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"

Day 36 today! It was a great week for the plants. Definitely starting to take shape. It’s cool to see the dominate Sativa and dominate Indica strains growing side by side on the same timeline and same regiment. I actually only added .5 tsp of Tiger Bloom to 5 gallons of water last week. So they received two straight waterings of that, and I think they started to show minor signs of note burn. NBD. I did give them a healthy dose (1 gallon each) of straight water last time, and I will do the same (straight water) for at least the next watering. Then maybe a super small dose of Cha Ching after that. IDK. See how they look. Did some LST this morning and by the evening photo shoot the ends were already pointing straight up. Love to see that vigor. Honey Peach is a gnarly little rough and tough Indica strain. Coming in at a stout 15”, it’s the heavier of the two plants and I suspect it has a much more robust root mass (especially if what’s above the soil is any indication of what’s happening bellow). Looking very similar to when I grew it indoors. Compact, stinky and the leaves just go haywire all over the place. It’s definitely looking like it will produce a dense, substantial main cola and some solid spears off the side shoots again. I’m estimating 5-6 more weeks based off of what I saw on the indoor grow. I love this strain for ongoing daytime smoking. Great smell and a nice smooth flavor that gives me a mellow, relaxing high. First time growing this Blue Dream and it’s looking true to the Sativa family. Topping out at a slender 25”, this plant has very symmetrical and even growth. It really stretched the past week. Personally, I have no idea what to expect, but I have seen a few other grows of this exact strain take substantially longer to mature than advertised (I think one went a full 16 weeks). It’s definitely moving slower than the Honey Peach, but that is to be expected as it is sativa dominate. Definitely starting to smell! Time to hook those carbon filter up to the fans!

Sensi Seeds Jack Herer 4 weeks of flowering completed 10th March 2020 💪💪 She's Got the spirit this one and is really growing to the expectations of my wildest dreams The Buds are very sticky and have a distinct aroma unlike anything else in my canna Garden. She still has about 6 weeks left before I can harvest her so anything could happen between now and then , but if I can get her right thru to maturity I think I'll have some of The Finest medicine available 👌 Been feeding about 7 Litres a day of either plain water or water with some added goodies . Tested Ph and soil temp was 6.4 and 22c Thankyou for reading this weeks update for my Mission Jack Herer diary . 👍👍

08/30/2008 Day 1 week 4 Seedling leaves turning pale, started nutrients today Advanced Nutrients Grow,Micro,Bloom at .25% quarter strength 💪 of recommendation. I will ease her into the nutes. First res. Change today also. Ps. I noticed under day light she has burgundy coloured stems,like her mom but we will see if adding nutes changes this... I believe it's genetic ! 😎 Also changed lights to 16-8 and red spectrum turned to 50%, prepare her for the flip!..... 09/05/2018 Noticed i noticed in the last pic a little fert burn 🔥 but that's why I increase it slow 🐌 but got decent amount of growth so onto 1/2strength for next reservoir change in week 5 .😎

