Hey y’all, Flywalka here with the week 4 flower update, things are coming along nicely with this beautiful slurricane. To describe her growth so far, I’d say she’s been an enjoyable grow. Shes taken to the Gaia Green dry nutrients well throughout her life, At this point she is still full green and luscious. I’ve noted some of the lower the leaves have lightened in colour slightly, nothing alarming - still green. I’ll wait another week to see what happens and depending on what I see I may add another round of my amended soil mixture, to ensure she is happy right through to the end of cycle. She has started to resinate nicely now, some of the tops have quite a large amount of trichromes already forming - hopefully this pheno turns out to be a real glittery princess 👑
Happy Growing Y’all! 💪🏻🔥☀️🚀
Wow beautiful. I am new here. Previously a profesh-photographer. Curious what you used to take your trichome photographs. I have this cheap microscope I picked up but not impressed. I would love to have the clarity you have in these photos. If you don't mind? Those images are wonderful as are all the others too. You have the hang of it I'd say. LOL.
@Aromagurl, I’m happy to offer some suggestions that were helpful to me when using the microscope. First, I find it best to get the microscope in a position that is comfortable to hold and visualize its movements. Next tip I’d offer is that you can cut off a few small leaf tips and place them under the microscope, this way you can really zoom in and focus on the trichomes. Lastly is I always use extra light above and beyond the little led’s inside the microscope, I find the excess light really helps make the images pop. Good luck, hopefully the tips are helpful!
@Flywalka, I would really appreciate any advice that you have yes and THANK YOU. This is just a media I am not familiar with and feel so out of my element when working so "close-up". LOL. Fire away! haha.
@Aromagurl, I was able to have a look at the microscope that you shared and to be honest, it’s very similar to the model I am using. I am more than happy to offer some suggestions for capturing images with the microscope that will help improve quality, if that’s something your interested in?
@cheekiestsauce, hey! Sorry for the super late reply, I haven’t checked my diary in forever. To answer your question, in this specific grow I used a FF ocean forest as the base soil cut with roughly 30% worm castings and 20% perlite.
