Hi guyz...I'm new to this site and also new to autos. Until a few months ago, I just assumed that this was still your Fathers' autos...ya know: 1/8 of an ounce of weak, larfy ''buds''. But I'm truly blown away by what I've seen and read after months of researching this site! You guyz are truly a blessing from God as is the work done by folks like Mephisto. O.K, I'm done kissin'
ass...J/K...sincerely, though , ya'll are the greatest!
First off, a little background. I'm a 46 year old quadriplegic, injured at the c5/c6 vertebrae from a diving accident in '88. I've
used cannabis for muscle spasms and to help with sleep pretty much the entire time...so I know what awesome medicine it is. I LITERALLY CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT!! The ''pharma-toxins'' stopped workin' years ago, and if I try to go without herb, the spasms become so severe that if I'm not strapped-in, they'll throw me outta my chair...I've never actually fell, but I've come
close. I've recently found out that at sometime within the past year that I spazzed so bad that I fractured my left hip! So, now
one of my legs is 3'' longer than the other!! Nice, huh? Like I said...they get completely outta control...we're talkin' ''grand mal
seizure" severe, and absolutely NOTHIN' has any effect at except cannabis. I had emergency gall bladder surgery last month, and the entire time I was hospitalized I had nothin' to stopped them so I spazzed non-stop, which caused excruciating pain not only from spasms but also from surgical pain made much worse because my back arched and snatched in and out like a crawfish the whole time. I had no relief until I got home and toked some shwag....it's weak,
sorry mexi-brick with no buzz, but it at least relaxes me some for about 1 hr. unless I move or bump around and then they hit again. Plus I usually have to smoke like 2-3 spliffs at a time for any relief at all. And what with only having the use of 40% of my lungs, that ain't cool. No one grows anything. No one sells anything but nasty bricked regs that don't even give
ya a head-change....but like I say it's all there is. And it's 125 an O. I smoke around ~2 O's a week, on average. It depends on how bad I'm doin, or how crappy the herb is. I'm on a fixed income and I have to do without things to be able to have
even that. My Mom and Dad are 68 and 70 yrs. old, respectively, and retired on fixed income. So it's a huge burden on the whole fam. Because of constant severe pain and spasms I can't sleep for up to 48 hrs.+ at a time because of insomnia + the other things. All I can do is wait until I'm so exhausted that I pass out for at MOST ~2hrs. Then the spasms wake me up....wake n shake instead of wake n bake, lokl! Seriously, tho , my Mom and Dad must take shifts all nite everynite . Both have serious health issues as well, and stay exhausted also. I have to smoke every 1-1/30 hrs. because of spasms. I also have constant cold sweats day and nite. And I just found out that I have osteoarthritis so the fun just never ends, lol. Because of all of this I also weigh only around 70 lbs. I just have no appetite from hurting and spazzing constantly. I've been practically a shut-in for the last 2 yrs. because I can't even roll across a room and not spazz outta control. All I do is sit in my bedroom , watch t.v. and use the net. I had to give up painting, because I can't lean toward the canvas 'cause my back arches and stiffens up and the pains prevents me from concentrating anyway......I stay constantly depressed.....It's just no kind of life....ya know? So, when I say this is life or death, I ain't just yankin' yer franklin. I need desperate help(or is that ''I desperately need help? lol... toldja I'm shot out) with feedback from folks here who suffer from the same things....whether s.c.i. or other...about which mephisto strains work best for these symptoms. I thought about the custom mix. I need the heaviest producers that do well o.d. with great pest/mold protection because here right now it's 110 f with humidity....it won't be coolin' down until mid sept., at least. I need them to be heat tolerant and resilient to f-ups. I also need one of the strains to be as fast as possible with amber and indi dom for nite time knockout. I say this becuzz I need potent meds ASAP. I can wait for the other longer finishing ones to be ready, but I need at least one like this. Then I need at least a few strains for day/painting....need a lot of body with enuff head to be inspirational ,but absolutely no 'noids/raciness and the others heavy indi/indi-dom.I also need all strains to have a long lasting buzz/effects. Yeah I know....he don't want much ,huh? Anywayz, sorry about writin a book, here.I just really need some help, and it seems like this is the place.....good vibes/good peeps! Anyway, thanx in advance for the help, 'MEDS.
 
Ldd now that's a funny name lol.. nice to meet u. :pass: You need to research the automated, hands off types of growing because the traditional methods will require u to lift and bend and might cause more pain. A drip system for sure since it will eliminate the need to lift watering cans.

Best option for u imo, is a balanced organic soil "just add water" type... eliminate the need to mix nutrients. The drip pump would be essential for u too and can work for any type of setup u chose.. all it does is water for u, and hooked to a timer u can schedule the feedings.

Far as strains, I'll let someone else recommend. Or u can message the mephisto team they are nice pepole with in depth knowledge of all types of weed..
Good luck.:cheers:

Hi LLD :)

Welcome to the forums brother.

As already stated Mephisto are a great bunch of guys and their strains rock and they have some pretty strong meds.

Your in good hands with Blue sending you some advice, so will I will leave you in her capable hands.

Just wondering, is it your parents who will be growing your weed or is this something you can do for yourself?

We have a great vibe here and it is a great place to make friends and be part of the fammunity, come and join us in live stoner chat, there's always something interesting going on here.

LLD,

that was the intro of all intro's. I feel like I know you already. Way to go chum. Have you got any pictures of your art you could upload. I would love to see some. There are so many talented people on AFN. Don't be shy.
Keep in touch pal, eP.
 
Welcome ..Im sure we can get you set up with a good plan to manage your meds and even cut it down..There are so many ways old and newish that can make life a bit better...Welcome to the AFN Army!
 
:toke:Hi guyz...thanx for all the really great responses. The vibe here is much friendlier helpful than icmag. Oh, and sorry about the book I wrote lol...probably had grey hair by the time ya'll were through readin'. :cuss: Ennywhooo.....in answer as to who'll be helpin' , it's my 70-yr-old dad and mom. So I need things as uber-kiss as I can. This will be a small personal med grow of about 4 plants, 2 of a good non-racy/'noidy daytime strain and 2 of an absolute knockout night time strain. I'd prefer a really happy, creative perma-grin, long-lasting high great for appetite, pain, spasms, and depression/stress...the type that also gives you that comfortable pressure behind the eyes...hard to explain, but ya'll probably know what I'm talkin about. As for the night time, heavy heavy indy hashplant types for help against insomnia/ptsd/spasms/pain. Pref. as low odor as possible, as stealth is necessary. If possible, I need one heavy, potent, knock down indy auto strain that finishes the fastest with decent yields so I'll have medicine while waiting for the others to finish up. I have plenty of vert/horiz room and I'll be using cfl for now until I can afford an led. Been lookin at mephisto, auto seeds, and short stuff genetics. Also been looking at humbolt seed org. and emerald triangle....anybody got any info/grow reports on their bubba cheese, ogk., and bubba kush? Thanx in advance...LDD.:thanks:
 
Welcome to the site my friend. As a newbie here myself and a newbie to growing I spent a lot of time researching and of all the sites and forums I have come across this is hands down the best. Great bunch of open minded people with 0 arrogance. The encouragement and knowledge available here is the reason I will continue to contribute.

Looking forward to seeing your grow, I'm sure you'll be on track in no time :thumbsup:
