  2. Hey mate to be honest I’m too tired and stoned atm to remember what I’ve done in the cultivation forums but I think I was closing parts of like dairies to promote the Glogs (Grow logs) over them 😉
  3. That really is awful mate and unfortunately life just is I guess. Someone might drink like a fish, smoke like a chimney and live happily till their 90’s or more and another might be fit and healthy look after themselves and still get the short straw. Hope you can beat it or at least live comfortably enough 😢 🤲
  4. Hey mate bit of a late reply but they’re both good for the job, but read the label because I’m pretty sure the eco oil says something about being for ornamentals only

  12. Historical Context: Australia's Shifting Perspective on Cannabis From societal reservations to medical intrigue, Australia's perspective on cannabis has evolved, influenced both by global narratives and domestic priorities. Cannabis has had a tumultuous history across the globe, and Australia has been no exception. In earlier decades, perceptions around cannabis were largely negative, heavily influenced by international anti-drug campaigns, and societal concerns. However, as the global conversation around cannabis began to shift in the late 20th century, so did Australia's. With the worldwide acceptance of cannabis for its therapeutic potential and the wave of decriminalisation and legalisation in various countries, Australia found itself re-evaluating its stance. The Australian government, researchers, and healthcare professionals started looking into the possible benefits of cannabis, not just relying on international findings but also instigating local studies and discussions. This blend of global influence and domestic research laid the foundation for the more accepting and regulated view of cannabis that Australia holds today. The Science of Healing: Medical Benefits of Cannabis Down Under With insights derived from global collaborations and Australia's unique research initiatives, the therapeutic potential of cannabis begins to shine through. While international studies offer foundational knowledge, Australia has cultivated its own research initiatives to delve deeper into the therapeutic nuances of cannabis. Over the years, Australian universities, medical institutions, and research bodies have embarked on extensive studies, trials, and investigations. These endeavours aim to understand the various compounds in cannabis, like CBD and THC, and how they interact with the human body. The studies also sought to identify any distinct therapeutic applications especially pertinent to the Australian populace, such as specific strains best suited to Australia's environment or unique formulations addressing prevalent health issues in the country. These domestic scientific explorations, combined with global findings, have helped paint a comprehensive picture of cannabis's therapeutic potential. They've provided compelling evidence to support its use in treating a myriad of conditions, from chronic pain to epilepsy, and have been crucial in breaking down the barriers of scepticism and hesitation around the plant. Navigating Australia's Medical Cannabis Landscape: Regulatory Milestones and Emerging Trends In the evolving world of medicinal cannabis, Australia is taking leaps with stringent regulations, tailored patient access schemes, and the burgeoning role of pharmacists. Led by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) under the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989, the country places a significant emphasis on medicines included in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) due to their thorough assessment of safety, quality, and effectiveness. However, understanding Australia's cannabis domain goes beyond just regulatory frameworks. Special mechanisms, like the Special Access Scheme (SAS) and Authorised Prescriber (AP) pathway, have been established for 'unapproved' therapeutic goods like medicinal cannabis. These schemes, while ensuring that registered health practitioners have considered ARTG-listed treatments, also embed a level of trust. Notably, the TGA doesn't provide guarantees for these unapproved products' safety or efficacy, placing the onus on prescribers and patients. Recent data from the Lambert Initiative for Cannabinoid Therapeutics at The University of Sydney sheds light on contemporary prescribing practices, especially within the psychiatric realm. Between 1st November 2016 and 30th September 2022, findings included: A significant 300,000 SAS-B approvals, with 33.9% focusing on psychiatric conditions. The dominance of prescriptions for anxiety disorders, followed by sleep-wake and trauma-related disorders. The prevalent use of oil-based products, with CBD-dominant products emerging as a key choice, especially for autism spectrum disorder treatments. Yet, a cautionary note arises from these findings. The growth in prescriptions for conditions like ADHD and depression appears exploratory due to limited clinical evidence of medicinal cannabis efficacy. Furthermore, the increased prescription of THC products poses concerns, given the known psychiatric issues linked to THC, highlighting a need for robust clinical guidelines. The TGA, in its bid for transparency, publishes data concerning SAS approvals, and AP notifications, offering a lens into the nuances of medicinal cannabis access in Australia. Moreover, to simplify administrative processes, the TGA introduced the SAS/AP Online System, creating a unified application point for medicinal cannabis products across federal and state territories. Pharmacy's Emerging Role in the Cannabis Realm: Recent regulatory shifts have placed Australian pharmacists at the forefront of dispensing prescription-only cannabis-based medicines. Moreover, these changes have paved the way for specific low-dose cannabidiol products to be available over-the-counter in pharmacies, aligning Australia with several other nations where such products are more accessible. In a cross-sectional study conducted between May and December 2021, the experience, knowledge, and attitudes of Australian pharmacists towards medicinal cannabis were explored. A few key findings include: Experience: A significant 60% of the pharmacists had dispensed at least one medicinal cannabis prescription during their careers. Moreover, a similar percentage had received at least one medicinal cannabis-related query in the past two weeks. Comfort & Confidence: Approximately 54% felt comfortable supplying medicinal cannabis products, but fewer (around 39%) felt confident discussing related queries. Support for Over-The-Counter Availability: Over half of the participants supported the idea of supplying low-dose cannabidiol products over-the-counter in pharmacies. Knowledge Gaps: Despite the support and some experience in the field, two-thirds of the respondents scored below 60% in the knowledge segment of the survey. This finding underscores the evident need for enhanced training, with an overwhelming 94.2% acknowledging this requirement. Conclusions from this study suggest that while Australian pharmacists are generally in favour of medicinal cannabis availability and easier access to low-dose cannabidiol products, there's a clear need for bolstered training and education around cannabis-based medicines. Such initiatives could ultimately boost pharmacists' confidence and competency, potentially enhancing patient outcomes.

