consciouslifenews--2020-06-11--Post 2012: Consciousness Changing the Physical World

I feel extraordinarily fortunate to be living through this time of converging realities that invites us to literally walk between worlds .
The realities each of us experience can be quite different from another ’ s , as each person ’ s frame of mind selects the reality they encounter .
Each year post-2012 is sure to be exhilarating and rewarding for those whose attitudes and state of mind are resonant with living up to full potential and being of service .
One of the biggest opportunities post-2012 is to realize all of reality is a dream , and we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of consciousness of being awake while dreaming is known as lucid dreaming .
I once had a lucid dream in which I reclined on a grassy green field on a sunny day , gazing up at the sky .
I noticed that the sky seemed different because instead of seeing a full moon in the sky , I was looking at a full planet Earth .
I thought to myself , “ If I ’ m looking at a planet Earth in the sky , what am I on right now ?
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so how could I be seeing another Earth ?
I then watched in awe and wonder as I saw hundreds of planet Earths converging in the clear blue sky above .
This was a slow transition , about the same speed as a solar eclipse , as these planets moved closer together .
“ What is going on ?
” I wondered aloud in the dream… realizing as soon as I asked this question that I knew the answer .
This is a time of convergence , when it is as easy to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , from one reality to another , as it is to cross a creek by stepping from stone to stone .
We select the worlds we walk through in accordance with our state of consciousness—our emotional attitude and intellectual mindfulness—bridging the gap from one space-time to the next .
People encounter positive conscious reality shifts when in alignment with matching intentions , from their heads down to their toes .
A sense of clarity comes from holding such a state of alignment , as one becomes more honest , compassionate , and aware @ @ @ @ @ @ @ human dramas .
Anyone sustaining such energetic alignment while simultaneously energized and relaxed can experience life as a waking lucid dream , in which everything they think appears around them in the physical world .
In sharp contrast to such a life of instant manifestation , many people operate more like a funky radio frequency , broadcasting three or more conflicting signals in a noisy jumble .
Shifting reality by walking between worlds can be exhilarating .
Since my spiritual epiphany and kundalini experience in 1994 , I ’ ve seen all kinds @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and transform .
I ’ ve watched burns , cuts , and blisters vanish instantaneously .
I ’ ve pulled dollar bill after dollar bill from my wallet until I ’ d taken a handful of dollar bills from a wallet that a few moments earlier had no dollar bills at all .
I ’ ve seen car keys , a small crystal , and a tooth my daughter lost at school appear out of thin air .
I ’ ve witnessed spontaneous remissions of cancer , instantaneous healing of broken bones @ @ @ @ @ @ @ alive again .
I ’ ve seen people and cars appear and disappear out of and into thin air , books change their content , a gigantic sundial sculpture appear where it had not been before , and restaurants with completely new interior décor that have supposedly “ always been that way.
” I ’ ve heard a carton of milk land heavily inside my refrigerator .
I ’ ve watched the rain start and stop as I thought “ Start ” and “ Stop.
” I ’ ve seen lights turn on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ ve found lost items in places that had been empty moments before , and have been seen by others to be at places I ’ ve been daydreaming about .
Tremendous advances in awareness have been achieved over the past decade , as reality shifts became increasingly commonplace .
In a RealityShifters survey conducted in April 2000 with 395 individuals , 95 % stated they experience synchronicity and coincidence in their daily lives .
A majority of respondents felt that noticing reality shifts have changed their attitudes ( 59 % ) and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 45 % felt that noticing reality shifts has changed both their attitudes and beliefs .
86 % of the respondents reported , “ I ’ ve experienced time seem to slow down , stop , or speed up.
” This experience of noticing changes in time is essential for encountering a state of “ nowhen ” outside the regular flow of time , which we sometimes feel when daydreaming .
This “ nowhen ” is felt in an Oneness state of mind , as the “ eternal now ” point of view adopted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ consciousness to shift gears from one particular space-time reality to another .
