Paramahansa Yogananda taught us how to heal anxiety and depression with these three powerful affirmations from his book back in 1924: "I relax and cast aside all mental burdens, allowing god to express through me his perfect love, peace, and wisdom." "I will, with my own will, which flows from the divine will, be calm and patient under all circumstances." "I am submerged in eternal light; it permeates every particle of my being. I am living in that light, the divine spirit fills me within and without." All light stems out from darkness. Darkness can only exist in the absence of light. Where there is light, there are shadows. Shadows require light to exist. A shadow is a reduction of light, not a total absence. "Shadow"—the hidden, unconscious, or repressed aspects of the self—must be acknowledged and integrated into the conscious mind ("the light") to achieve psychological wholeness and prevent destructive outbursts. Rather than erasing the darkness, the goal is to reveal it and bring it into the light, thereby preventing it from consuming the personality. Very few make it through awakening without becoming a monster themselves. Every individual harbors a repressed, uncivilized, or dark side—regardless of how moral or virtuous they believe themselves to be. The belief that this darkness is absent in oneself is a form of dangerous ignorance that leads to "shadow projection," where one denies their own flaws and projects them onto others. "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate," highlighting that confronting this inner darkness is essential for psychological maturity and avoiding personal demise. All things exist as energy. We are vessels that utilize chemical energy and experience it through emotions. We are biological machines fueled by ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Emotions, e-motion, energy in motion, where you apply your thoughts, words, and action, is where you apply your energy, where focus goes, energy flows. Everything that was ever invented was first observed. The critical role of observation in the innovation process, where natural phenomena, patterns, or accidents provide the foundational idea for a new creation. Many foundational technologies were derived from direct observation of nature or physical processes. Wave-particle duality is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics, stating that all entities—including light (waves) and matter (particles)—exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties depending on the experimental setup The Heisenberg observer effect describes how the act of measuring or observing a quantum system inevitably disturbs it, altering its state. The observer effect is often misconstrued to mean that human "consciousness" affects reality; however, in physics, it refers to the physical interaction of measurement tools (detectors) with the system. It is often confused with the, but distinct from, the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle applied to electromagnetism dictates that the electric (E) and magnetic (H) fields cannot be simultaneously measured with absolute precision, with an uncertainty relation of for a spatial volume. This fundamental limit means electromagnetic waves possess intrinsic quantum, non-classical, and fluctuating natures. The K radiation and quantum mystery of potassium refers to the fascinating, naturally occurring radioactivity of Potassium-40 (K) and the, until recently, poorly understood, rare quantum decay mechanisms that make it a significant, quiet, and sometimes mysterious participant in both biological and geological processes. 1. The Radiation: Potassium-K40 While potassium is essential for life, a tiny fraction of all natural potassium (0.017%) of all pottasium is the radioactive isotope K40. With a half-life of 1.25 billion years, it is a "primordial" radionuclide (present since the Earth's formation). Because potassium is abundant in the human body (muscles), we are all walking sources of weak radiation, often measured by "banana equivalent dose." K is unique because it decays via three distinct routes, creating a "triple" radioactive mystery: Beta Decay (89.6%): Decays into Calcium-40 (Ca), releasing a fast electron (beta particle). Electron Capture (EC) (10.3%): Decays into Argon-40, emitting a high-energy 1.46 MeV Gamma Ray. Positron Emission (0.001%): Decays into Argon-40 (Ar), emitting a positron (antimatter). 2. The "Quantum Mysteries" The mystery of potassium isn't just that it is radioactive; it's how it decays and what that implies for the universe. A. The Missing Decay Pathway (KDK Experiment). Until very recently, one specific path—electron capture directly to the ground state of Argon-40—had never been directly measured, making it an "unknown background" in dark matter searches. The KDK Collaboration (Potassium Decay): Experiments at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (2017-2023) finally measured this, helping scientists refine the age of the Earth and improving precision for detector simulations in particle physics. B. The "Spin-Forbidden" Long Life K has a surprisingly long half-life (billion years) for a positron emitter. The quantum reason is that the decay requires a massive change in nuclear spin (from 4 down to 0), a "spin-forbidden" transition that makes the decay highly unlikely, thus slowing it down. C. The "Mysterious" Heat Source For decades. Scientists debated whether K was a major radioactive heat source inside the Earth's core. New high-pressure/high-temperature experiments suggest it can dissolve in iron, making it a significant, long-term heat producer in the core of Earth (and Mars), affecting planetary magnetism. D. Quantum Biology/Biology Mystery. Because K is a major source of internal potassium radiation, there is emerging research regarding its impact on DNA damage, metabolic regulation, and the "bio-photons" emitted by living systems. E. Ultracold Potassium and Quantum Gases.In laboratories, researchers use potassium (K39, K40, K41) to create "degenerate quantum gases" to study exotic states of matter, such as superfluids, which are used to simulate quantum behavior in solids. In short, the potassium 40 isotope is a tiny, ancient, quantum-mechanical time (nuclear)bomb, slowly releasing energy from the birth of the solar system, making it essential for geological dating, a nuisance for dark-matter hunters, and a subtle factor in our own biology.

