WHO WANTS TO BELIEVE IN MAGIC! Potassium 40 is a radioisotope that can be found in trace amounts in natural potassium, and is at the origin of more than half of the human body activity: undergoing between 4 and 5,000 decays every second for an 80kg man. Along with uranium and thorium, potassium contributes to the natural radioactivity of rocks and hence to the Earth's heat. This isotope makes up ten thousandths of the potassium found naturally. In terms of atomic weight, it is located between two more stable and far more abundant isotopes (potassium 39 and potassium 41) that make up 93.25% and 6.73% of the Earth's total potassium supply respectively. With a half-life of 1,251 billion years, potassium 40 existed in the remnants of dead stars whose agglomeration has led to the Solar System with its planets. Potassium 40 has the unusual property of decaying into two different nuclei: in 89% of cases, beta-negative decay will lead to calcium 40, while 11% of the time argon 40 will be formed by electron capture followed by gamma emission at an energy of 1.46 MeV. This 1.46 MeV gamma ray is important, as it allows us to identify when potassium 40 decays. The beta electrons leading to calcium, however, are not accompanied by gamma rays, have no characteristic energies, and rarely make it out of the rocks or bodies that contain potassium 40. Beta-minus decay indicates a nucleus with too many neutrons, and electron capture a nucleus with too many protons. How can potassium 40 simultaneously have too many of both? The answer reveals one of the peculiarities of nuclear forces. Everyone has roughly 140g of potassium = 0.016 grams of Potassium 40 = 5.643ounces The charge radius is a fundamental property of the atomic nucleus. Although it globally scales with the nuclear mass as A1/3, the nuclear charge radius also exhibits appreciable isotopic variations that are the result of complex interactions between protons and neutrons. Indeed, charge radii reflect various nuclear structure phenomena such as halo structures6, shape staggering7, shape coexistence8, pairing correlations9,10, neutron skins11, and the occurrence of nuclear magic numbers5,12,13. The term ‘magic number’ refers to the number of protons or neutrons corresponding to completely filled shells. In charge radii, a shell closure is observed as a sudden increase in the charge radius of the isotope just beyond magic shell closure, as seen, for example, at the well-known magic numbers N = 28, 50, 82, and 126 (refs. 5,12–14). In the nuclear mass region near potassium, the isotopes with proton number Z ≈ 20 and neutron number N = 32 are proposed to be magic on the basis of an observed sudden decrease in their binding energy beyond N = 32 (refs. 2,3) and the high excitation energy of the first excited state in 52Ca (ref. 1). Therefore, the experimentally observed a strong increase in the charge radii of calcium4 and potassium5 isotopes between N = 28 and N = 32, and in particular the large radius of 51K and 52Ca (both having 32 neutrons), have attracted substantial attention

Time we recognize is itself a man made unit of measure used to detail how quick something decays .The scientific definition of time is the progression of events from the past to the future, and a measurement of change in a physical quantity. The half-life, t1/2, is the time taken for the activity of a given amount of a radioactive substance to decay to half of its initial value. Apply more or less radiation will change when it's rdy. So no its not seed sellers incentivised to anything, just a best guess based on averages. Genetics loads the gun, environment pulls the trigger. If you place a seedling next to a source of Thorium 232 it will cycle through its entire life cycle in a matter of seconds right in front of your eyes. Iight, heat are radiation, all radiation accelerates atomic decay whichever way you wanna swing it. This is why one may want to crank everything down once full trichome production cranks up. Plants run on cycles, how much radiation is applied during each cycle determines how much gets done during said cycle. If I can get done in 50 cycles what someone else needed 70 cycles, that's dependant on how much radiation I chewed up. Over simplified but you get the idea.

Is just a guideline to give you an idea of what to expect but every lady is special andd will mature in her own time. Looking good all in all keep her going till shes ready good luck

There's actually things that can happen during a grow that can stop the clock on Autos. I experienced this in my Auto Tent #1 Diary, my early flower issue stopped the clock and resulted in my Blackberry Autos going much longer then advertised.

I think part of the discrepancy lies with how many track their grows. Most begin tracking flower as soon as they switch to 12/12 on photoperiods or as soon as preflowers show up in autos. I find waiting until your tops actually transition over, generally about two weeks later, leads to much more accurate breeder estimates. They can still be a little on the early side but not by as much.

Breeders generally say there strains finish early then they actually do by a good few weeks, 10 weeks can be more like 13 weeks. Occasionally one will finish on there time scale. Just harvest when you think it's ready, that's what I do.

In my cars book it says it takes 12 liter/100km in the city but under 20 l/100km ive never seen my consuption...

Really just depends on the plant. Most if the time autos vary in size. I think alot of times breeders will say a satin takes 10 weeks or so but I think there counting fron the time the plant makes it 1st set of full leaves till harvest When most the hairs have changed make sure most of your teicombs are milky white and you will be good to