When I led remote viewing exercises to view what lies beyond 2012 , most participants clearly sensed feelings of tremendous harmony , peacefulness , and joy .
Some also sensed that just past this peaceful calm lay some degree of chaos , stress , and strife for others .
For the most part , the energetic view beyond 2012 feels like a smooth continuation of life as we know it today , with an awareness of higher energies that facilitate instant @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in peaceful solitary contemplation on December 21 , 2012 , sometimes looking out across a large , calm body of water .
I saw myself by the Pacific Ocean along the California coast , sensing that even as I basked in radiant vibrations of unconditional love , many people on Earth were focused primarily on material matters , such as windstorms .
Humans will encounter overlapping realities and worlds post-2012 , as we experience shifts in reality in accordance with our thoughts and feelings .
This period of global transition is a time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ such a way that some people will experience a reality of peace and plenty , while others experience chaos and lack .
With so many worlds to choose from , people have a unique opportunity to learn how our state of mind and consciousness plays a vitally important role in creating our reality .
We will live in worlds that are uniquely keyed to whatever personal levels of love vs. fear , internal alignment vs. internal discord , and external harmony vs. external disagreement that we embody at any given moment .
This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for medical researchers to discover that the most important factor in healing involves our underlying beliefs , spirituality , attitude , and mindfulness .
Physicists will recognize and report the primacy of consciousness in all aspects of reality and acknowledge that the effects of consciousness necessitate a restructuring of the scientific method and a review of past experimental results .
In the midst of global economic , meteorological , and social instant karma , an underlying sense of higher values will emerge as people feel a sense of global unity and compassion .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ who increasingly respect all aspects of creation , genuinely wishing for what is best for one another .
People will see themselves clearly with appreciation and awareness of all roles being played out , and an underlying knowledge that none of us is defined solely by gender , race , religion , or social class .
People will increasingly feel a sense of divine unconditional love and relate to one another heart-to-heart with the awareness that we are all as one , and that dreams are real .
We will more easily think @ @ @ @ @ @ @ alignment with the spirit of oneness that unites us all and inspires each one of us uniquely .
Life post-2012 requires each of us to maintain clear and open heads and hearts , in order that the reality we get is the one we want to have .
Our ability to ask for and receive inspiration to rise above personal limitations can assist us in facing and managing our shadow issues—those qualities all humans possess , which need to be cleared at this time of instant karma .
It ’ s good to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ideals that you do your best to live true to at all times , in order to intend and maintain a state of internal cleanliness .
The level of integrity I recommend is akin to knowing and being OK with the idea that everyone can read your mind , in a state of emotional and spiritual integrity sometimes referred to as transparency .
The biggest invitation to life post-2012 is that we can have a greater sense of awe and respect for the underlying essence of reality .
This sense of awe is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ love and appreciation for all of creation .
We can feel every physical experience and interaction in life is a great gift .
While many crises will require our attention and assistance , we can see that everything on Earth is moving forward beautifully .
It is up to us to remain open to inspiration , and open to love .

I feel extraordinarily fortunate to be living through this time of converging realities that invites us to literally walk between worlds. The realities each of us experience can be quite different from another’s, as each person’s frame of mind selects the reality they encounter. Each year post-2012 is sure to be exhilarating and rewarding for those whose attitudes and state of mind are resonant with living up to full potential and being of service.
One of the biggest opportunities post-2012 is to realize all of reality is a dream, and we are the dreamers; this special state of consciousness of being awake while dreaming is known as lucid dreaming. I once had a lucid dream in which I reclined on a grassy green field on a sunny day, gazing up at the sky. I noticed that the sky seemed different because instead of seeing a full moon in the sky, I was looking at a full planet Earth. I thought to myself, “If I’m looking at a planet Earth in the sky, what am I on right now?” Clearly I was on planet Earth, so how could I be seeing another Earth? I then watched in awe and wonder as I saw hundreds of planet Earths converging in the clear blue sky above. This was a slow transition, about the same speed as a solar eclipse, as these planets moved closer together. “What is going on?” I wondered aloud in the dream… realizing as soon as I asked this question that I knew the answer. This is a time of convergence, when it is as easy to walk between worlds of intention and attention, from one reality to another, as it is to cross a creek by stepping from stone to stone.
