Progress with first time LED...

I’m liking the switch to LED, although I’ve blended it with a little backlighting from CF. Growing 3 strains this time...Tangerine Dream...Critical Purple...AK-47...all are autoflowers. In Michigan we can now legally grow 12 plants per person...that’s a whole lotta Cannabis. This is an interesting grow for me this time...it’s the first time that I’ve staggered the planting. Tangerine Dream is in ripening stage one more week to go before flushing. (Whoa...when we used to have flushing and pot in the same breath...it was never good.)

Now I can use the groups help...I’m 67 and just got diagnosed with osteoarthritis...which I’m my mind is good news...it’s not bone cancer or something else as bad.
Well as you can imagine I have quite a bit of fan, shade leaves that get removed during training.
I’ve thought about topicals but really didn’t have a need...or so I thought.
Hip and knees killing me...I was eating about 8 Tylenol daily along with IcyHot to get through the day...believe it this pain came on quite suddenly after this winter...probably because of all the snowshoeing...well anyway... I took about 4 oz. of the dried leaves and ground them up into a powder, infused 2oz into about 3 cups of coconut oil.
I know that didn’t make the best stuff...but 4 days now...only the magic green oil...but now I have to get serious. I’m going to dedicate one plant for making therapeutic oil but I want to get an infusion machine...anybody use one?

Magical Butter looks good or there’s the Infuzium420 which is a little less costly and seems to have more accessories. I’ve seen the Levo infuser I don’t think that one would work for my usage needs.

Please can anyone help?

I used LED for a couple of crops and they turned out great even though I did everything wrong.

A little older than you and have been using CBD Tincture for my aches and pains with very good results. Took about a month to really kick in. Major joint pain is still there, but little aches are relived.
I use Michigan made CBD Mary's and Detroit Fudge Co. products from the MMM shop. 4 drops under my tongue twice a day.
For the major pains, shoulder and neck I use TED's pain cream and it works great. Must put it on a couple times a day,every day. Try Amazon $19.00 a tube and it last a long time. The secret to TEDs is resveratrol as found in red wine.

Good luck and thanks for sharing.

“Everything wrong”...I’ve been growing for about 8 years...started with bag seed after a while you really begin to know why we call it weed, it’s very forgiving. Learned tons with that hands on.
Tried my own homemade nutrients...changed lighting, in a big closet, now the last 3 years the tent.
I don’t think I’ll ever stop smoking cannabis, but cut down smoking a little using edibles. I don’t have a MMM card, toying with the idea of getting one only because of dosing.
