We become aware at such times of man's wonderful ability to bring seemingly unrelated elements into harmonic balance, and receive a glimpse into a world where everything exists in conscious sympathetic attunement to everything else. When we listen to a piece of music that seems to strike a beautiful chord somewhere inside us, or view a painting that simply glows with harmonic awareness well executed, we probably do not spare much time to contemplate the wonderfully intricate combination of vibrations that our sensors make it possible for us to perceive. We tend to appreciate the relationship between the parts of something by an awareness of the harmony or dissonance of the whole. This ability enables us to say "what a beautiful house!" instead of "analysis has proven that this collection of building materials exhibits certain elements of harmonic proportion." While this ability to instinctively appreciate the beauty of true harmony has an important role to play in evolution, a more analytical understanding of the laws involved can be most useful. This is especially so if we wish to create works of art where each part exists in true harmony, not only with the other part of that particular whole, but with the universe within which the creator and the created exist. Everything vibrates. From the most dense matter to the most subtle cosmic rays, everything which our senses allow our thoughts to become aware of, can be specified in terms of wavelength or frequency of vibration. These two terms define the same thing, but from different points of view. The following are the approximate wavelengths of various energy carriers: Cosmic rays 0.000,000,001 mm Gamma rays 0.000,000,1 mm X rays 0.000,500 mm Ultraviolet rays 0.003 mm Visible light 0.006 mm Infrared 0.01 mm Sound waves 1 meter Radio waves 300 meters Violet light 400 nm to 450 nm Blue light 450 nm to 500 nm Green light 500 nm to 570 nm Yellow light 570 nm to 590 nm Orange light 590 nm to 610 nm Red light 610 to 700 nm 1 nanometer (nm) = 0.000,000,1 cm = 1/10,000,000 cm If a guitar string is plucked and we hear a sound, it is not too difficult for the human mind to associate this sound with the vibration of the guitar string. With color it is quite different. It is difficult for us to conceive that the color of a substance is not an inherent property of the substance itself, but an indication picked up by our senses of that substance's ability to absorb or reflect the light which happens to be shining on it at that moment. Neither the matter nor the light is colored. What happens is that the brain learns to differentiate between the frequencies reflected or transmitted by the substance the eyes are focused on. The same thing happens with sound. When we say "Oh! Listen, they're playing my favorite song," what we really mean is: "My brain has stored within it a particular pattern of frequencies. I have compared the new information being received with this stored pattern and have deduced the answer that the two patterns are similar within certain specified tolerances." The 'pleasure' involved could have something to do with our running the pre-recorded pattern at the same time, in 'sympathy' with the new pattern as it is received. The word sympathy describes very well our ability to appreciate color and sound. It also describes the reason behind certain elements of harmony. For instance, if a substance vibrating at 100 cycles per second (tone 1) is in the proximity of another substance vibrating at 200 cycles per second (tone 2), we could perceive, if we had the right equipment, a certain sympathetic relationship between the two. We will see from this that there is a uniform doubling of the first tone seen in the second. At various points along the waves, the two are the same in amplitude. At other points, they are at opposite poles to each other. This doubled frequency has more points of similarity to the original than any other frequency except the original itself. If the equipment