Thorium (chemical symbol Th) is a naturally occurring radioactive metal found at trace levels in soil, rocks, water, plants and animals. Thorium is solid under normal conditions. There are natural and man-made forms of thorium, all of which are radioactive. In general, naturally occurring thorium exists as Th-232, Th-230 or Th-228.

1. Dobereinerβs Triads
German chemist Johann Wolfgang Dobereiner attempted to classify elements with similar properties into groups of three elements each. These groups were called βtriadsβ. Dobereiner suggested that in these triads, the atomic mass of the element in the middle would be more or less equal to the mean of the atomic masses of the other two elements in the triad.
An example of such a triad would be one containing lithium, sodium, and potassium. The atomic mass of lithium 6.94 and that of potassium is 39.10. The element in the middle of this triad, sodium, has an atomic mass of 22.99 which is more or less equal to the mean of the atomic masses of lithium and potassium (which is 23.02). 9 controls the 6 and 3.
The Limitations of Dobereinerβs Triads are :
All the elements known at that time couldnβt be classified into triads.
Only four triads were mentioned β (Li,Na,K ), (Ca,Sr,Ba) , (Cl,Br,I) , (S,Se,Te).
2. Newlandβs Octaves
English scientist John Newlands arranged the 56 known elements in increasing order of atomic mass in the year 1866. He observed a trend wherein every eighth element exhibited properties similar to the first. This similarity in the properties of every eighth element can be illustrated as follows.
Classification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties
Newlandβs Law of Octaves states that when the elements are arranged in increasing order of atomic mass, the periodicity in properties of two elements which have an interval of seven elements in between them would be similar.
Azomite has an average of 180ppms of THORIUM...........I'm fucking mindblown
Alot if big things happening this weeeeek plants final form starts to take shape, light defoliation on lower parts of the plants I know make the cut later in life. Going to restrict defoliation to week 2-3. Going more cautious this time round as my excessive defo last grow was tooooooo much and effected yield greatly.
Added steel weights πͺ. Big buds require a solid frame, I'm still trying to find balance for this part, I'd like to have had the reinforcement done earlier. Ever learning.
Can already tell by early flower formations these are going to be madness :
AZOMITE:
Most farmers have not had a proper understanding of what is azomite and how to use it in gardening, especially if you practice organic farming. Continuous propagation and leaching effects of water deplete the essential minerals and micro-nutrients from the soils. Such soils remain weak, not able to support the production of fruits and vegetables. Azomite mineral contains micronutrients that supplement the soil. It also balances the minerals for growth and overall productivity. Constant use of this mineral rejuvenates your soil renewing its potency again. Azomite is a naturally mined mineral product that is ready to use. Itβs a unique rock that comes from a mine in central Utah. Azomite requires no mixing or special preparation before use. It is derived from volcano ash that spewed out millions of years ago. It contains the widest range of minerals of all the rock dust in the world. Azomite provides the plants with 70% essential elements. These elements include magnesium, calcium, potassium, and silicon for plant growth.
Facts About Azomite Fertilizer
Itβs a natural mineral β 100% natural with no fillers or additives
Does not contain any harmful elements
Requires no special preparation before use
Itβs odorless β very friendly to use
Does not restrict water penetration or aeration
Is easily broken down and absorbed into the soil
Does not burn plants
GREENSAND
Espoma Greensand, love Greensand. If you have never used the product (or never heard of it) Greensand is a mineral called glauconite, which is found on the ocean floor and mined for use as an organic fertilizer and soil conditioner. Greensand supplies marine potash, silica, iron oxide, magnesia, lime, phosphoric acid, and 22 trace minerals. Greensand works great on Southern βhard as a rockβ clay soil this spring, to help improve its texture, and enrich the nutrient content of my soil without using chemicals. Greensand is one of the oldest and most generally useful tools in the organic gardening tool box. Greensand has been used since the eighteenth century as a soil amendment and slow-releasing fertilizer (0-0-3). It is one of the best certified organic sources of potassium. It comes from sandy rock or sediment containing a high percentage of the mineral glauconite (greenish-black to blue-green). It contains potash, magnesium, iron, silica and can contain as many as 30 other trace minerals. The recommended usage is to broadcast 50 to 100 lbs. per 1,000 square feet. It improves plant health in general and is also be used to loosen heavy, clay soils. It will also improve the moisture retention of sandy soils. Greensand is OMRI listed for organic use.
Sea Kelp β Ascophyllum Nodosum
Sea kelp, also known as brown algae, is the generic name for the seaweeds that make the order Laminariales. Kelp grows in huge underwater forests in shallow parts of the ocean, with some forests covering over 2230 square miles! Kelp thrives in cold and turbulent ocean water with strong currents that bring enough nutrients for the algae to grow. The coasts of Norway, Japan, Mexico, and California are some of the most abundant in terms of natural kelp density. Sea Kelp BenefitsSea kelp is rich in a wide range of nutrients, minerals, and active compounds. Some of them have great nutritional value, others show antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties, help with diabetes, and may even fight off some types of cancer. In other words, sea kelp is jam-packed with health benefits. Letβs explore some of them in more detail one by one!

That's some bad ass genetics you got there.. luckyyyy!.. and those are some awesome and interesting details. Never knew you could use pure blue light to help clones recover.. 6 - 7 weeks isn't a bit much, tho? Not just 3 or 4 or so?? Just asking.. I'm currently working on my first clone.. got it to root in a cheap little Aero Garden hydroponic kit that I just added an air pump and air stone to.. first time using it and wow root growth is insane in hydroponics.. but my plan is to self pollinate this girl and even cross with a m/f I got as a freebie.. just waiting to see if the m/f is female or not.. fingers crossed.. anyways.. sorry I finger fucked my keyboard in your comment section.. lol anyways.. Enjoy the grow!
@Professor_Chaos, Yes the clones were alot smaller than they should have been, it took alot longer to re-root and stabilize. Blue light was to encourage shorter internode spacing. Led to a combination of being 6 inches tall with 7,8,9 internodes.
Looking like some super root action! Keep up the amazing progress. Good luck stay safe happy growing cheers!!!!! If you have a moment please stop by my YOU DECIDE diary and place a vote