We select the worlds we walk through in accordance with our state of consciousness—our emotional attitude and intellectual mindfulness—bridging the gap from one space-time to the next. People encounter positive conscious reality shifts when in alignment with matching intentions, from their heads down to their toes. A sense of clarity comes from holding such a state of alignment, as one becomes more honest, compassionate, and aware of observing the roles we play in human dramas. Anyone sustaining such energetic alignment while simultaneously energized and relaxed can experience life as a waking lucid dream, in which everything they think appears around them in the physical world. In sharp contrast to such a life of instant manifestation, many people operate more like a funky radio frequency, broadcasting three or more conflicting signals in a noisy jumble.
Shifting reality by walking between worlds can be exhilarating. Since my spiritual epiphany and kundalini experience in 1994, I’ve seen all kinds of things appear, disappear, transport, and transform. I’ve watched burns, cuts, and blisters vanish instantaneously. I’ve pulled dollar bill after dollar bill from my wallet until I’d taken a handful of dollar bills from a wallet that a few moments earlier had no dollar bills at all. I’ve seen car keys, a small crystal, and a tooth my daughter lost at school appear out of thin air. I’ve witnessed spontaneous remissions of cancer, instantaneous healing of broken bones, and a dead cat very much alive again. I’ve seen people and cars appear and disappear out of and into thin air, books change their content, a gigantic sundial sculpture appear where it had not been before, and restaurants with completely new interior décor that have supposedly “always been that way.” I’ve heard a carton of milk land heavily inside my refrigerator. I’ve watched the rain start and stop as I thought “Start” and “Stop.” I’ve seen lights turn on without anyone touching the switch. I’ve found lost items in places that had been empty moments before, and have been seen by others to be at places I’ve been daydreaming about.
Tremendous advances in awareness have been achieved over the past decade, as reality shifts became increasingly commonplace. In a RealityShifters survey conducted in April 2000 with 395 individuals, 95% stated they experience synchronicity and coincidence in their daily lives. A majority of respondents felt that noticing reality shifts have changed their attitudes (59%) and beliefs (55%), and 45% felt that noticing reality shifts has changed both their attitudes and beliefs. 86% of the respondents reported, “I’ve experienced time seem to slow down, stop, or speed up.” This experience of noticing changes in time is essential for encountering a state of “nowhen” outside the regular flow of time, which we sometimes feel when daydreaming. This “nowhen” is felt in an Oneness state of mind, as the “eternal now” point of view adopted by shamans and spiritual masters, allowing consciousness to shift gears from one particular space-time reality to another.
When I led remote viewing exercises to view what lies beyond 2012, most participants clearly sensed feelings of tremendous harmony, peacefulness, and joy. Some also sensed that just past this peaceful calm lay some degree of chaos, stress, and strife for others. For the most part, the energetic view beyond 2012 feels like a smooth continuation of life as we know it today, with an awareness of higher energies that facilitate instant manifestation. Most remote viewers saw themselves in peaceful solitary contemplation on December 21, 2012, sometimes looking out across a large, calm body of water. I saw myself by the Pacific Ocean along the California coast, sensing that even as I basked in radiant vibrations of unconditional love, many people on Earth were focused primarily on material matters, such as windstorms.
Humans will encounter overlapping realities and worlds post-2012, as we experience shifts in reality in accordance with our thoughts and feelings. This period of global transition is a time when multitudes of parallel realities converge in such a way that some people will experience a reality of peace and plenty, while others experience chaos and lack. With so many worlds to choose from, people have a unique opportunity to learn how our state of mind and consciousness plays a vitally important role in creating our reality.
