WINTER IS COMING!
Looking at the frost on all the plants, winter is definitely coming XD
Welcome to another update of this grow season. We are slowly nearing the end. The plants stopped its flowering stretch a few weeks ago (besides Hadouken aka Amnesia Zkittlez which grew to whooping 70cm!).
The plants are happy and are fattening up. The trichome production on all plants is insane! I can clearly define which strains are going to be harvest ready at first and Orange Sherbet is probably the first that'll be chopped down.
When I open the tent, I get blasted with a massive burst of fruity notes. The smell is insanely delicious! I just want to chop it down already and give'em a good cure because I can't wait until they're done :D
Looking at the trichomes of Orange Sherbet, it'll be ready in around 2 to 3 weeks. It's definitely on the smaller size, I believe that I'll probably harvest around 30-40g of dry flowers off of her.
But anyways. Check out the macro shot for yourself.

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
