Just like plants require water to grow, those thoughts that are nurtured with our attention grow as well. 🌱 Be careful which thoughts you give attention to because just like well-watered plants (or weeds!) what gets our focus is what tends to grow (and possibly take over!) whether we want it to or not. 🌱 Just like we weed our gardens to allow plenty of room for our flowers to bloom and our plants to establish healthy roots, it is helpful to weed out our minds. It’s a great personal development exercise to consciously pull out those invasive idea species that have somehow managed to take up too much space in our head gardens. Toss those weeded thoughts into the mental compost bin so new healthy ideas and thoughts will ultimately have all the ingredients necessary to flourish. Don’t hesitate to throw in some fresh manure so you’re less likely to rush back and revisit them! ;-) PS: Me...posing as a rooftop gardener with the weeds in the gutter ;-) 🌱 🏢 #perspective #perception #stressmanagement #CIE #cognitiveinfluenceeffect

When butterflies drink their tears, turtles don’t mind. It's a different story with bees, though. Want to know why? In certain regions where butterflies live, salt is scarce. But they need salt for their metabolism and egg production. Enter the turtles… Turtles would sit in the sun with their heads held high, warming their bodies. Some species can’t even retract their heads. Turtles also don’t metabolize salt well, so their tears are extra salty. Butterflies would then descend onto the turtles and gently drink the liquid in the turtles’ eyes. This kind of behavior in nature is called commensalism. Although the butterflies benefit from the turtles, the turtles don’t get anything from this, but they don’t mind the butterflies. Bees also need salt and try to get it from the turtles’ tears. But the turtles don’t like it when the bees try to do it. When I told my husband about this behavior, he immediately said, “It’s because bees are lousy fliers. They probably crash-land into the turtles’ eyes. And they make a lot of noise, too, buzzing around.” Here’s the Dragon Whisperer’s take on this remarkable fact about nature. Some people are easy to serve. They are as delicate and delightful as butterflies, and you don’t mind being generous with them at all. Others are intrusive and loud. Don’t be like a bee. Be like a butterfly.

Plants require air, food, and water to survive - a lesson we all learn in school 🏫 🎒. But the amount needed varies from plant 🌵 to plant ☘️. What else helps plants bloom and produce flowers 🌺? Factors like suitable temperature 🌡️, sunlight 🌞 exposure, and optimal soil fertilization play a key role. Different plants 🌵 thrive under specific set of conditions. Similarly, as humans 👫, we need more than just basic necessities to flourish. Each of us has a unique recipe of desires ❤️, aspirations 🎯, strengths 💪🏻, and weaknesses 🫠. Have you discovered your personal recipe 📃 for growth? Share your thoughts below👇🏻 #Plants #Growth #desire #aspiration #needs #bloom #thrive #blossom #PersonalDevelopment 🌱

Here’s a fresh Junky 99 strain review. “I will be growing this again, immediately. High yield. Two plants in a 2x4 tent and got almost 11oz. Huge swollen tops, you should rename it Chunky99!” -Alex D -Germination Rates: 9 of 9 -Germination Style: Seeds sowed in peat cubs -Where did you grow your plants? Grow Tent -Expressed Gender: I had 100% female -How long were you in seedling and VEG phase altogether? 9 weeks -How many weeks were you under 12/12 lighting? (FLOWER PHASE) 9 -What light model(s) did you use? S23 -What medium did you grow in? Coco/perilite 80/20 -Did you top, supercrop, or otherwise provide any other stress-events during the VEG phase? Topped 2x

The remarkable growth of the wild chili plants serves as a proof to the power of our words. In our experiment, we are watering these plants using water that has been talked with three distinct energies; love, hate and neutral. These are the results as of week 3 to week 7 and it is astonishing as the plants that received water infused with love exhibit more green leaves and robust stems. Those watered with the hate water showed signs of stunted growth and some wilting leaves, highlighting the detrimental impact of negative energy. The plant given neutral water displays average growth. This experiment illustrates how the energy and intentions we convey can profoundly impact the world around us, even down to the growth of a chili plant. We'll post another update next week. #CreativeThinkingPower #PositiveMindPower #PowerofPositivity #PositiveThinkingDocumentary

The 5 Types of Fish You Should Never Eat If You Want To Live Longer.

Not sure if anyone else has noticed; but these smelly guys are making a comeback! 1. Stink bugs are an invasive insect that didn’t develop in the US naturally. They’re originally native to Southeast Asia. They were first discovered in the US in Allenstown, Pennsylvania in 1998, after stowing away inside a fruit crate. 2. Stink bugs produce a powerful scent that smells like rotting vegetables, coriander, or cilantro. 3. Stink bugs communicate with each other by moving their abdomens in a specific way to vibrate plants beneath them. They actually tend to seek out plants (like beans) that transmit their vibrations particularly effectively. 4. Stink bugs don’t have mouths, they have sucking “mouthparts” that they use to extract sap and juice from plant material. They don’t have conventional “mouths” and cannot bite or chew food. These sucking mouthparts are capable of piercing plants, but aren’t strong enough to hurt people. 5. The smelly liquid stink bug’s secrete contains pheromones that attract other stink bugs. During fall, stink bugs secrete this pheromone when they find a good, warm place to congregate. The more stink bugs gather together, the more stink they can make. The more stink they make, the more stink bugs show up. They're coming! Let Landlock help you prepare and stay stink free by calling us at 1-877-228-2847.
