Week 10 update! Frost is starting to show, pics are starting to really sparkle! Nutrition seems to be on point, I can see some yellowing of the largest fan leaves happening, which is normal at this point as she starts to drain herself of all nutrients. As this continues maybe she’ll treat us to a colour change? One can hope! 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.
