I gave Isopropyl alcohol 70% equal parts water, 1 tsp cayenne, and kept enough for multiday application, what little population of aphids is left I shall catch them the next morning, opening the tent 10 min before lights on the clovers have yet to open, all the aphids hiding on the undersides are easily visible, still none ever went near cannabis plant. Clovers are far tastier it seems. The alcohol kills on contact, the idea was to saturate the leaves with a light foliar application, and once I was done I ran it through the canopy with my hands, making sure as much of the clover surface came in contact with the iso, once done, I turned on the fans and evaporated it quickly. The beautiful thing about Isopropyl is that it evaporates rapidly at room temperature, way below boiling point leaving behind zero residual so nothing seeps its way into root zones unless you spill it there. It is a magical solvent that leaves no trace that it was ever there. Resonant Frequency: A resonant frequency is the natural vibrating frequency of an object and is denoted as ‘f’ with a subscript zero (f0). When an object is in equilibrium with acting forces and can keep vibrating for a long time under perfect conditions, this phenomenon is resonance. In our daily life example of a resonant frequency is a pendulum. If we pull back the pendulum and leave, it will swing out and return at its resonant frequency. Objects combine to form a system, this system can have more than one resonance frequency. The resonant frequency is termed as the resonance frequency. The phenomena of resonant frequency used in the series circuit when the inductive reactance (XL) is equal to the capacitive reactance (XC). If the value of supply frequency is changed, we can observe that the value inductive reactance (XL) and capacitive reactance (XC) is also changed. Inductive reactance (XL) and capacitive reactance (XC) are inversely proportional to each other. When we increase the frequency, the value of XL increases, whereas the value of XC decreases. When we decrease the frequency, the value of XL decreases whereas the value of XC increases. At series resonance, when XL = XC. The mathematical equation of resonant frequency is: XL = 2πfL; XC = 1/2πfC XL = XC 2π f0L = 1/ 2πf0C ; f0=1/2π sqrt{LC} Where f0 is the resonant frequency, L is the inductance, C is the capacitance How to Calculate the Resonant Frequency of an Object? An object exposed to its resonant frequency can vibrate in symphony with the sound. The wavefronts pushing on the object will arrive at just the right time to push the object with greater and greater amplitude in each cycle. To get a clear idea of this concept one of the best examples is pushing a friend on a swing. If you push the swing randomly, the swing will not move very well but if you push the swing at a specific time, the swing will get higher and higher. Another example to find the resonant frequencies is to place the object next to a speaker and place a microphone attached to an oscilloscope next to the object. Then play the sound in the speaker at a given volume, and then without changing the volume slowly change the frequency. Now observe the oscilloscope, you will observe that at certain frequencies the amplitude of the wave, is proportional to the volume of the sound that the microphone is able to pick up. The frequency that is caught by the microphone will be greater than at surrounding frequencies. These are the resonant frequencies and are detectable as the sound energy absorbed by the object is re-emitted more efficiently at these frequencies. The precise moment that constructive interference happens the amplitude of the wave will spike at the precise frequency emitted. Q: Compute the resonant frequency of a circuit whose inductance is 25mH and capacitance is 5mu F? A: Known values are, L = 25mH = 25 x 10-3 H C = 5mu F = 5 x 10-6 F Formula for resonant frequency is, f0= 1/2π sqrt{LC}1/2π√L f0=1/2 ͯ 3.14√ (25 ͯ 10-3 ͯ 5 ͯ 10-6) = 450.384Hz Why Neodymium? Ferromagnetism is an exciting phenomenon observed in certain materials, known as ferromagnetic materials, that can retain their magnetization even after removing an external magnetic field. Ferromagnetic materials can become ferromagnets and interact strongly with other magnets and magnetic fields. A characteristic of ferromagnetic materials is their magnetization ability, distinguishing them from paramagnetic and diamagnetic materials, where weak magnetism exists temporarily. This unique property allows for making permanent magnets widely used in various applications such as motors, generators, speakers, and data storage devices. The ability to generate and maintain a magnetic field without the need for a constant external source of power makes ferromagnets highly valuable. An alloy of neodymium, iron, and boron discovered in the 1980s is ferromagnetic, yielding permanent magnets over 1000 times stronger than anything ever seen before. The name neodymium comes from the Greek neos didumous, which means "new twin." Neodymium magnets are made of an alloy of neodymium, boron, and iron. This allows them to simultaneously store impressive amounts of magnetic energy while being highly resistant to demagnetization. Because iron oxidizes quickly, neodymium magnets are coated to prevent rust from accumulating. The attraction between two neodymium magnets is so strong that if placed close enough together, they can collide and shatter. Neodymium magnets have an unusually high-temperature resistance, and they can even withstand heat exceeding 200 degrees Celsius. N50UH 1-1/2"OD x 1.065"ID x 3/8"

