Fry I have one of those scopes there a bitch to use real hard to focus especially if you try to look at somthing on the plant. Take a good close up picture than just view it on your pc you can zoom in so close you can see any thing you need...Whooh just getting a good bit of hail and heavy rain again.. After my girlfriend gets out of work were gonna head down to the ocean and check out this 20' swell and sit out and get toasted..

Actually it's my neighbor that is getting the scope, but I've been wonderig about the camera, that's exactly how I saw the first trichs. But I seem to be having trouble taking pics worth a damn. Gotta work at it I guess.

Don't worry the bud will get bigger before the trichs turn. Still fun to watch how many mushroom tops compared to pointy tops you have!

A few camera pointers, most digital camera's have a macro (flower/bud) setting on them. Set it to the macro then stick the camera about anywhere from 1-3cm to a few inches. I know with my camera it shows a distance on the screen of how close the lens needs to be to the subject, and the more I zoom the farther back the camera needs to be, less zoom the closer the camera is. Hope it helps.

Okay, I am looking at the trichs already, they are all clear as near as I can tell, I've got a microscope coming soon. But using my loupe I can clearly see the trichs, they are looking very well developed, just waiting for a little color, but hopefully not until the buds get real big and fat!

the loupe has the advantage of allowing you to look at the trichs on the plant, but when you get that microscope, you will have to take a sample of a leaf tip, just snip off a half inch tip of a trim leaf, use some tweezers, lay it on a dinner plate and look at it sitting at the kitchen table.

Got it, I remember you saying that someplace before.

I'm really looking forward to getting that scope and see them real close myself. I've seen plenty of pictures and can get a pretty good look with my loupe, but the scope will be just that much better!

Thanks, I've been using the macro setting but maybe I haven't been getting close enough, I mean I've never taken a shot closer than about 9". But a big problem is the lighting, I've got to get a better source, I've been turning the hps off but then I don't have any very good lighting close.

I'll work on it over the next few days. I want to get some good pics for possibly the plant of the month!

Thanks man, but don't be afraid to stop by and say hi, we have some pretty interesting discussions here at times!

I was going to take some pics this morning but by the time I got to it the light had gone off, tomorrow!

Sorry to hear about the spider mites, I haven't had the pleasure of that experience yet.

I just finished a res change on my second grow, clones from my first batch. They had a bit of a rough start, I didn't have a light to put them under so they just idled in the res for a week. But last Friday I got my shit together and got the light finished, look back in my thread here, I've got pictures of that build.

And they are loving it! I'll get some pics of those up soon too, but right now I've poured myself a glass of wine and it's time to begin the complete relaxation of the weekend! A couple of glasses of wine, a bowl of that OG Kush I picked up the other day and before you know it you won't be able to understand my posts any more! And The Weed will be worrying about me again!

So, time for that wine, now where the hell did I set that glass, and I haven't even lit up yet today!

You want to hear something funny? Well, I have proof Denver is still a cowtown. As I'm writing this I'm listening to the auctioning of the Grand Champion pig at this years National Western Stock Show! It just went for $12,500, down from last year's $16,000. The damn economy hits everyone.

Social, It's a drag even when you can go to a dispensary. Just got back myself it's about 100 miles round trip and I picked up 1/8 of OG Kush 65.,1/8 of White Widow 65. and got an 1/8 of shake 40. And they give me a 10%discount cause I'm a vet !! I really need to get my grow finished soon! It's too easy to spend money when good weed is so available.Once I start getting my own home grown I'll feel much better.. I've got a horrible sleeping problem, but a couple bowls of OG and it's lights out !! That shit works !!

New Grow, clones from first grow!

Okay, I've been putting this off, probably because I was so embarrassed at how I handled the clones my neighbor did for me. Well, I let them sit in the res for a week before I completed my light, described earlier. Last Friday, 1/15, I had the light fixture finished and hung it over the clones.

This first group of pictures comes from about 3 hours after placing the clones under the light. They had already begun to respond, they loved the light.

Please read on, the story gets better!
