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"

Today is day 54 from planting, and I have a log of optimism that they will finish out strong! The girls continued to stretch until a couple or days ago. Then they seemed to slow down and start focusing on bud growth, which was a welcome site. I'm super happy with the lst on the right plant, the left was a learning experience. There are a handful of stalks that are 10-12 inches above the lower canopy, which is obviously and issue. The main stalks just got so stiff that I couldn't bend them without risking a snap, which I have had happen in both previous grows. They continue to be thirsty, drinking almost a gallon per day each. Unlike previous grows, I have been doing the full amount of nutes, as I've heard Green Crack is a particularly hungry strain. Not much else to report, should be close to the stage where I just try to maintain everything and hopefully watch the buds fatten up. Thanks as always for taking the time to check out this diary, wish you all the best in your growing endeavors!

Hello fellow grower Week 3, when taking the pictures and comparing from only 7 days ago, I said to myself it’s unbelievable... Look the development in just a week. The Mars Hydro FC6500 is absolutely remarkable. It’s like growing under the sunlight in a controlled environment ! _________________________________________________ Barney’s Farm genetics is no bullshit, vigorous and resilient, they have exploded during this week. Transplanting last week was done in time to keep the growing rate at maximum. _________________________________________________ Last week transplanting using Cellmax BIO RootBooster did a great job. I can already see some tips of the roots coming out from the drain holes of the pot. _________________________________________________ No water during the week, no need. Just a nice story about the Dutch Golden age, 17th century. World is round since not so long, the Dutchmen are all over the globe on board of their galleon across the seas. Imagine a crew of sparrow full of tattoos with sharp teeth. On board, in a chest, well kept in a dry place, there’s some Cannabis seeds .... 😊 How they were able to navigate so far and so long ? Because they were able to repair the ropes in case of a wreck growing the seeds to make hemp quickly and Cannabis seeds holds enough protein... Stay tuned folks, it’s growing crazy 😝

Veg59, tercer día de pre floración. Hoy se regó por primera vez con Bud Ignitor para estimular la floración, el riego fue de 6.2 pH y EC 2.0, drenaje de 6.2 pH y EC entre 2.1~2.5. Se espera que pasen unas 3 semanas hasta que aparezcan signos de floración, ojalá ocurra mucho antes.

10/14-its clear these babes want to flower. HULK A,C, and D are doing fine/bouncing back from my error in week 5. HULK B seems to have been affected the most and is trying to recover. -Im not going to neut feed until the middle of the week depending on how the plants look! 10/15- Watered with Rhizotonic to aid the plants. 10/18- Plants are growing again! and looking happy! all is well. 10/20- Last day of the week but I decided it was time to feed. I started the first round of bloom feed. P.S sorry about the purple light in all my photos! I broke the zipper to my grow tent so taking them out is super hard! I will try and take better photos here on out!

Also a fastbuds purple lemonade in a 11 litre pot (30grams)a a original cheese in a 2 litre pot(experimenting)which is not ready yet. Strawberry pie.....wow so impressed with the yield but also the looks are amazing and smells like strawberries... who’d of thought it lol. Recommend to everybody will defo grow again. Fastbuds are killing the auto game!👊🏻

Ciao growers, spero abbiate passato un buon natale. Al giorno 28 le piante stanno benone e l'odore inizia a farsi più intenso: aroma dolcissimo, sembra quasi di zucchero filato, incredibile. Ho aggiunto i soliti 10l d'acqua con il tripac floragrow 8ml, floramicro 1,6ml, florabloom 2,4ml. Qualche giorno fa ho comprato lo stimolatore di fioritura della GHE Pro Bloom (ex Biobloom) super concentrato. Questa è la prima volta che uso questo prodotto ma qua sul sito ne ho sentito parlare bene. Ne ho usato 2ml (0.2ml/l). Ho anche alzato la lampada di qualche centimetro (ora sta attorno ai 30cm dalle piante), poichè molte punte delle cime stavano diventando bianche. La lampada un po' più vicina ad alcune cime della glookies (<30cm) che si è allungata di più dell'altra ma mi sembra un peccato sacrificare tutto alzando la lampada per pochi rami più alti. Nel complesso devo dire cha stanno crescendo bene, già dalla scorsa settimana la differenza in grandezza delle cime è evidente. Sono contento. Ci si sente tra qualche giorno o la prossima settimana, dipende se cambierà qualcosa😄 edit giorno 31: nulla di importante da segnalare, ho aggiunto alla soluzione 20l d'acqua con 0.8ml/l di floragrow, 1.5ml/l di floramicro, 2,4ml/l di florabloom, 0,1ml/l di biobloom e 0,5ml/l di cal mag (tutto dela GHE). Nell'ultima settimana hanno necessitato di più acqua rispetto alle settimane precedenti edit giorno 34: ho eseguito una piccola defogliazione su entrambe le piante togliendo le foglie che coprivano i siti de fiori almeno superficialmente. A lavoro finito sembrava che avessi messo le mani in della colla talmente erano appiccicose. All'interno entrambe le piante seno una giungla, avrei dovuto pulirle un po' meglio durante la vegetativa (già la defogliazione al ventesimo giorno di fioritura era stata difficoltosa per l'eccessivo numero di rami che non mi permettevano di infilare le mani): moltissime foglie e fiori non ricevono luce purtroppo, mi servirà di lezione per il prossimo ciclo. Anche stavolta ho aggiunto alla soluzione 10 litri d'acqua con 0.8ml/l di floragrow, 1.5ml/l di floramicro, 2,4ml/l di florabloom, 0,1ml/l di biobloom. L'odore si fa veramente intenso

Poslední týden před přepnutím světel na 12/12. Světlo běží na 75% a 50cm od rostlin. Všechny rostliny vypadají naprosto spokojeně bez známek přehnojení nebo nedostatku živin. Sweet Orange 1 jsem přesadil do skutečného 1L květináče jako její sestry a krávu jsem zlikvidoval. D59 Úterý: Holky zality 1,5L vody s 0,5ml/l RQS Flowering Booster : Bigger Flowers D61 Čtvrtek: Defoliace před kvetením . Odstranil jsem jen ty listy, které branily pronikání světla a vzduchu (asi 5-7 listů z každé rostliny). Většinu vějířovitých listů jsem pouze zastrčil aby nepřekážely. Počkám ještě 2 dny, potom přepnu světla na 12/12. D63 Sobota: Holky dostaly 2L vody s živinami. Přepnuto na 12/12

Zwei Wochen in der Blütephase sind nun vergangen, und die Pflanze wurde sowohl gescrogt als auch gelollipopt. Durch das Scrogging wurde die Pflanze weiter flach und gleichmäßig verteilt, sodass das Licht auch die unteren Bereiche gut erreicht. Zusätzlich habe ich durch das Lollipopping die unteren Blätter und schwächeren Triebe entfernt, um die Energie auf die Haupttriebe und Blütenansätze zu konzentrieren. Diese Maßnahmen fördern eine bessere Luftzirkulation und Lichtverteilung, was die Entwicklung gesunder, kräftiger Blüten begünstigt. Die Pflanze sieht jetzt schon vielversprechend aus, und ich bin gespannt, wie sie sich in den kommenden Wochen weiterentwickelt.