My new grow pros solutions under canopy lights are really making the colors pop Black Cherry Gushers is a strain that's sure to turn heads. The buds are round and dense, like little nuggets of pure fire. And the trichome coverage? Absolutely insane! This plant is a frosty wonderland, begging to be admired. It's a testament to the grower's skill and the plant's incredible genetics.

I received the clones from An out of province breeder. It reached me after three days of driving on the road with no light. Their future was not certain. I didn’t think I would need that many fans for the clones because they are so tiny, I figured they didn’t need that much maintenance. I was 100% wrong when I’m working with this many plants. I ended up getting mild mildew on top of the soil on the first week because there was barely any air circulation. At this point I didn’t have any Ventilation put up yet. And one fan on the floor. I ended up installing three fans in one room. No issues

End of week four and plants still look great to my eye. Stretch is finished and now the plant is really going to focus on flower development so the next few weeks should show a lot of growth of the flowers. The smell is starting to really become noticeable. It’s hard for me to pinpoint but it almost smells like sprite but extra lemon limey. I’m thinking around 5-6 more weeks until she’s ready to chop. We shall see.

Week 5 : Colorado Cookies in Biotabs These have completely blown up, doubling in size, ripped up the metal hooks i had them in like it was nothing, they're liking the extra light, pushing out leaves and loads of flowering colas . i did take off one leaf that was throwing shade, but apart from that only LST every now and then to keep it under control and hopefully get a bigger yield. Mixed my beneficials with my micro, that's 14gs of powder for 900ppm , but i'm not worried because this is not "dangerous ppm" only some micro. They're starting to slurp it up : one extra watering a week that 3x 3 pints ! used some co2 enriched water only twice, i didnt dare put it in with the beneficials even though i know co2 as a soluble gas will not penetrate the cell walls of any of the organisms (that means it's safe!). I'll get some full frontal pics of the ladies next week, so get your lube out ! spraying twice with the micro and the kelp this week, not really following up on the co2 sprays because i eyeballed the first spray and now there's actually a bunch of residue all over the leaves, so gonna try and figure that out ! suggestions welcome ! 🚀

I mean, overall this was an extremely painless grow. The test of whether we should or shouldn't top autos is still TBD imo. Our topped candidate produced denser, frostier buds, but weighed slightly less, at 14 grams of bud total. And our lst plant produced 18 grams of bud, not as frosty, and almost as dense as our topped girl. I'll be topping autoflowers from here on out only under the circumstance I have 4+ to grow at the same time. Seems like it could be used to speed up the autoflower grow cycle if done properly, like with right. Since I'm doing a perpetual cycle, it's still a viable option for me in the long run. A few tips I have for anyone growing this strain in organics: Start feeding bloom nutes a little bit prior to flower transition - this makes the transition more seemless. From weeks 1-3 flower, I slowly dropped the grow dosage until I cut off grow nutes week 3 flower. Starting the flush around week 6 flower seemed to really bring out this plant's potential. But I think you could get away with starting the flush around week 5. I hope this helps anyone trying this strain out. It's a good one, I hope to see more journals of it, eventually. Cheers everyone! Time for me to take a well-deserved puff. :) ☁️ 🌼

He hecho varias podas para controlar el crecimiento de las plantas. Sirve también para hacer las ramas un poco más fuertes, porque es una variedad que tiene tendencia a crecer alta, fina, con ramas débiles.

Bueno pues lo dicho familia, es una cepa dulzona y acaramelada, con un porcentaje medio de 16% thc , me parece bastante potente está indica en verdad es un cebollazo épico, si te pasas sentirás hormigueo en las extremidades asegurado. Sencillisima de cultivar, muy rápida de verdad tamaño entre 45/60cms no es muy grande pero las flores son muy compactas. Espero que os guste este último trabajo, os dejo muchas fotos y algunos vídeos finales , un saludo y buenos humos.

