Hi guys,
here's a quick update on the Orange Sherbet from FastBuds. I've transplanted all seedlings in rockwool into one instead of two 70L reservoirs because I'm short on space at this moment which should be resolved in a couple of days. Right now it's kind of wild and I can't operate at the level I'd wish. I've added a bit of CalMag and Grow Powder from Green House Feeding. Just a tiny bit. Let's see how it works out.
See ya!
XOXO

Hey there!
Thanks so much for running a diary for our genetics. Let me know if you need any assistance, we would more than happy to help
Happy Growing 🙌
@fast_buds_jessie, thank you Jessie. I'll run 5 of your strains this season, 4 testers + Orange Sherbet, so you'd make me really happy if you could DM me the list of released and tester strain names, so I'd be able to know what I'm actually growing :D It would mean a world to me :)
Love having artists like you on the site. Not only are you a talented grower, but your photographic abilities truly capture the tremendous beauty of this plant species. Mesmerizing shots -- Thanks for sharing w/ the GD community! 🙏 😁
@TCH0808, that's great that I could help you with taking shots. I know it all sounds more simple than actually shooting the photographs but if you give yourself enough time you should be able to produce some cool pics. Unfortunately shooting is just one part of the equation and you usually have to develop them after the shoot with your phone app or something more sophisticated like lightroom or camera raw from Adobe :)
@Cremo, Perfect! Thank you for such a thorough run-down -- Really, big help 😁 Chopping and photographing soon! We'll see what I come up w/. Thanks, Cremo 🙏
@TCH0808, hi there buddy. It doesn't matter what kind of equipment you use to photograph your plants or anything for that matter. The most important thing is lighting and composition in my opinion. I'm super limited with my photography because most of my plants are in 70L hydro tanks which makes it unable to take them out of the flowering room to take shots on a black background. But if you work with pots then just place a black sheet in the background or any other color for that matter (maybe besides the color of you plant), place your plant half a meter to a meter in front of the background and place a light source on top and a bit to the front of the plant so that all the leaves and buds are exposed. Remember not to put your plants to close to the background because your light will also expose that colored sheet and it will be a lot more visible. If you don't have any lights than take your old cellphone with a flashlight and put your phone that you'll take pics with on a tripod to make it steady and take shots with longer exposure so the plant will be well lit with that little light from a cellphone LED. Remember also not to touch your plants for at least 30 seconds to a minute before you start shooting so the plants' branches are all standing still ;) Hope this helps a bit.
XOXO

@LegacyMarketFarm, thank you. I really appreciate it. I shoot mainly with a Sony a7RIII with a Sigma art lens 24-70mm and for macro shots I use an old Tamron 90mm. Love to take trichome shots. :D It was so heavily covered in trichomes, the whole plant smelled super tasty :D