We will live in worlds that are uniquely keyed to whatever personal levels of love vs. fear, internal alignment vs. internal discord, and external harmony vs. external disagreement that we embody at any given moment. This time of converging realities provides unique opportunities for medical researchers to discover that the most important factor in healing involves our underlying beliefs, spirituality, attitude, and mindfulness.
Physicists will recognize and report the primacy of consciousness in all aspects of reality and acknowledge that the effects of consciousness necessitate a restructuring of the scientific method and a review of past experimental results. In the midst of global economic, meteorological, and social instant karma, an underlying sense of higher values will emerge as people feel a sense of global unity and compassion. I envision a world of caring people who increasingly respect all aspects of creation, genuinely wishing for what is best for one another.
People will see themselves clearly with appreciation and awareness of all roles being played out, and an underlying knowledge that none of us is defined solely by gender, race, religion, or social class. People will increasingly feel a sense of divine unconditional love and relate to one another heart-to-heart with the awareness that we are all as one, and that dreams are real. We will more easily think, speak, and act harmoniously in alignment with the spirit of oneness that unites us all and inspires each one of us uniquely.
Life post-2012 requires each of us to maintain clear and open heads and hearts, in order that the reality we get is the one we want to have. Our ability to ask for and receive inspiration to rise above personal limitations can assist us in facing and managing our shadow issues—those qualities all humans possess, which need to be cleared at this time of instant karma. It’s good to have a spiritual practice, with high ideals that you do your best to live true to at all times, in order to intend and maintain a state of internal cleanliness. The level of integrity I recommend is akin to knowing and being OK with the idea that everyone can read your mind, in a state of emotional and spiritual integrity sometimes referred to as transparency.
The biggest invitation to life post-2012 is that we can have a greater sense of awe and respect for the underlying essence of reality. This sense of awe is inextricably intertwined with a feeling of deep love and appreciation for all of creation. We can feel every physical experience and interaction in life is a great gift. While many crises will require our attention and assistance, we can see that everything on Earth is moving forward beautifully. It is up to us to remain open to inspiration, and open to love. As singer/songwriter Michael Stipe from the musical group REM sings, “It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine.”

(TMU) – The shape of the universe is hard to get one’s head around, not only as a theoretical concept but as a mathematical one, yet it remains as one of the most important unanswered questions in physics. Determining the geometry of the universe, many scientists believe, will be fundamental to solving the mysteries of the cosmos.
New measurements of dark energy and cosmic expansion collected by a team of astronomers at the University of Portsmouth constitute the most precise data yet in this intellectual quest. This recently published data suggests the universe is spatially flat – not shaped like a bubble.
The team used a new method combining the study of cosmic voids (immense bubbles of space containing only a few galaxies) and relics of sound from the very early Universe, which scientists refer to as baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO). Previously, scientists attempting to chart cosmic expansion and dark energy used distant supernovae as beacons of measurement in the unfathomable depths of space.
The new method, helmed by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey for over a decade, gathered data from over a million galaxies and quasars. The results seemingly accomplished two interrelated theoretical hurdles: 1) disconfirmed measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) by the Planck satellite, which suggested a bubble-like spherical universe, and 2) confirmed the (Hubble) model of a cosmological constant dark energy, which suggests a flat universe.
Additionally, the fresh data will likely help write a new chapter in our understanding of the evolution of dark energy and its effect on the universe.
“This result shows the power of galaxy surveys to pin down the amount of dark energy and how it evolved over the last billion years,” wrote Portsmouth cosmologist Seshadri Nadathur in a press release. “We’re making really precise measurements now and the data is going to get even better with new surveys coming online very soon.”
It should be noted that a “flat” universe doesn’t mean what your mind might visually conjure. Of the ten or more suggested shapes of the universe over the decades, they belong to three major geometric categories: flat, round, and hyperbolic. So “flat” is actually an umbrella term that could refer to a number of different topologies, including the “torus.”
In other words, even if our universe is flat, that doesn’t rule out it being bent into an involutional, hyperdynamic, donut-like shape known as the torus.
