Looking to try a new vendor, and they have a great product code on the hemp sheet. Does anyone have any experience or advice on them? Thanks
Update: ended up going with WNC’s Strawberry Cake. I know I’ll get quality smoke from them, and I’ve tried the strain before and it was great. A little pricier, but well worth it. Thanks for the input!
So this might seem silly, but I am struggling to hear apical pulses. I'll find it hear it for 15 seconds and then lose it. Ive been trying to practice, I have better luck on thin/fit males but when I try on my mom, dad, SIL I find it for 15 and then gone.
Do any of you have any tips? tricks? How do you block out the breath sounds? I'm meeting with my lecture prof to see if just someone different explaining it will make it click.
