd introduce myself.
I turned 60 this year and have been growing and consuming weed on and off since I was 12.
1975 to be exact. I have recently been diagnosed with asd and adhd. Something I was alerted to by my Grandkids diagnosis.
Unfortunately for me I have been considered to be bipolar since I was 19 after a breakdown which involved pot.
With my recent correct diagnoses I'm coming out of a 19 year fog from pharmaceuticals prescribed through the DSM5 criteria.
My psychologist has described the diagnostic tool as a path to a pill. Cannabis+psychosis=bipolar,schizophrenia=mood stabilisers antipsychotics.
Unfortunately I've never had bipolar in my life apparently and I now have diabetes and heart disease as a result of the pharmaceuticals prescribed. Had my first heart attack at 45.
I now believe that I've always been attracted to cannabis due to its healing properties not just the fact that I love getting stoned.
So over the last 5 years I have been growing as many strains as possible to see what the correct fit may be. From NL to Haze range.
There is much research going on into this at the moment but I am following Shanti and his ratios. For me I think 16-20% thc with matching cbd ratio is going to do the trick.
Anyway this year I've had to buy a tent. La nina has forced it here on the Aussie east coast.
Previously I was able to grow giants in organic soil under my bedroom window. Bad weather and new neighbors have changed my situation.
Haven't grown indoors for 20 years so have to learn again. Looking for phenos to mother.
Have black widow, nl5xhaze,shit,la nina and ortega. My original plans were to purchase property and start my selections under a large tunnel greenhouse. Since covid cheap acreage has disappeared Unfortunately and drones have made bush pretty tough.
What I have found is that cannabis helps autistic people to self regulate, stops seizures prevents meltdowns and total shut-downs.
Can't get in Australia for this disorder. Given our backward system here I'm considering the fact I may never get it here legally at my age.
Anyway I've been following Nevile and Shantis work for a long time. My gardening hero's. A geneticist and a biologist.
Thanks Shanti for your vision.
I used to drive to Mullum a lot in the early 80s too.