The question of whether the universe is spatially flat or round is one of the most contested questions in physics, right up there with whether the cosmos are “open” or “closed”. Eerily, some cosmologists say if recent measurements confirm that the universe is both flat AND “closed,” this would raise the prospect of physical reality wrapping around itself in an infinite loop.
But that’s for another day and another cup of coffee.

Many people spend a lot of hours sitting down as they tend to sit down while traveling, working or studying in an office, and relaxing at home. Prolonged sitting can cause adverse effects on health, including poor posture and back health.
We'll look into what good posture means, and explain the correct sitting position to achieve it, especially when sitting behind a computer or in front of the TV.
What's Good Posture?
Good posture means the significant parts of a person's body are aligned correctly and supported by the correct amount of muscle tension.
Correct posture is vital for:
Decreasing body pressure when driving and exercising
Wear and tear on joints, muscles, as well as ligaments reduced
Maintaining balance while exercising and moving
Reducing the risk of muscle stress and overuse
Improving spinal health
Bad posture should be avoided as it can lead to debilitating muscle pain and nerve constriction .
The Best Sitting Posture
The best sitting position depends on the person's height, the chair they use, and the behavior they do while sitting.
An individual can improve his or her posture and achieve a correct sitting position by:
Keeping feet flat or lying on the floor or a footrest.
Not crossing knees or ankles.
Leaving a slight distance between the knees and the chair
Making knees positioned at the same height or slightly lower than the hips.
Placing ankles before knees.
Keeping the shoulders relaxed.
Keeping the knees and forearms parallel to the floor when possible.
Keeping elbows on the sides to create an L-shape in your arms.
Sitting straight up and looking ahead, without straining your neck.
Keeping the back against the chair, or using a backrest or cushion when there are places where the back doesn't meet the chair comfortably, especially in the lower back region.
Not sitting for too long. Ideally, take at least a 10-minute break each sitting hour.
Another way to ensure your good posture is maintained is by investing in one of these ergonomic gaming chairs .
Tips on How to Sit at a Computer or In Front of the TV
People who have to sit at a desk for long periods because of their job or schooling need to take special care to ensure they maintain a balanced back posture.
Try to do a mental check every 10 to 15 minutes once in the correct position to see if the posture has changed, and then correct any changes.
With time, awareness, and commitment, a person with a poor posture can correct it. For certain people, it can take weeks to months to see substantial results from working on their posture. When a person has improved their posture, they will need to maintain it, so they may often have to remember to recognize and correct unhealthy positions.
Final Thoughts
Good posture can transform your life! Start thinking about how you can maintain great posture all day long, whether you're sitting at a desk, playing your favorite video game, or simply going for a walk in the park.


consciouslifenews--2020-06-11--The Power of Social Media Influencers in 2020

You probably have heard about influencer marketing before .
Brands and companies , no matter the size , are choosing this type of advertising to share their products , increase brand awareness , and reach new audiences .

You probably have heard about influencer marketing before. Brands and companies, no matter the size, are choosing this type of advertising to share their products, increase brand awareness, and reach new audiences.
It is estimated that it will become a $9.7 billion business by the end of the year, and since more and more people are spending time following influencers on social media, this could be a good chance to create your first campaign. In this article you will learn 6 facts about why influencer marketing is essential for any business during 2020.
They have a loyal audience
Influencers are usually experts in a field, like Travel, Food, Gaming, Lifestyle, etc. People that follow them try their recommendations and go to the places that they suggest, because they trust them.
As a business you might be struggling to leverage your brand and increase traffic to your online store. If you collaborate with influencers, you might be able to change this. Influencers are going to help you spread your brand’s message, so find influencers with similar audiences. To do this, you can contact influencers to ask for this information but since it takes a while to do manually, you can use an influencer marketing software. There, you can analyze the audience of the influencer to ensure it is aligned with yours.
