#from flourescent and LED etc. and so on

[seiwas]

Hiya! I love your writing and I'm so glad to be seeing you on my dash bc I haven't in a while! For your writing revival game, can I suggest:

"Incandescent" and either Ushijima or Osamu?

hi cheesy! 🥹 this is so nice of you to say, thank you 🥹 i've been a bit on and off here and there over the past few months because work has just been so busy 🥺 but i'm glad to be back here too!! thank you for sending in a prompt 🥹

contains: established relationship, halloween outfits, miya dynamics

osamu + incandescent

there are a lot of reasons why atsumu loves you for his brother―you bring osamu food when he barely has time to eat in the shop, and you send picture updates in the group chat you have with the two of them and ma. you also give him your extra onigiri when osamu says he's had too much.

you're there for osamu in times when he can't be, and for that, he's grateful.

this time though, he thinks he might just be indebted to you.

"people're g'na ask ya to sit on me," osamu glances at your costume before staring at the mirror again. from the dining table across the room, atsumu is holding in his laugh, doing his best to keep the water in his mouth.

tonight is onigiri miya's annual halloween party, and you've managed to somehow convince osamu to dress as a burner―red incandescent light and all.

"so i will," you smile sweetly, adjusting the foam handle of your outfit. the theme for the party is: onigiri miya, and truly, what is more essential to the shop than an electric burner and its pan?

from the side of the room, you think atsumu nearly chokes.

"it'll be cute," you step towards him, reaching for the black switch along his hip, "plus, you even light up!"

in an instant, he glows red, the spiral pattern along his chest lighting up like an electric burner heating up. atsumu snorts, erupting into a fit of laughter as he slaps his knee.

"shit," he wipes a tear while holding up his phone camera, "can't wait f'ma to see this."

osamu looks at him from the mirror, deadpan, "yeah, show'er ya shitty dye job too."

because atsumu doesn’t look any better at all, dressed as none other than osamu for halloween―black long sleeves with an apron, a pair of gloves and osamu's actual work pants. the cap on top of his head rests on temporarily dyed jet black hair, but he's done it in such a haste that his blonde roots are still showing.

you laugh, never quite getting used to their antics despite being a witness to it for years. halloween with the twins is always a memory you look back on fondly, and you don't think this year will be any different at all.

There are two ways to deal with pulsating light sources, magic frame rates, or magic shutter angles. If you pick a magic frame rate, you can use whatever shutter angle you want to get the motion blur and exposure you want. If you have to use a non-magic frame rate, you're stuck to pick one of the shutter angles that are "magic" for that frame rate.

Light sources that pulsate due to AC power produce light on both the positive and negative half cycles, so they pulsate at twice the power frequency, 100 Hz in the UK, 120 Hz here in the US. Your goal is to get the same amount of light in every frame.

 The first way to do that is to choose a frame rate that divides evenly into the pulse rate. That way each complete exposure and pulldown cycle of the camera corresponds to an integer number of light pulses. So, the shutter always opens at the same point in the light pulse cycle, and closes after admitting the same amount of light. That allows you to use any shutter angle you want. 24 works here, because 120 = 5 x 24. 25 works there, because 100 = 4 x 25.

For over or under cranking, the possibilities are:

120 = 1 x 120 = 2 x 60 = 3 x 40 = 4 x 30 = 5 x 24 = 6 x 20 = 7 x 17.143 = 8 x 15 = 9 x 13.333 = 10 x 12 .... = 20 x 6, etc.

If you can't use one of the magic frame rates, you're stuck with the more difficult approach. You have to find the shutter angles that, at the required frame rate, have the shutter open for an integer number of light pulses. Suppose you must use 25 fps with 120 light pulses per second. In that case, you want a shutter angle A such that

(1/25) x (A/360) = (N/120) where N is an integer. The possible N values are 1, 2 ,3, and 4, because at N = 5, the exposure becomes longer than the cycle time, so your shutter angle would have to be over 360 degrees. Working the math, we get:

A = 75 x N

So, the possible angles are 75, 150, 225, and 300. (The next one would be 375, but that's impossible.)

It should be clear that magic frame rates are the easy way, and 24 is plenty close enough to 25.

If you have some reasonable way of recording and monitoring what you shoot, you should be able to test and play back on the set to be sure if you have a problem. A great many light sources such as incandescents and modern flourescents don't follow the mains frequency, and work fine without any extra math or magic. I've seen problems with neon signs and advertising displays, though. Particularly, some of the LED chasers use their own frequencies, so you may have to experiment with them, or just get them off the set.

How long does marijuana take to grow from seed to harvest?

Grow times for cannabis plants vary widely, but on average, are about three-to-five months for indoor grows. However, there are many factors that could add or subtract from that range, including whether you choose to grow from a clone or a seedling, the target yield (how much consumable product) and the growing method, whether indoor, outdoor, greenhouse, hydroponic, coco, etc.

