I actually prefer lights on the 2nd run and beyond, the first run they always seem to burn the plants if you try to base off PPFD over leaf apperance, can run Same power next run and be much healthy plants, I think the diodes need burn in time to mellow out

Just my experience swapping lights all the time lol

Most pics are the iPhone 11 lol, trich chits are a handheld Wi-Fi microscope 50-500x (only need up to about 100x max lol) most shots are probably 60-70% magnification

Those are handheld if you use the mount you can get much better pics I’m holding a bud with my pinky, the camera with my thumb and forefinger, middle finger on the zoom to focus and ring finger to keep it straight

Other hand has my phone I watch and then hit take picture on lol

It’s on sale for 28.99 actually lol

I’ve had mine about 3 years now

On top of the ability to get up to 500x it also has a 1x 2x 3x magnifier lol

Way overkill don’t use any of that, just the base focus at 50x to 75x

Most of the time just my phone is what I use, I found my iPhone goes up to 5x but it gets blurry in extreme closeups l, but if you back it down to 4.7x and really take a second to focus in you can get some great closeups

You a Diablo fan? Looks like Diablo from the screen, is why I'm asking.

getting ready to flip this weekend. The two feminized Deathstar x Dante’s Inferno are on the smaller side. This soil is on the rich side I believe. Everything is dark green and just absolutely raging right now.

Love how quick they blow up in big beds, once their roots start spreading into the abyss they realize the sky is free game haha

My 30’s were like that they sit for a week then just explode lol

Hoping to replicate that haha

I can’t wait, damn near chop probably Tuesday / Wednesday which will put them at about 10.5 weeks

Little progress drop for y’all

Lookin tasty up in these tents

4x8 at 10 weeks
4x4 at 7 weeks
3x3 at 5 weeks
2x4 holding the new Frostette 6 mother and kahuna 3 mother with the A&B x Okie 1&2 and Project 4516 x okie

Not sure who will hit the 30’s night throw one in each and see what happens but still time to decide, gotta make it through dry and while they are drying I’ll top dress, let that chill for the 1.5-2week dry then throw in cover crop, let that come up then get ready to plant, figure that’ll give the pots a month of downtime, gotta figure out how to maintain moisture levels while not running a plant but I’m sure I’ll figure it out haha

And since we’re here… how about a bit of outdoor garden. All organic, only amendments to the soil last years maple leaves, TRUE organics tomato and vegetable, lamberts 100% peat moss. That’s it folks, didn’t even water anything in, dug, amended, planted, strung up, walked away lol

Raspberries are doing great in the plot as well as the 2x 130 gallon boxes, last 2 pics are of my bareroot NanKing Cherry bushes breaking dormancy and starting to leaf out, she was the only 1 of 4 that had no leaves so super happy to see her starting to show, raspberry flowers are forming, and blueberries are beginning to show as well

Spring is in the air folks!