It is cost effective
Who said that influencer marketing is expensive? That’s a misconception that many people have. Small Businesses usually work with micro influencers and get good deals because their cost per post fees are not as high as those of top influencers. Sometimes, depending on the product or what you are willing to offer them, you might not need to give them monetary compensation.
Micro influencers have great engagement and their audience will give your products a try if the influencer’s review is good. Micro influencers have between 5K to 50K followers, so as mentioned before, it is important that their audience is similar to your own. According to Mobile Marketer, the Earned Media Value for each dollar spent on influencer marketing is $5.78.
Works for local brand awareness
Influencer marketing doesn’t need to be done for international purposes. As a brand, you can find influencers in your area to promote your business. A local influencer probably has local followers that are going to know where your brand is and they can see and check your products first hand.
Not only this, but influencers that are local might be more accessible to reach out to and might believe more in your product with the awareness of supporting local businesses, especially right now. To find out more about local influencers, you could specifically check on the social media channel or use an influencer marketing platform that has a location filter. The first option is manual and takes more time, while the other one can show you results in a matter of seconds.
Long term advocates of your brand
As much as influencer marketing campaigns are usually one-off, repeating the campaign will bring the brand awareness your business needs at different times of the year.
In order to create long term campaigns, it is important to keep open communication with the influencer. Since the beginning, express what your goals are and what the campaign should look like. Offer the freedom to let the influencers create their own content as they will feel more inspired and creative.
An influencer marketing campaign can be repeated at different times of the year, depending on holidays, sales or product launches. They become “brand ambassadors” and they can help you boost sales and traffic when your business needs it the most.
They can boost your SEO
If you collaborate with an influencer that has a blog, they can create backlinks for your brand or business. As a brand, find out who has a good domain authority blog and share your proposal with the main goal of creating backlinks for your business.
By appearing in their blogs, not only you will get a boost in traffic, but you can have a better search position than that of your competitors. As much as influencers are focusing on Instagram and Youtube, there are many influencers who still blog and have an audience that will like and check your products.
A combined effort of blogging and social media posts might be the best solution to understand if the campaign is worth it.
They create content that can be repurposed
Creating content many times takes time and expertise to be able to attract real leads. Influencer marketing has the opportunity to get content from influencers that can later be repurposed for other strategies. For instance, brands could use this content to reshare it, create ads or use it as content in their platforms.
Due to this, there needs to be a contract that will explain this deal and all the legal aspects to reshare the content. The more followers the influencers have, the more legal requirements exist. This example shows a brand repurposing the content of the influencer. As you can see, the brand doesn’t need to do much. As mentioned, before resharing the content of the influencer, make sure you can do it.
Conclusion
As influencer marketing continues to grow, influencers are gaining power in social media. They are great communicators and publish creative content for brands to be able to reach new audiences and convert loyal customers.
It is essential to create a set of goals for the campaign and find influencers with a similar audience, that way your product is targeted toward the right people. Some people think that influencer marketing is expensive, but this is not necessarily true, because with a low budget you can work with micro influencers where they can leverage your brand awareness.
If you are considering discovering influencers, you can do this manually on each social media network such as Instagram, Youtube, TikTok, Twitter, etc. But if you don’t have that much time, you can use an influencer marketing tool that can increase your chances of finding a more suitable influencer for your business.

Cannabis is one of the most resilient plants. It can thrive in many climatic regions around the world and is commonly known as weed. Nonetheless, it’s not very easy to grow. That’s mostly because the strains that are cultivated today are different from the wild cannabis we’ve known from time immemorial.
If you’re planning to venture into cannabis cultivation, there are certain rookie mistakes that you must avoid. Five of those mistakes is the focus of this article.
1. Overfeeding Your Cannabis Plants
There’s a general misconception among many rookie cannabis growers that supplying their plants with more nutrients than the recommended portions translates to higher yields. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Like any other organism, overfeeding your cannabis plants will likely produce the contrary results. More food doesn’t always equate to faster growth. In the worst-case scenario, overfeeding young cannabis plants might lead to stunted growth or even kill the entire plant or crop.