2020-02-18 (Day 81) - I spoke too soon. This girl is stretching WAYYYY more than any other girl in the tent, I have to raise 1 light daily it seems. All in all even with the asymmetry this is the most beautiful plant I've grown. As stated in my other journals my heater crapped out and I am not buying another one so she'll have to deal with the cold night time temps. Hopefully the stretching slows down and she can start putting all her energy towards bud development. This is the thirstiest of all the other plants in the tent drinking roughly 1 gal every other day. Stay tuned to see this girl develop!

After topping last week,we flipped to flower! I've been training the girl down with LST wire. Want as level as I can until I reach the edge of the light. But I've been increasing the light intensity slowly this run. Normally I just blast them but went slow over the week. Getting water more often now and will install the self watering pots today. Lights at 100% power. Here are the lights details: Medic Grow Mini Sun-2 150W LED Model: MN150-022 Spectrum mode: V1 Efficacy: 2.8 umol/J Thanks for stopping by! You can find the light on Grow Diaries: https://growdiaries.com/grow-lights/medic-grow/mini-sun-2-150-watts You can find the light on Medic Grow's website: https://medicgrow.com/

Humidity and temps lowered, fan speed increased and will get fed friday..Friday Feed is what I call it..otherwise I kept forgetting which days I added nutes and started confusing myself LOL.. My runtz is looking beautiful..my little mini tree, everyday I see more pistils and I’m hoping this will be my best yield yet!

I went on business trip for 5 days. Neighbor watered the plants. Must dehumidify better as I had 85% max. at 24°C. NYC Sour D #1: Has developed quite well. Many small branches. A few stunted leaves. But she is growing ok. #2: Still one of the problem child. Small growth, some slightly deformed and discolored leaves. Wait and see how it develops. Royal Cookies Auto #1: Best development in the last 5 days. Many small new branches. Largest plant, no signs of light stress. Let's see if I will water more yet. #2: I am also very satisfied with the development. Slightly smaller than #1, but completely ok. Royal Haze Auto #1: Also a problem child. The main stem has not developed any new leaves. Thus, I topped her, so that the secondary stems would develop accordingly. The leaves don't look too good. I'll let her grow and decide before flowering whether to remove her. #2: Actually quite good so far. Growing a bit stunted, but so far okay. Light settings 45% dimmer at 45 cm distance Between 450 and 615 ppfd. Seems to work well as they are not growing too fast and have no signs of light stress.

This strain was wicked fun to grow. Yield is amazing. One plant filled a 30 gallon tote once dried. WPM and leaf septoria was horrible this year but this strain seemed to do just fine. Very resilient. Grew short and stout like an indica. Covered in trich's and smells amazing.

Here we are again Bros&Sis! During my first indoor grow with Bubblegum XL I've had took some cuts to keep them alive and have some good plants to play with and exploring a little more the vaste world of growing cannabis... Long story short, 5 of them has radicated (some with plain water technique, some in rockwool cube) and then I started to play with them and tested my chinese Meizhi R300W LED panel (real wattage is 136w) it was full of dust, so why not? 😎 Now, the plants. They are in good conditions, some are in the same pot by weeks now (soil and coco), and try to keep them alive, so maybe they shows sign of suffering. Except for the One: In the video you will see my REALLY HIGH SCIENTIFIC METHOD (😂) wich I use to choose the best clones that will goes directly under a Scrog net (i am a DIYer) to fill the entire area lighten by the panel, it's a bit ambitious, but it will be fun for sure! I choose that one because she is the only one that gives me really good vibes and shows me she is strong enough to pass through hst, crop, supercrop and so and so... even if my original intentions was to keep them as a bonsai mothers, I've decided that this project have priority! 10weeks old Bubblegum XL clone Pot 11lt NetPot Coco brick with mycos Canna Coco A+B Liquid silicon from Growth Technology- guys, this thing is magical, besides the great effects on the plants' roots and system, after a couple of apply the plants were much more flexible and resistant to mites (yes, they are still there, fu**inmotherfu**ers, but this time they will die. forever gone, bye!)- I will never stop to thank @Mr_Di for his precious tips😘Higly basic product, it will raise your solution's PH, so watch out! Let me know what you think about, mates! CIAO! 😀