Before You Start Growing Weed (0-4 weeks) – Get seeds and supplies so you’re set to start growing!

Time Needed to Grow Weed, From Seedling to Harvest (8 weeks – 5+ months)

Germinate Your Seeds (1-7 days) – Learn about fail-proof methods to germinate perfectly in soil/coco or hydro.

Vegetative Stage (3 weeks – 8+ weeks) – In the vegetative stage, the cannabis plants are growing just stems and leaves. On average, most indoor growers vegetate their plants for 4-8 weeks. Seedlings are able to start flowering as early as 3 weeks from germination, but the resulting plants will be tiny. Most growers choose to let plants vegetate for longer because giving them more time to grow results in bigger plants, which tend to produce bigger yields as long as you have enough light to cover all the bud sites. That being said, you can still produce quite a bit of bud with a lot of small plants growing at once as long as you fill up your grow space.

Flowering Stage (5 weeks – 16+ weeks) – This is when plants start making buds. The length of the flowering stage depends heavily on the strain/genetics, with an average of about 8-12 weeks for most strains. Some strains are bred to have very short flowering stages (for example, most auto-flowering strains will naturally start flowering at around 3 weeks old and some are ready to harvest just 5 weeks later, for a total of only 8 weeks from seed!). Other strains can take months in the flowering stage before they’re ready to harvest. Typically, longer-flowering strains produce higher yields than short-flowering ones because the buds are exposed to more light-hours and have more time to fatten up, but that’s not always the case.

3. Post-Harvest (This is when the smell/taste/look you love shows up) (2-4+ weeks) –   After buds are harvested, they still need to be dried for about a week (sometimes a   bit less or more), then placed in glass jars to “cure” for at least 2 weeks. This   post-harvest processing dramatically improves the taste, smell and the   perceived potency of the buds. It also reduces the chance of buds causing   headaches or unpleasant “speedy” effects.

It is important to remember that you still need to dry, trim, manicure and cure your buds. The typical times are as follows:

Drying: 3-10 days

Trimming and Manicuring: 10 mins to 1 week ( this depends on the size and number of your plants )

Curing: 2 weeks to 2 plus months

A lot of growers cure their buds for 2 weeks to 1 month before smoking. This makes the smoke more flavorful, less harsh and less speedy, some people also say it makes the smoke more suitable for people with medical conditions as it helps with their symptoms more due to a higher CBD content as THC degrades to CBD during the curing process.

So now back to the original question - If I grow, how long does it take before I can smoke my weed?

The answer: 8 weeks to 8 + months with an average of 14 weeks to 18 weeks.

Now is the time to start growing your own plants and really enjoying the entire process from seed to smoke. As they say, it's not just the destination but also the journey.

Other factors: such as lease expiring, family vacation planned or having a property inspection. This is very dependent on your individual circumstance eg if your lease runs out in 4 months and you have to move at this stage it is best to have finished your grow. So you will want a short flowering strain and veges quickly so that you can cure properly before you leave or cure elsewhere if needed.

Prepare best equipment

The exact equipment you’ll need to grow weed indoors will vary depending on your skills as a grower and the size of your grow. Nonetheless, most indoor growers will need at least the following equipment, as well as pots, soil, and other basic grow accessories.

Grow light

Fan

marijuana grow tent

Air filter

Light reflectors

Small ventilator

Timer

pH meter

Buying this equipment and running it will obviously take a toll on your back pocket. However, most of the equipment you’ll need to buy for your grow is reusable, and you’ll usually make your money back after just a few harvests.

If you’ve decided to grow indoors, your grow lights for indoor plants will serve as the heart of your operation. There are a variety of different grow lights available to you, and you’ll want to know which to choose well before you start your grow.

Here are some of the most popular cannabis grow lights available to you:

Compact fluorescent lights (CFLs): These are inexpensive lights commonly used by first-time growers. CFLs lack the power of professional grow lights and usually produce smaller harvests.

Fluorescent Lighting (T5 / T8): T5 and T8 flourescent lights are more apt for growing cannabis. However, these lights usually give off lower light intensities than needed, meaning you’ll have to install them very close to the tops of your plants.

LED grow lights: LED lights are the most expensive option available to you. These lights can produce great results and may also help keep your power costs in check. However, they may not be feasible for smaller grows given their price.There are many type of led grow lights, I want to recommend quantum led grow light for you, which is nice for indoor room, what's more, if you are a experienced grower, you really know that full spectrum LED grow light is important for your plant growth stage!

Metal Halide (MH) and High Pressure Sodium (HPS): MH and HPS lights are relatively cheap and produce great results, making them one of the most popular options for indoors growers.

Final thoughts

The time of germination, growth and flowering of marijuana is relative; each variety follows a different tempo, even each strain, which is why it is impossible to determine or pre-establish a generic time for cannabis.