🌸 BlueBerry — Week 8 Flower | Shining Toward the Finish Line Here we are, my dear readers — Week 8 of flower. The room feels magical. Our BlueBerry girls, both phenos, are in their full glory — dense, fragrant, and sparkling with resin. From seed to now, it’s been a journey of patience, learning, and pure joy. The final stretch has begun, and you can feel it in the air — harvest is not far away, maybe one or two weeks more. ✨ The Girls Both BlueBerry #1 and BlueBerry #2 are magnificent. Thick colas stacking from top to bottom, glistening with frost under the lights. The pistils are slowly turning color, and the aroma is deep, sweet, and nostalgic — that unmistakable BlueBerry essence that makes this classic a legend. The trichomes are swelling beautifully, and bud density is impressive. The girls are holding up thanks to the yo-yos — these branches are heavy, bending under the weight of their own success. ⚙️ The Gear This week, let’s give a shout-out to the gear making this symphony possible: 💡 Lighting Setup We are running a mix of powerhouses — the ThinkGrow Model One and the ICL 300 inner canopy lights. Together, they create a perfect, even spread — deep canopy penetration from the ICLs and full-spectrum brilliance from the top lights. The inner canopy lighting has really proven its worth, driving light deep into the plant’s heart and boosting bud formation all the way down. 🌬️ Airflow & Extraction Two 6-inch extractors keep the air moving — one AeroFan, the other Spider Farmer, both with carbon filters for clean, fresh air. The Spider Farmer extractor runs through its own GGS controller, while the AeroFan is perfectly synced with the TrolMaster Tent-X system, ensuring ideal airflow at all times. 🎥 Monitoring & Control Our guardian eye — the TrolMaster camera — keeps a close watch, allowing remote monitoring of the girls in real time. The entire ecosystem (lights, fans, sensors, and camera) is fully integrated, giving us control and data precision from anywhere. 🌿 Environment & Feeding Temperatures stay warm — around 29°C — while humidity fluctuates around 55–60%. It’s hot, yes, but the airflow and light balance keep things steady enough for the girls to thrive. We’re continuing with our nutrient mix featuring Aptus Holland and Plagron products. The recipe is fine-tuned now — the balance between power and gentleness, giving the plants the final push to perfect those trichomes and terpene profiles. 💧 What’s Next As we near the finish line, we’re watching closely: • Trichome maturity is the main focus now — we’re waiting for that milky-to-amber dance. • Flushing is coming soon, preparing the soil and the plants for a clean, flavorful harvest. • Aroma intensifies daily — the room feels alive, sweet, fruity, and full of promise. 💙 Gratitude & Reflection From germination with The Cannakan method, through every transplant, every tweak, every experiment — it’s been a story of care and curiosity. Huge thanks to Zamnesia for these legendary genetics, to Aptus Holland and Plagron for their nutrient support, and to TrolMaster, ThinkGrow, Future of Grow, Spider Farmer, and AeroFan for helping make this environment as close to perfect as we can dream. And of course — thank you to everyone reading, supporting, learning, and growing with us. The haters, the lovers, the curious souls — all of you are part of this. 🌍💚 🌸 What to Expect (and Not) Expect swelling buds, deeper aromas, and trichomes that’ll make your camera cry tears of joy. Don’t expect miracles overnight — the last weeks are about patience, precision, and presence.

This girl is really doing very well, I loved the development and more by the color of the trichomes I would say that it would already be a great time for harvest, but it doesn't seem ready to me.. I will follow the schedule this is the last week with the hand well loaded with nutrients.. and in the next weeks I will slow down the pace and in the other I will do the wash.. I had never grown with mineral before, I had no idea how much salt accumulates, even using the cleanse a few times a week.. it is surreal so the wash in the last week has to be very well done.. It will be an excellent result, I am sure. Thank you for taking a little of your time to pass on my humble diary. 🙏✌️👊🌿🌿🌿

------GENERAL COMMENT------ Everything going well, the AK47 is much more vigorous than the BB, let's consider that she was more stressed. So i'm putting up the week timelapse, is a pain to do it but i found the result very interesting will try to put up one weekly. This week was a busy one, opted to a defoliation to be able to even the bud spots introducing a cage, and doing some LST, training to the cage to make a more flat pre flower spots in that way the flowering will be easier to control. So the plants grew in hight but was trained to be more bushy. We have a week to go or something about that then i will switch to 12-12. ------GG.AK47 COMMENT------ Vigorous growth, she was trained to even the canopy, with many bud spots.

She’s a thick one! Looking pretty good. I top dressed her with a 4 teaspoons of epson salt. She’s showing signs of magnesium deficiency. I’m still nervous she was pollinated by the Blackberry moonrocks that I had to cut down early. So I’m checking her several times daily.