Week 13: Week 5 Flower—A Garden in Full Bloom 🌸✨ Hey, Grow Fam! 💚 We’re deep into Week 13, and this room is nothing short of mesmerizing. Each plant is unique, showcasing its trichome-coated beauty, with white hairs dancing in their distinct patterns. It’s the culmination of patience, hard work, and overcoming challenges. The two-layered canopy—thanks to some ambitious young ones—is a testament to adaptability and dedication. 🌱🌟 Feeding Update: Aptus Holland Breakout Powder This week, we introduced Aptus Holland Breakout Powder into the feeding mix at 0.5g/L, alongside the nutrients already in use. This powerhouse additive is designed to promote robust flower development, enhancing both density and resin production. Breakout Powder brings that extra “oomph” to the table, helping the girls truly break out into their full flowering potential. 🌺💪 Combined with our existing recipe, the results are already starting to show. Buds are swelling, trichomes are shimmering, and the room smells heavenly. If you’ve ever wondered what a well-rounded feeding schedule can do, this week’s results are the answer! TrolMaster Magic: Monitoring & Stability I’ve included a few TrolMaster app prints to share my love for this system. It’s not just about controlling the environment; it’s about mastering it. The app provides real-time data, historical records, and an unmatched level of convenience. Whether I’m sipping coffee or working in the garden, the system keeps me in sync with my grow. This week, I’m particularly thrilled about how stable the pH levels have become since transitioning to full mineral-based nutrients.

12/22/2021 Starting the over night soak in H2O2 water, then onto soil mix to finish germination. Soaking in H2O2 and water, about an ounce h2o2 mixed with .500ml spring water. It aids in breaking down seed shell, and sanitize seeds at the same time. I will sow directly into soil as breeder suggest. 12/25/2021 All I5 seeds sprouted in water little 1-2 mm tap roots, potted into small cups and reppot as necessary, should get 100% germ rate if I don't hurt them tiny tap roots putting them in soil. 12/28/2021 Lemon OG 100% germ rate, Biscotti Skunk 4 of 5, Grape Skunk 4of5,and I will take the blame if others don't take because of miss handling, so very happy with the germination rate I'll give it 100% Thanks @QCS for given me the opportunity to grow your genetics.🙏🏻 Ps. ROJI OGS will go next round I'd like to do them alone I think she will be special. Biscotti Skunk Biscotti Skunk Cannabis Seeds Feminized With a noteworthy lineage, Biscotti Skunk is a mix between the Cookies variant and Kush on one end, acting as the base layer for flavors and effects, while the Skunk addition rounds it off beautifully on the other end, creating Biscotti Skunk a totally unique marijuana strain. This strain works good indoors or outdoors it produces nice big buds. The flowering period for her is 8 to 9 weeks Outdoors this plants will be ready to harvest at the beginning of October, and offer yields of around 700g per plant in ideal conditions. The effects you can expect from Biscotti Skunk strain are relaxation with a good creativity boost, followed by a gradual energizing body feel. A bud with a very complex flavor profile, this indica-leaning hybrid Skunk come from planting 50 Skunk F2 seeds and one of the fenotip came out looking like this. We liked the strain so much that we have finally duplicate the strain. Grape Skunk is one of those tangy, tropical smokes. Her flowers give off the unmistakable scent of tropical citrus, with some accents of grape. THC levels is between 20% and 24%. Grape Skunk is a large producer under optimum conditions. A dense cannabis plant with pink purple colors. Growing Grape Skunk cannabis is easy and great for first time grower. This strain is also great for relieving stress and anxiety, as well as reducing chronic pain, nausea, and insomnia. Lemon Og Kush Cannabis Seeds Feminized This strain joins the OG Kush genetics, with strong Indica and physical effect, cross with a Skunk plant which has a very distinctive and special lemony flavor. The result of this crossing between these two robust genetics a plant with similar structure than the OG, average internodal distance, columnar structure that can branch a little more if the plant has enough space and substrate. Still, it mantains the average height of the OG Kush , producing lots of flowers in relation to its average size. Production can reach 550g/m2 in about 8-9 weeks , which will allow us to harvest our plants before the rainy season arrives, without worrying about molds: it is a mold resistant marijuana strain. Regarding the flavor, it huge amount of resin and terpenes will release a strong fuel and lemon smell, which is noticeable even when we smoke, reaching every corner of our palate. Moreover, its effect is very medicinal , ideal to eliminate nausea and stimulate appetite, deeply relaxing both body and mind.