we had available for measuring these two frequencies was a soundboard amplifier and a pair of ears, then we would hear what would sound to us like one tone. If we had the opportunity to hear one at a time, we would hear that although they sound the same, one is higher in pitch than the other. This characteristic of 'the same but different in pitch', musicians have called the octave. Any two tones produced where one has exactly doubled the frequency of the other is called an octave. Speaking in ratios, an octave would appear then as the ratio 2:1 or 1:2, depending on whether we are talking of an octave up or down. A single note produced by almost any instrument will contain more than one wavelength or frequency. It will have a dominant frequency, the wavelength of which we would call the note's 'fundamental' or 1st harmonic. It will also have a varying number of upper harmonics, gradually fading in intensity into infinity or silence. Natural harmonics always have the same pattern of intervals between them. The interval between the 1st and 2nd harmonic is a perfect octave; between the 2nd and 3rd a perfect fifth; between the 3rd and 4th a perfect 4th; and so on, the intervals becoming smaller and smaller until they lose any relationship with the western 12 tone scale as it exists at the moment. Just as an octave has certain elements of sympathy with its fundamental, so some intervals have been noted to be more perfectly in sympathy with the fundamental than others. The ratio of the 'perfect 5th' or interval of 7 semitones, as it occurs in the harmonic series, is 3:2 or 2:3, while that of the 'perfect fourth" is 4:3 or 3:4. All the tones in the western 12 tone scale can be expressed in terms of the ratio between the upper tone and its fundamental. This would seem to be an ideal way of generating a scale from any given fundamental and several attempts have been made to do this, the Pythagorean system being probably the most well known. Although when working with a single tone instrument playing on its own, the Pythagorean formula works wonderfully well, if we had several instruments tuned this way together and asked them to play almost any western music, we would find that at times they sounded quite out of tune to each other. The lack of flexibility of the various scale systems based on the harmonic series has led to what is known as the 'tempered' scale. This uses as its primary unit of interval the ratio of the octave or 2:1. It then proceeds to divide the interval between any fundamental and its upper octave into 12 smaller intervals by applying the ratio: two to the one-twelfth power, to one (21/12:1). This equals 1.059463094, so by multiplying any frequency by this number, we will obtain the tempered semitone next up from our fundamental. We will also find that any tone twelve semitones up from any other tone, in a scale generated in this way, will have exactly double the frequency. If we took the note middle C on a piano and halved the wavelength, we would have the note C one octave above. If we halved this, we would have the C above, and so on. However, within about 6 octaves, we would find that although a 'sound' was being produced, no human ear could perceive it. If we kept on going, halving and producing upper octaves of our fundamental C, we would proceed through the infrared band, into the visible light spectrum. If we happened to be outside during the day, we would, for one octave only, see the note C with our eyes. The next octave above would already be in the ultraviolet band, and outside the eye's sensitivity range. If we can think of color as being an indication of a substance's vibratory rate or wavelength, we may begin to see a relationship that could exist between the color and sound spectrums. The logical extension of what has so far been said is that there exists a scale in the color spectrum that corresponds exactly to the scale in the sound spectrum, each color tone being an octave of the equivalent