Life and death are intimate moments. I’ll leave that as it is. 
My husband is 100% disabled with PTSD from being a combat Marine in Nam. One of his counselors gave him a great ‘tool’. Keep an unlit, scented candle on your bed headboard, or somewhere near. When you wake up, put that candle (unlit of course) under your nose and breath…the scent of the candle automatically redirects your thinking. May not work for a long time, but it does give you an escape from your negative thoughts quickly.

Thank you for that tidbit. I do Zen Yoga. I have a “happy place” and as long as I am somewhere I can have a few minutes of serenity, privacy, I go to my place. I have practiced this for 55 years and am pretty good at the mental imagery. The fact that you commented, warms my heart. I too an a Nam era DAV

Thank you for your service. I thought the candle might be helpful for when you wake from your dreams/visions. That’s excellent that you practice yoga, a great way to center yourself 
Humm…he had the option of EMDR therapy but he didn’t choose to do that. That involves rapid eye movement. The scented candle suggestion is really just a suggestion for when you wake up from a bad dream, it helps redirect your thoughts. Counselors are great for giving ‘tools’ on how to deal with some thoughts or feelings. One of the tools I learned is to visualize a huge stop sign and with that stop sign you visualize beating down the thoughts that invade your mind at times.
It’s great to read about the success your friend had with EMDR. I don’t think anyone ever really is ‘cured’ of PTSD, they just learn tools on how to handle it.

@Kris yeah EMDR is basically just an advanced redirection therapy like most of the others. It doesn’t cure but it certainly opens up a path for healing and gives them great tools for recovery to live a functional life.

GG4 is sensitive so I do not handle it much at all. It is a plant and leave it be kinda grow. Watch the lights (not too close) and heat (not too high) and be watchful for Hermies (male sacs on a female plant)
Rh 50-65% for DRYING, cure can be lower. After a couple weeks, bovida paks to keep it near 60% in the jar

Agreed. I need it for the images that like to appear at inopportune times. I do appreciate your feedback on this. It helped propel me forward.

How much different is the potency from an auto to a photo?
@DDDDave modern autos are almost just as potent as photos.
Between an auto and photo of the same strain there’s an average of a 5% difference in potency. Sometimes a little more. Sometimes a little less.
Some like the critical purple auto are just as potent as their photo counterparts.
The biggest difference is the terpenes and yield. Photos still have much better terpene profiles and higher yields.

Is it just me or is this forum getting clunky lately? I read every new post that shows up but have started to find posts that have been going for days that I have missed?