But feminized information was all they had on website,assuming it's all the same.

Second run with this soil so hopefully its even better than b4. Charged the 3 lbs. biochar with dr earth flower power, mother earth flower girl, one shot, coconut and aloe water for a month. Added a bag of ocean forest and a bag or organic promix to the reuse dirt from my pots with cover crop...added 4 pounds insect frass, 4 pounds marine cuisine, 2 lbs bokashi (plus weekly juice ffrom bucket for teas). 12 lbs One Shot, 2 lbs azomite, and 6lbs lime. Cooked for 6 weeks. Cover crop and mulch to top it off. Used OregonismXl sprinkled on roots and in hole at transplant Will brew teas of reharge, aloe and coconut water powder, insect frass, homemade l.a.b.s, oregonismXL, and worm castings. 100 gal res and blumats for irrigation. Im still workin on organic/dry ammendment style growing so any tips would b appreciated Strains are :wedding cake (3), memberberry (2) The D (3), gelato (1), gorilla blue (1), blackberry moonrock (1) ( hopefully), purple punch (1), a leftover do si do (1) and girl scout cookie (1) (thin mint). My fav 5 will go outside and in the greenhouse.

Eccoci qua alla prima settimana di fioritura! Non vedevo l ora!! Allora sembra che la pianta si stia riprendendo dalla carenza che le aveva provacato il fogliame più giallo e scolorito, ora invece tutte le foglie delle cime nuove sono di un bel verde brillante, intenso ma non troppo scuro, quindi significa che ha raggiunto un buon equilibrio di assorbimento di tutti i nutrienti, ora non rimane che seguire la scheda di terra Aquatica, e magari aggiungere un poco di calcio e magnesio nel caso si scolorisce ancora in fioiritura, ma secondo me grazie a questi nutrienti speciali, famosi in tutto il mondo, che hanno i gridi enti segreto industriale, sono sicuro e mi aspetto di coltivare l erba di qualità migliore della mia vita! Mi sento davvero orgoglioso del livello che ho raggiunto di capacità di conoscenza di questa pianta fantastica! Ma ho capito che sono solo all inizio della "vera" comprensione di come utilizzare al meglio i nutrienti, per far esplodere di vigore le mie ragazze! Grazie davvero a tutti voi che mi seguite! È merito anche vostro se mi sono evoluto fino al coltivatore che sono ora! Non mi sento affatto un gran maestro, anzi ho ancora milioni di nozioni da imparare su questa pianta di saggezza millenaria! Grazie come sempre a Mars hydro che mi ha dato gli strumenti necessari per far eccellere le mie abilità nel coltivare sviluppare produrre la migliore erba del pianeta a casa mia! 💪😸👊🌱🌿🌲🌴🥦🧑‍🌾🍀

I am extremely impressed: Zamnesia and Plagron !!!! Auto Runtz showed no negative emotions throughout the growth :) Plagron nutrients gave her what she wanted ;) In general, this whole trip was something unreal, (with such a result I have a little hope of winning a prize from the ongoing competition :D :D ) Her aroma is full of tropical fruits!!!! (I can't wait to taste her :D:D) So from my travel suitcase, I got 225 gr of wet harvest weight, I am really happy about that :) (probably 50-60gr of dry flowers), by the way, I will also publish the dry flower weight, as soon as she is ready for it :) I did a lot of photoshoots, but unfortunately my lighting was not good, so I didn't get to take better photos ... Thank you to the sponsors @Zamnesia @Plagron for the opportunity, you are amazing!!! good luck to everyone!!!! And now I can think about a new Suitcase Lady :).

Fattening up and fading yellow and purple. Believe she'll be a fast finisher and will probably go ahead and start the flush process.