note in the sound range. This is not the end of the story but only the beginning. If we can for the moment accept that any wavelength in one band has upper and lower octave stretching out to infinity, then the next question is 'fine, but what shall we use as our fundamental? A particular color? A particular sound frequency?' The musicians among us will probably say 'A 440'. This means that the note A should vibrate at 440 Hertz, or 440 times per second. They would tell us that this is standard pitch has been adopted by most orchestras around the world; pianos are tuned to it, instruments are constructed to formulas based on it, and so to them it would probably seem the most appropriate place to begin. Some of these musicians may know of the battle that is still raging with regards to this being the standard, but few would know why A = 440 Hz was chosen except that it worked when it was set to be a suitable compromise between the many different pitches in use at the time. 432 Hz is said to be mathematically consistent with the patterns of the universe. Studies reveal that 432 Hz tuning vibrates with the universe’s golden mean PHI and unifies the properties of light, time, space, matter, gravity, and magnetism with biology, the DNA code, and consciousness. When our atoms and DNA start to resonate in harmony with the spiraling pattern of nature, our sense of connection to nature is said to be magnified. Another interesting factor to consider is that the A=432 Hz tuning correlates with the color spectrum, while the A=440 Hz is off. Audiophiles have also stated that A = 432 Hz music seems to be non-local and can fill an entire room, whereas A=440 Hz can be perceived as directional or linear in sound propagation. Once you adopt the idea that sound (or vibration in general) can have an equalizing and harmonizing effect (as well as a disturbing effect), the science of harmony can be applied to bring greater harmony into one's life or tune to specific energies. There is a form of absolute and relative harmony. Absolute harmony can, for example, be determined by the tuning of an instrument. The ancients tuned their instruments at an A of 432 Hz instead of 440 Hz - and for a good reason. There are plenty of music examples on the internet that you can listen to in order to establish the difference for yourself. Attuning the instrument to 432 Hz results in a more relaxing sound, while 440 Hz slightly tenses up the body. This is because 440 Hz is out of tune with both macro and micro cosmos. On the contrary, 432 Hz is in tune. To give an example of how this is manifested microcosmically: our breath (0,3 Hz) and our pulse (1,2 Hz) relate to the frequency of the lower octave of an A of 432 Hz (108 Hz) as 1:360 and 1:90. It is interesting to note that 432 Hz was the standard pitch of many old instruments and that it was only recently (19th and 20th century) the standard pitch was increased. This was done in order to be able to play for bigger audiences. Bigger audiences (more bodies) absorb more of the lower frequencies, so the higher pitch was more likely to “cut through”. One of the oldest instruments of the world is the bell ensemble of Yi Zeng (dated 423 BC), tuned to a standard F4 of 345 Hz, which gives an A= 432 Hz. The frequency of 345 Hz is that of the platonic year! Similarly, many old organs are tuned in A=432 as well; for example, St. Peter’s Capella Gregoriana, St. Peter’s Capella Giulia, S. Maria Maggiore in Rome. Maria Renold’s book “Intervals Scales Tones and the Concert Pitch C=128 Hz” claims conclusive evidence that 440 Hz and raising concert pitch above scientific “C” Prime=128 Hz (Concert A=432 Hz) disassociates the connection of consciousness to the body and creates anti-social conditions in humanity. The difference between concert pitch A=440 Hz and Concert A=432 Hz is only 8 cycles per second, but it is a perceptible difference of awareness in the human consciousness experience of the dream we share called existence.

