For the last 5 years I’ve been telling myself my BP was fine and only high at the Dr due to white coat, last month I got a proper cuff and decided to prove it to myself. I was wrong, after a week of taking it every morning after 10 minute sit my average was 155/90. The amount of cope it would’ve taken me to justify those numbers was outside of my ability so I decided to do something. I started taking my Losartan, drinking at least a gallon of water a day, eating the same just eating a lot less of it, and doing what I hate more than anything… cardio. 5-8 miles a day after work. Took longer than I expected it to, and I still feel anxious every time that cuff squeezes my arm but I’m finally in those beautiful green lines.

I did want to thank everyone on this sub it’s been so helpful seeing everyone’s experiences and input it gave me the motivation to finally take my BP serious and do something about it, thank you all! It’s a journey, you don’t eat the elephant in one sitting.

This run was Blueberry Banaffy Crumble (Blueberry Cupcake x Banaffy Taffy 46) from Mainely in 1 gallon fabric pots with pure coco running VBX/Shine and some other inputs.

Popped 4 not really looking for anything in particular but found 3 were heavy banana taffy and pink bubblegum candy with the one that leaned blueberry cupcake. The blueberry pheno was a bit muted in flower and the buds were on the smaller side while the banana ones stacked heavy needing support. 1 pheno threw some bananas early in flower on some lowers but otherwise no problems. Feeding was kept moderate could definitely have pushed them harder.

After a mostly done cycle in the cannatrol I took this one bud of the blueberry pheno to sample, considering how muted the terps were in flower the aroma has really exploded, it fills the room and is true to name blueberry muffin terps while the flavor translates very nicely already.

Overall I’m more than happy with how everything went I’m not usually hunting for candy but that Banaffy really stands out and demands a deeper dive so I’ll be running a larger hunt of some more crosses soon.

 First smoke of the most recent harvest. This is pheno 1 I rolled 1.5g into an element paper with a glass tip. Dried in a cannatrol for 12 days before going into grove bags.

Smell in the grinder is bursting sweet blackberry jam and allspice, the backend is woody peppery incense. The taste translates fully on the front inhale with that sweet jammy flavor dominating but towards the end it’s allspice. The exhale is woody incense, sharp pepper, and some sweetness remains. Second half of the joint flips to woody incense with some sweetness on the inhale while the exhale tastes similar to burnt cookies. The effects are a physical and mental weighted blanket.

Day 56 getting ready to harvest within the next week. First run stepping away from canna nutrients switched to VBX and Shine and am loving the results so far.

Early flower with the new 4x4, couldn’t get the full canopy filled but I’m content. This is an unknown frog poison cross.