So, if you want buds to develop fast and healthy, stick to the recommended amounts of nutrients. Generally, plant nutrients come in two forms – organic and non-organic nutrients.
As the name suggests, organic nutrients are derived from organic matter, which mainly includes manure and compost. On the other hand, non-organic nutrients are industrially-prepared nutrients formulated with essential minerals that plants require to grow.
If you’re a rookie cultivator, your best bet is to choose organic nutrients as they release slowly into the soil and present lower risks of overfeeding. Non-organic nutrients are preferable where you’re looking for an immediate boost and already have some experience in determining the measurements.
Since non-organic nutrients are available for immediate uptake by your cannabis plants, you should ensure the measurements are right. A few grams over the recommended portion is all it takes to kill your plants.
Whichever form of nutrient you choose, the convention is to start low and work your way up slowly. Above all, follow the instructions and carefully monitor the plants for any signs of overfeeding.
2. Overwatering Your Plants
Overfeeding cannabis plants is bad enough. But overwatering your plants will almost certainly lead to an early death. The general rule is to give your plants just enough water to allow them to thrive. Overwatering the plants leads to root rot. When that happens, the roots are unable to absorb water and mineral salts to nourish the upper parts of the plant. Death comes slowly.
Similarly, under-watering your plants deny them adequate amounts of water to carry out certain physiological functions, such as photosynthesis and respiration. It will only be a matter of time before the plants start to wither.
Then comes the question, how much water is considered enough?
The rule of thumb is to ensure the top inch of the soil remains dry. If you’re unable to determine when your plants need watering, watch out for the first signs of wilting. Then, you know they’re ready for watering.
3. Poor pH Levels
Poor pH levels are another common rookie mistake. The power of hydrogen or pH refers to a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a substance. It’s measured using the pH scale, which ranges from 0 to 14. Values closest to zero are considered strong acids while values closest to 14 are strong alkalis. On the other hand, weaker acids have a pH value closer to but less than seven, whereas weak alkalis have a pH range closer to but more than 7. 7 is considered neutral.
When growing cannabis, the right pH for both the soil and water must be determined. Generally, cannabis thrives within a pH range of 5.5 to 6.5. At this range, you’re guaranteed high-quality cannabis buds that you can use to prepare powerful shatter.
A pH value less than 5.5 or more than 6.5 affects the plant’s ability to absorb nutrients from the soil, affecting your overall yields.
4. Improper Pruning
Pruning is an essential process where you remove dead or dying leaves, as well as branches and stubs from your cannabis plants. Pruning serves various crucial functions.
First, it prevents the redundant leaves from harboring pests, which might adversely affect your yields. Pruning also ensures that your plants follow a natural growth shape and remain healthy for as long as they experience vegetative growth.
When you prune the upper leaves of your cannabis plants, you encourage sunlight to penetrate through to the lower leaves, which positively impacts photosynthesis. Pruning also promotes aeration, ensuring that all the plants in your garden receive an adequate supply of air and oxygen.
When pruning your cannabis plants, focus on fan leaves. These are large leaves that don’t have any bud site at their nodes. Fan leaves play a crucial role in promoting photosynthesis. Therefore, the best time to remove them is as soon as the plants start to shadow the lower leaves.
5. Growing Cannabis Under The Wrong Climatic Conditions
When it comes to climate, two factors to consider are temperature and humidity. The ideal temperature and humidity for cannabis plants depend on whether you’re growing the plants inside, outside, or in a greenhouse.
Extreme temperatures (too hot or too cold) affect your plants negatively. Cold temperature conditions lead to the frosting. When that happens, the cells of your plants get frozen, preventing nutrients from moving efficiently through the plant. The ultimate effect is stunted growth.
Similarly, hot temperature causes wilting and weakness. If the hot conditions persist, heat stress may set in, leading to the eventual death of your plants.