🍬 Candy Rain Auto by Zamnesia | Week 10 ✨ The Glamorous Survivor Keeps Shining Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 Some plants fight for attention. Some plants demand it. Some plants seem determined to become the biggest, loudest personality in the entire room. And then there is Candy Rain. Our solo survivor. The girl who started this adventure simply because she was the one who remained... and somehow, week after week, she keeps becoming more beautiful. At this point, I don't even know if "survivor" is still the right word. Because she isn't just surviving anymore. She's thriving. And honestly? This girl is becoming glamorous. 🍬✨ 🍬 The Solo Survivor Has Her Own Role I've said it before, and I'm probably going to say it again... I really like the role this girl has taken in the 8×8 Adventure. She's not trying to compete with anybody. She's not trying to become the tallest. She's not demanding constant attention. She's not creating problems for me to solve. She's simply doing her own thing. And she's doing it beautifully. That's probably what I appreciate most about her. She has developed her own personality within this experiment, and at this stage, my job is becoming wonderfully simple: Provide. Observe. Document. That's it. She knows what she's doing. 😂💚 🌿 Deep Green Beauty The first thing that catches my attention this week is the colour. Those deep greens are absolutely beautiful. The foliage has that rich, healthy appearance that makes the plant look incredibly alive. And when you put that deep green foliage together with the developing flowers, the contrast becomes gorgeous. She's got that elegant appearance I really enjoy photographing. Not chaotic. Not overly complicated. Just... beautiful. There's something about a plant that looks comfortable in its environment. And that's exactly how Candy Rain looks to me right now. Comfortable. Established. Confident. And completely herself. ✨ She's Doing Her Own Thing One of the biggest lessons from this entire 8×8 Adventure continues to be that plants don't follow our expectations. We can give them the same room. The same lighting. The same environmental conditions. The same general feeding strategy. The same irrigation philosophy. And then... they decide what they're going to become. Candy Rain decided to become Candy Rain. And I couldn't be happier about it. She's not trying to imitate another phenotype. She's not trying to match anybody else's timing. She's following her own rhythm. And at Week 10, that rhythm is looking very good. 🌸 The Flowers Keep Moving Forward The flowering development continues to progress beautifully. The flower structures are becoming increasingly established, and the plant is clearly moving further into this later stage of flowering. The photographs show those developing flowers surrounded by that beautiful deep green foliage. And that's one of the things I really enjoy about this stage. We're no longer looking at a plant simply beginning to flower. We're watching the work from all those previous weeks become increasingly visible. The branches have their flowers. The flowers have their structure. The plant has its character. And now... we wait. We provide. And we watch. ❄️ The Details Keep Getting Better This is also the point in the run where photography becomes especially rewarding. From a distance, Candy Rain is simply a beautiful flowering plant. But get closer... and there is another world happening. The developing flower structures. The pistils. The calyxes. The resin. The textures. The little details that you simply don't appreciate from across the room. This is why I keep coming back with the camera. Every week gives me another reason to get closer. And Candy Rain is giving me plenty of reasons. 🍬📸 🌿 No Need to Force Anything One thing remains very clear with this girl: I'm not looking for reasons to interfere. She's not asking for major intervention. She's not showing me a structure that needs to be completely changed. She's not demanding that I redesign her. She's growing. She's flowering. She's maintaining beautiful foliage. She's developing. So why would I try to turn her into something else? This is one of those moments where the grower has to know when to step back. Sometimes cultivation is about action. Sometimes cultivation is about restraint. And right now? I'm choosing restraint. Let her do her thing. 💚 Provide. Observe. Enjoy. I think this is probably the simplest way I can describe where we are with Candy Rain. We provide. Water. Nutrition. Light. A stable environment. And support when necessary. We observe. The flowers. The foliage. The structure. The maturation. The changes from week to week. And then... we enjoy it. Because what's the point of doing all this if we don't stop occasionally and appreciate what the plants are giving us? Candy Rain is giving me a beautiful plant. A beautiful story. And honestly... a beautiful reason to smile every time I open the tent. 🍬💚✨ 🌱 One Survivor. One Story. For anyone joining the diary now, the Candy Rain story is a little different from the others. She is the solo survivor from her seed pack in this experiment. What began as an accident became an opportunity. And that opportunity became one of the plants I now genuinely look forward to documenting every week. That's one of the funny things about growing. You don't always know which plant is going to become special to you. Sometimes it's the biggest. Sometimes it's the strangest. Sometimes it's the one that gives you the hardest time. And sometimes... it's the one that simply keeps getting better. Candy Rain has become that girl. 