Holy frickin' shit!
This is probably the frostiest week so far! God damn, all the plants are looking AMAZING!!!! I really encourage you to take a deep dive into the galleries of this season!
Half of the plants are looking good for a chop, which means I'll harvest them in a few days! Looking at the trichomes, they are practically perfect for my taste.
It's such a shame you guys can't see the full 42mpx version of these trichomes, they are looking like out of this world!
The Viparspectra lights did an outstanding job this run! I highly recommend you try them out. It's not a coincidence that the plants are so frosty. Quality light is very important for good results, just like the perfect growing conditions. It's a no-brainer to me after trying them out. I've used 3 Viparspectra P2000 (3x200W) for this season, and the plant speak for itself. I'm in love the lights and the beautifully developed plants!
The smell out of the tent is super sweet, the harvest ready plants are looking damn fine. I ran into a slight issue which I'm in the middle of solving but it seems not to be of a big of a deal.
Now go check out the gallery and all the other updates I'm about to make in the coming few minutes!

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