The ideal temperature for growing cannabis plants is 75°F. It’s also very important to maintain humidity within the lower levels of the spectrum. Too high humidity harbors mold growth. To regulate the levels of humidity, especially for indoor plants, consider opening the walls of your greenhouse to allow humid air out while drawing dry air in. If you can, invest in intake and outtake fans, or dehumidifiers.
Like any plant, cannabis thrives when it’s cultivated under ideal conditions. Avoiding these rookie mistakes means you’ll enjoy the results of a good growing season and anticipate a bumper crop come harvest.

(TMU) – Astronomers have found a fast radio burst (FRB) that repeats in a looping cycle every 157 days, and they can’t identify the source, Science Alert reported.
FRB’s are energetic flares of radiation that last just a few milliseconds and most of them flare randomly only once, then they are detected again. Further, FRBs are believed to generate a billion times more energy than any known object in our galaxy. In fact, this energy equals to the one produced by 500 million of our suns, according to NASA.
As previously reported by TMU, scientists reportedly observed FRBs coming from somewhere deep in space in 2019. This was only the second time repeated blasts of signals of this type had ever been recorded. Now, scientists have discovered that FRB, 121102, one of the most famous active FRBs discovered repeating bursts several times since its discovery in 2012, has revealed a pattern.
According to a study of new observations and previously published research, FRB 121102 exhibits repeated burst activity for a period of about 90 days, before going quiet for about 67 days. Then this whole 157-day cycle repeats again. If this analysis is accurate, the source should have entered a new activity cycle around June 2nd of this month.
“This is an exciting result as it is only the second system where we believe we see this modulation in burst activity,” explained astronomer Kaustubh Rajwade of The University of Manchester.
“Detecting a periodicity provides an important constraint on the origin of the bursts and the activity cycles could argue against a precessing neutron star.”
Now the scientists need to determine the origin of the bursts.
“If we consider now also orbital motion to be the cause of the observed periodicity in FRB 121102, the large range in the observed periods (16-160 days) can constrain the possible binary systems,” the researchers wrote in their paper.
“High-mass X-ray binaries are systems with a neutron star in an orbit with a massive O/B star. HMXBs in our Galaxy and the Small Magellanic Cloud has a large range of orbital periods, ranging from few tens to hundreds of days… On the other hand, binaries where the donor star fills the Roche lobe of the system have much shorter periods (< 10 days) and are unlikely to be possible progenitors,”
they added.
“This exciting discovery highlights how little we know about the origin of FRBs,” said physicist and astronomer Duncan Lorimer of West Virginia University. “Further observations of a larger number of FRBs will be needed in order to obtain a clearer picture of these periodic sources and elucidate their origin.”
Most scientists who speculate on the origin of FRBs, point at magnetars or magnetic oscillations of neutron stars as possible explanations. Other hypotheses include ‘pulsar collapses’ and ‘black hole collisions’.
TMU previously reported that a respected Harvard scientist also theorized that looping signals in space could be aliens even though he stated the possibility was unlikely.
According to Harvard’s Abraham Loeb, a respected astronomer:
“At the moment we do not have a smoking gun that clearly indicates the nature of FRBs. So all possibilities should be considered, including an artificial origin. A civilization might generate a powerful beam of light to propel cargos with a sail and we could observe the leakage of that radiation outside the boundaries of the sail.”
While Loeb didn’t dismiss the potential that the radio bursts could be caused by aliens, he told CNET that the explanation could be much simpler:
“We observe periodicity in many astrophysical systems such as pairs of stars. Therefore, by itself—periodicity is not unusual enough to require an artificial origin. If we detected a Morse coded message, the data would have required a more creative interpretation.”
Strangely enough, another “mystery radio signal” has been recorded this year as repeating based on a clearly discernible pattern, according to a paper by a team of astrophysicists in Canada, that pinpointed the fast radio bursts to have an unprecedented 16-day cycle.
Another scientist named Loeb along with a colleague, Avi Loeb, and Manasvi Lingam, have previously proposed the idea that FRB’s may originate from alien solar sails, as such a propulsive source used to travel the cosmos.