💡 The 8×8 Adventure Continues And of course, Candy Rain remains part of the bigger experiment. For anyone discovering the project for the first time: We're growing twelve different plants together under the same general ecosystem. Same room. Same 12/12 lighting schedule. Same environmental strategy. Same general nutritional approach. Same grower. Different genetics. Different phenotypes. Different personalities. And that's what makes the comparison so interesting. The environment gives them the opportunity. Genetics decide how they express it. Candy Rain's expression has been one of balance, elegance and consistency. And at Week 10... I really like what I'm seeing. 💧 Still Just Giving Her What She Needs The feeding strategy remains consistent with the flowering program. 🌸 Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds — 1 ml/L ✨ Green Sensation — 1 ml/L 🍯 Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjustment products — as required Current recorded solution strength is approximately 2.0 mS/cm, with pH around 6.0. Watering remains approximately 1.25 L per plant / 24h. Nothing dramatic. No special recipe. No complicated intervention. We're simply providing what she needs and letting her continue doing what she's been doing so well. And visually? She's answering beautifully. 🌡️ Current Conditions Current recorded conditions for Week 10: 🌸 Flowering: Week 10 📏 Height: 90 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: 29.9°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: ~6.0 ⚡ EC: ~2.0 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 🌬️ CO₂: 639 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L 💦 Watering: ~1.25 L per plant / 24h The environment continues to remain consistent. And that consistency is important because it allows us to keep watching the plants themselves rather than constantly wondering whether environmental changes are responsible for every difference. Same stage. Same room. Different expressions. 📸 This Week's Gallery I think this week's photographs capture Candy Rain exactly as she is right now. Beautiful. Elegant. Deep green. Flowering. And completely comfortable being herself. There isn't one dramatic feature that needs to carry the entire story. It's the combination. The plant structure. The foliage. The flowers. The colours. The developing resin. The overall balance. She doesn't need to scream for attention. She just looks good. And sometimes... that's enough. Actually, it's more than enough. 🍬✨ 👑 The Glamorous Survivor I think I've found her new title. Not just the survivor. Not just the elegant survivor. She's becoming the Glamorous Survivor. 😂🍬✨ Because look at her. She made it through the beginning. She established herself. She developed her structure. She entered flowering. She kept her beautiful foliage. She kept moving. And now she's standing there looking increasingly refined. She's not trying to be the queen of the room. She's not fighting anybody for the crown. She's just... glamorous. And I absolutely love it. 🔮 Looking Ahead At this point, there isn't much I want to change. And that's actually a wonderful place to be. I'll continue watching the flowers develop. I'll continue watching the resin. I'll continue monitoring the colour and overall plant health. I'll keep documenting the changes with the camera. And most importantly... I'll let her tell me what comes next. Because Candy Rain has already shown me that she knows how to surprise me. She started as the survivor. Then she became the elegant one. Now she's becoming the glamorous one. Who knows what title she'll earn next? 😂🍬 ✨ Let Her Shine I know I'm repeating myself. But honestly... sometimes repetition is deserved. She's amazing. She's beautiful. She's doing her own thing. She's maintaining those gorgeous deep greens. She's developing her flowers. She's moving toward maturity. And she isn't asking for much. So what am I supposed to do? I'm going to give her what she needs. I'm going to keep watching. I'm going to keep photographing. And I'm going to enjoy the hell out of watching this girl finish her story. Candy Rain doesn't need me to make her shine. She's already doing that. I'm just making sure nothing gets in her way. 🍬💚✨ 💚 Final Thoughts Week 10. And our solo survivor continues to impress me. She's not the loudest plant in the room. She's not the tallest. She's not the most demanding. She's not trying to become something she isn't. She's simply... Candy Rain. Deep green. Beautifully structured. Flowering beautifully. Developing her frost. Moving toward maturity. And doing it all in her own rhythm. That is probably what I appreciate most about her. She doesn't need a dramatic story every week. Her story is simply: she keeps getting better. And sometimes, that's the best story of all. The girl who was simply lucky enough to remain... became a plant I genuinely love watching. The solo survivor. The elegant survivor. And now... the glamorous survivor. 🍬✨👑 Let's make her shine. 🙏 Thank You Another week. Another chapter. Another reminder of why this 8×8 Adventure has become such a fascinating journey. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving growers a place to document these experiments, compare plants and share what we learn. Thank you to Zamnesia for the genetics behind our Candy Rain survivor. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the adventure. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for powering the main lighting environment. Thank you to Lumiflora for bringing additional lighting into the canopy and giving us another interesting variable to observe. And thank you to TrolMaster for helping maintain the stable environment behind the scenes. And, of course, thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every bit of feedback. Every person stopping by to watch these plants develop. It all makes this adventure even more enjoyable. And Candy Rain? She'll keep doing what Candy Rain does. She'll keep growing. She'll keep flowering. She'll keep shining. And I'll keep providing what she needs while she writes the rest of her story. The solo survivor is still here. Still beautiful. Still glamorous. Still doing her own thing. And honestly... I wouldn't have it any other way. 🍬💚✨ Growers Love, my friends! 🌱💚

