Best to just write that one off... being upsidedown and all... and just send it to a fellow gardener as a sample if you ask me...... but WTF do I know?

Very nice work and documentation as always my Ausi chum!

ahhh there's no average nugs this time round even all the lower stuff looks great! all super frosty, a little behind, but to be expected. twas only upside down because of the weight hehe

Variety Night!!! multitude of camera settings....

Day 42 Flowering....Ok, flushing tonight onwards. Checking closely tonight, i'm seeing a few amber trichs appearing, well just starting to caramelize. She is transforming now into the skunk i know and trust.....But i seriously wasn't expecting this kind of quality!!! everything onwards is going to be a surprise to me, I'm glad she's putting out this dank as i have no clue what to expect in buzz! as my mentors wasn't that great. Too Hot Tent (T.H.T) new term for growers!!!
I'm getting spastically excited now, and i'm not to go out from here on

lookin crazy dank bro! awesome

Thanx Oriah!!! she's happening

What I'd expect to see on the Tree of Life from Avatar.

I hope to get close to this with my 432w T5 kit, BUT, am thinking I need a minimum of 600 watts to get this sticky. planning to side light for next go round

I like your thinking a little out of this world kinda maybe i've got alien weed hehe
good luck with your t5's thats alot of flouro wattage! but yes the 600's are hard to contend with as far as performance and value.

OK - put on your sunglasses or these frosty crystals might blind you:









Hehe - so lame!


The outdoor girls on the other hand have goo on their bulky stalks and smell like mint and basil!



I can't wait to try one your way If my results are half as spectacular as yours I will feel like a King!

That is what you are - FlowaKingsta!



Cheers,
Mo

i see resin Mo what mode you got that Camera on? I'm sure you can get them clear as crystal. You on Program mode? and make sure that little flower icon is activated. And make sure your ISO is low!! keep it around 80-100. 200 max for clear shots. and only play around with the exposure value, if you decrease it, less flash will be absorbed, and more colour will saturate the lens....at the moment what is happening is the flash is causing some glare because of your shutter speed (iso setting)
lower the ISO will automatically adjust the shutter and aperture in program mode. Flash On will help snap that clear shot as the flash enables you to only saturate enough colours for that split second as the shutter closes ( it's a perfect timing ting really ) And don't use too much Zoom, don't go more than 5-10% you lose optical ability after that, and you lose depth of field. There is a happy medium with this camera, and it's unfortunately quite a fine line for the ultimate shots, But for a cheap Cam once you get the hang of how the camera will focus, you can get some wild shots like me

ISO is your biggest clarity killer. keep it low. If it feels too low adjust the EV increase the EV (exposure value) this helps find that fine balance between not enough light, and JUST ENOUGH. If you allow too much light in, you get glare and lose focus, if you don't allow enough in, you get that 60's grainy retro look. Find that balance that allows clear foreground without grain the cam will want to focus through the buds, but with selective focus, you can force it to.

Looks like another crop of boxing glove sized colas...friggin' epic Flowie.

cheers Chippa unfortunately i only bought the 4 bag 220, 12, 73, 20 ive got good results a couple of times, this time being fairly average. As i said earlier in my journal my mentor uses a trimpro and i think it it useless when it comes to preserving trichs. But i got SOME hash, 4 grades, i did 2 runs using the 4 bags. The very first run with the 73 micron came up really shit by the looks with heaps of contaminants. i think due to my bags not being properly clean after doing dry ice hash with them. stupid me didnt check to wash them again. I mean they were clean, but not spotless. Anyway after the first 73 micron, the 20 micron came up nice and clean, just pure brown poop. smells great looks fairly pure, but again like Matt Rize says you gotta have good quality to get nice quality, and i'm definitely not using the best quality nor nugs! i have yet to do fresh nugs, that would be a different story i believe. The 3rd and 4th run, being next to crap in my books in terms of potency/quality. but it only cost me $4 for 2 bags of ice so all in all 1.5 hours work probably get maybe 4-5 grams of nice-ish 20 grade and same of average hash, and the rest, well i'll just give it to a mate in need. with a nug of course.
After i do my trim i will preserve every crystal and separate all my trim into size/leaves/tips. and freeze over night, and do a fresh run that next day. might aswell ey nuh, scratch! that i will dry ice the fresh trim ofcourse. best option. no loss, instant hash. Easy. and i've still got just over 1 lb of dry frozen trimmings from a mate....lots and lots of red hairs and tippy bits, he's a lazy, so i get gooooooood yield of hash from him and he doesn't smoke, so all for me me me

You've become a real artist with the camera. Great looking bud.

Hey Flowa, You have to love the lazy grower. I get most of my trim of a mate, who's last batch yielded me just 2 ounces of quality bud.(crazy man) He just stuffs it all in a box so it does take a while to sort through. The smallest micron in my set is 25, so i have to siphon my bucket out to collect the finest stuff. Never done the dry ice method before. My method for bubble is to use two 20lt buckets, the first bucket is fitted with a tap and contains the 220, 190, 160, 120 micron bags. Mixing is done, slow and gentle. Allowed to settle then drained of into my second bucket containing the 90, 73, 45, 25 bags. I then get mixing bucket ready for another run while allowing the second bucket to settle. It seems to work ok Will put some pics up of next batch. My tents are in weeks 4 and 5 of flowering, so getting there slowly!