  14. PGRs vs. PGRs - It’s Not All Bad Diving into Australia's cannabis cultivation, "Plant Growth Regulators" (PGRs) have stirred debates for decades. While PGRs, both synthetic and natural, influence plant growth patterns, their impact varies. Synthetic PGRs, with the allure of boosted yields, have sparked health and quality concerns, while nature’s own PGRs maintain the plant's essence and medicinal integrity. The Australian cannabis scene has evolved over time, from a surge of PGR usage in the early 2000s, often compromising quality, to a more recent decline driven by informed consumer choices. Navigating this terrain requires an understanding of the nuances, as the world of PGRs isn't strictly black and white. In the diverse realm of cannabis cultivation, the term "PGR" frequently emerges, often eliciting a mix of concern and intrigue. Plant Growth Regulators, or PGRs, are compounds designed to influence the growth trajectory and development dynamics of plants. But as with many things in life, there's a spectrum, and not all PGRs are the same. Let's embark on a journey to distinguish the nuances between synthetic and natural PGRs and discern why understanding the differences is paramount for the modern cannabis enthusiast. Chemical (Synthetic) PGRs These are artificial chemicals painstakingly developed to tweak and manipulate the innate growth patterns of plants. Among the popular ones that have found their way into cannabis cultivation are Paclobutrazol (PBZ), Daminozide, and Chlormequat chloride. Their allure often lies in their ability to enhance yield and modify the visual aesthetics of plants. However, beneath the surface, there are noteworthy implications: Health Concerns: PBZ has raised eyebrows due to its potential toxicity when ingested, inhaled, or even merely handled. Daminozide made headlines in the '80s for the shadows it cast regarding carcinogenic properties. Chlormequat chloride, though on the lower end of the toxicity spectrum, isn't without its share of concerns, particularly about its residual presence. Quality of Bud: Delving deeper, synthetic PGRs have a sneaky way of compromising the intrinsic medicinal calibre of cannabis. By interfering with its natural growth, they can dilute its cannabinoid and terpene profiles, essential for therapeutic efficacy. Natural PGRs Nature, in its infinite wisdom, has its proprietary toolkit of growth regulators. These naturally spawned compounds are the unsung heroes ensuring the rhythmic dance of plant life cycles. Types: The roster includes stalwarts like Auxins, pivotal for root formation and bud magnification; Cytokinins, the champions of cell division; Gibberellins, the maestros of stem elongation and floral choreography; Ethylene, the subtle influencer of fruit ripening; and Abscisic Acid, the guardian angel during droughts. Health & Quality: Venturing the natural PGR route is akin to embracing the plant's innate essence. There are no lurking health shadows, and the integrity of the plant's medicinal profile remains unblemished. Spotting PGR-Treated Buds Within the Australian cannabis culture and horticultural scene, we've witnessed significant evolutions over the past 30 years. One constant, though, has been the discourse around the use of synthetic PGRs in cannabis cultivation. The digital age has amplified these conversations, with numerous images and discussions circulating online, often positioning a PGR bud right next to a “non-PGR” bud. However, based on our extensive experience down under, it's crucial to emphasise that the reality isn't that black and white. Appearance: While PGR buds, when treated with higher concentrations, are typically rounded, rock-hard, and often light brown, their appearance can vary based on the PGR concentration used. Aroma: High concentration PGR buds, when broken or "mulled up," give off little to no scent. Trichomes: A glaring absence indicates inhibited resin production. Flavour: Expect anything from bland to downright putrid. Health Concerns: Be wary of headaches and chest issues post-consumption. Value: From our vantage, high concentration PGR-treated buds offer little to no medical or recreational value. However, when PGRs are applied at extremely diluted rates, their impact becomes a murkier territory. Such buds often retain a quality that's almost indistinguishable from non-PGR treated ones. A subtle sign might be a slight twist in the leaves' growth, but even this can be elusive. And crucially, at these diluted rates, it's arguable that the PGRs might not even be present in the plant at the time of harvest, further complicating the identification process. The PGR Surge of the Early 2000s Turn the clock back to the early 2000s, and the Australian cannabis scene was abuzz with discussions on PGRs. Forums like OZ Stoners became hotbeds of debate, with topic after topic diving into the prolific use of these growth regulators. Initially, the allure of PGRs lay in their ability to force plants into immediate flowering and halt any further growth—a godsend for many keen on rapid cultivation cycles. However, what began as a strategic tool in the grower's arsenal soon spiralled out of control. The 2000s saw an alarming trend of abuse and overuse. Some commercial growers, in their pursuit of maximising yield and quick turnovers, began using a cocktail of various PGR products. It wasn't uncommon to hear of these products being administered like weekly additives, and often at levels far beyond recommended doses. This era marked a significant shift in cultivation practices, with consequences still reverberating in today's cannabis culture. The Decline of PGRs in Recent Times Fast forward to the last few years, and there's a silver lining. We've borne witness to a significant decrease in the usage and, more importantly, the abuse of PGRs in cannabis cultivation. Like many trends in the market, the popularity of PGR-infused bud was largely consumer-driven. If there's a demand, there will always be a supply. Regrettably, an entire generation came of age with predominantly PGR-laden cannabis as their primary access point. For many, the awakening came with the realisation of what they'd been consuming, leading them to shun such products. Yet, intriguingly, there remains a subset who claim a preference for PGR-treated buds. While it might be tempting to write this off as mere nostalgia or habit, it's plausible that these individuals gravitate towards milder strains rather than the heavy-hitters celebrated by many enthusiasts. Understanding this shift is crucial. As the cannabis market evolves, reflecting on past trends and their ramifications helps guide more informed choices in the present and future.