Week 26/11 - 2/12 Two different girls 😍

3 ml npk in 2 l water And given half of it! Plant seems to like it And pruning worked wonder! Leaves are healthy and getting much bigger in size! 15 cms+ excited!!

nice seeing them creaping up.. some colder days menth less water.. some more lst on day 31 1 juli 2020 outdoor had some 30 degrees days disaster... cold weather 19 degrees i have defoliated them again buth they dont respond wel difficult plant to grow up for me at least... and now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! one of my dogs ate the top of the outdoors plant ending its cycle outdoors i have now taken her indoors in the hope she will pick up again 18 / 6 of light led viparspectra 600w 25 cl of clean water i have no nutriens in the house to give them so .................. I KILLED THE DREAM gonna put some autoflowers in the soil from sweet seeds and royalqueenseeds i am now tester for both gooood journey to you all see ya in the next diary

She looks like a single main cola coming from the soil, very hard dense and sticky, I love this little cream mandarine, the aroma I can say is very sweet, but not definitely the most sweet of the garden. Peace ✌️ 💚

Salut a tous 🍁 On es arrivé à la fin je termine cette semaine de rinçage à l'eau clair et on coupe. L'odeur citronné Skunk Vien d'apparaitre et cela et dingue je kiff

My plant grew great I over don’t my veg and auto room with having way to many plants she was kinda left in the corner most of her growing life I am very happy with what she did to say I never had to do a lot basically thanks rqs for the chance .. all my other autos using rqs have a lot more space so they can actually breath

Week three all the girls are strong and healthy no problems. Besides the sherbet cream cakes seem to have some problems with the transplant possibly you know what I’m not exactly sure of what went wrong with them, but they both are smaller, but much slower growth rate in all other strains I have planted Besides that everybody is still nice and happy. The girls are still getting foliage fed every four days with pure protein, soluble kelp meal as well as getting boogie brew, heavy harvest tea every seven days. I added two videos to this week to kind of show how the girls really look it’s hard to get a good look at them with a photo but they’re all growing well and healthy but they’re kind of just trees right now and we want bushes so as of this week, I think after I give them their tea tomorrow, I will tie everything down and start stretching and we want at the end of this grow to have at least 10 foot of width on all four big girls. Well, still achieving a strong height of hopefully 8 feet..

12/15: Some plants are taking too long to transition and stretching beyond my space constraints, so I dialed the photoperiod back to 12/12. 12/16: Fed today and rotated edge plants. Added another 150w of 3000k below the canopy. 12/17: Worked on ventilation...no A/C necessary now, as I'm using another AC Infinity 6" fan to intake outdoor air into the closet whenever temps reach 75f..and it's been cold as hell outside.👍 The final trick will be to replace the 6" exhaust fan with an 8" so as to be able to fully exchange the closet air faster ...but that's gonna have to wait til next season.

Week 3 flowering some flowering quicker then others which is expected as its about 15 different fire strains I have had to show my diaries in 3 parts this is my inhouse gentics I am so glad to finally get my hands on these , I'm pheno hunting a massive summer run with some fire gentics. I have inhouse 2x platinum gushers 2x terples 1x dolato s1 1x slurmint All from seed so hopefully I find a nice pheno I also have seedsman 2x strawberry banana grape which are both the biggest in tent 2 x peyote gorrilla 2 x wedding cake limited editions . Smells aboustley fire already 🔥 I have zamiensa seeds 3x larry bird kush one of the phenos are smelling like nothing I have smelt before Barneys farm 3x phantom OG which was clones from my last run Phoenix seeds X5 super kush clones from my last run Also I have grew 2 super silver haze OG which I got as freebies from seedsman they smell beautiful 😍

Semana 13: 31dez - 6janeiro Quase perto do fim!

Leaves starting to brown. First thought was over fertilizing but guessing calcium. Did add powdered oyster shells to dirt mix but needing alot more.

Very dense and sticky buds with a little purple in them , she smells very good too, looking forward to her taste

shes also growing! easy peacy structure wise!

Fatting buds