Day 1, Week 4 of Flower – Things Are Getting Real We’ve officially hit day 1 of week 4 in flower, and it’s starting to get real in here! Buds are growing fast, stacking up nicely, and the aromas are straight fire — it's getting stinky in the best way. The terps are really coming through now. PPMs are sitting steady at around 1000, pH is hovering around 5.8, and everything’s been pretty dialed in on the feed side. I do wish I had defoliated a lot more before flipping. Honestly, my whole training kind of went sideways when I switched to flower. I went a little too hard with the LST, and now I’ve got a jungle of leaves with loads of bud sites — way more than I expected. It looks like a big bushy mess up top with some nice buds, but quite a few lowers aren’t getting the light they need. I’ve said this before, but I won’t say it again — lesson learned. Next round, I know exactly how I’m going to approach training, and I won’t be making the same mistakes. But all in all, things are still looking good. If everything keeps going as it is, I’m hoping to pull around 7 ounces of some solid, dank smoke

7/24/23 - Day 42 - Ok, so where to start? I'm going to go over the last couple days of issues/troubleshooting. We had an issue with the lights not coming on for a whole day/night cycle. That was a couple of days ago, and everything seems okay since then. I had some Canoeing/tacoing on the leaves once the lights were back on. I think I had the PH too low, 5.8. In flower, I should start moving it up the scale. Once I corrected the PH to 6.2, the canoeing/tacoing in the leaves seemed to be gone/almost gone. I'm REALLY worried about the height of the plant. She is only 12 in. from the light that I cannot move. I added a second scrogg net???? I don't know if that's done a lot, but I'm going to try and stop if from growing straight up. I think the best I can do is give it a lean. So Ill call this the ScoggGL (GangstaLean). You'll see some pictures up top as I start the ScoggGL I did the first big trim and pulled a 3-gallon bucket of fan leaves out. I cut off a few side branches I didn't want the plant to waste energy on. I trimmed so many leaves off it was crazy. The smells have been awesome! You all know the smell of the fresh plant stems and leaves as you trim and rub across them. It's one of my favorite smells, which is in full effect. I noticed that I have some pistils growing. I know what that means, shes going to have some flowers here in the next week. I couldn't be more excited!!!!! The roots are just downright ruthless; they have been growing out of control. I have a great picture of them in there with no water. I should note that I did two things that might have solved the Tacoing in the leaves. It could have been one or the other, but it also could be a combo of both things. I did the trimming to get some airflow between the leaves and changed the target for my PH from 5.8 to 6.2. When moving into flowering, I should have already done that. But I did both things while the leaves were Tacoing, and now they are not. I wanted to make sure I noted that. 7/26/23 - Day 44 - Things are looking great. No more tacoing, she's growing and still drinking about 2+ gallons a day of water. I hope the vertical growth stops soon, I want to remove a ton more fan leaves, and I'm hoping that it spends more time growing around than up, I'm keeping some leaves on just to slow some vertical growth. 7/27/23 - Day 45 - She's sleeping right now, but I will chop some more fan leaves when she wakes up. She's growing too tall, and I need to find a way to stop her. I think shocking her system will help stunt her growth. How crazy is this, what a conundrum I'm in. Normally I stress out trying to find the right time to trim to avoid stunting growth. I always keep my plants busy and do one or two chops. I think they need to grow as mother nature intended. Let them grow and do one, maybe two fan leave chops. That's always been my motto and its always worked out great for me. This is now the exact opposite. Feels weird even thinking about it, doing a leave chop two weeks into flower..... ARE YOU INSANE!!!!!! Lol The 2nd chop has happened. I took a ton of fan leaves off. It's time for the plant to slow down heal and start working on the buds! Let's see how this goes over the next couple of days. I added a timelapse of me chopping her up. 7/28/23 - Day 46 - After adding more water last night, I was checking PH, and I did a quick check on the ppm from the nutes. If it went from 600ppm down to 130ppm in a couple of days. So we decided to give her another dose of nutes so she has something to eat. I'll update you after she wakes up for the day.
