Banana Kush Harvest Day 77
... Probly could have gone longer but it was taking it's sweet time, and rightfully so. Tastes and smells like Banana Runt's candy.

This is Blue Dream harvest Day 63. Got underwatered a bit :dunce: about weeks 3-4. Yielded great (in spite of) and quality was very nice but I know it could have been so much better. Finally getting the hang of living soil, I think...

This is the Snowcap harvest Day 77. Pretty hefty but still potent and very nice. Cotton candy meets spicy/fuel.

Here's a side-by-side between 600W of HPS (Left) and COB LED (Right). Same size container, same media, same feed, same environment, same length of life. Just different light sources. Apprx intensities (LED was slightly less PPFD and Less Watts) Can't tell from the pics but COB grown is way more dense (by touch).

I'm still waiting for these to get ready to harvest (60cm or 2 foot tall):
20160925_SN_BamboePheno_DSC1539.jpg 20161002_SN_RechtsVoor_Top_DSC1563.jpg

Same 400W (8x CXB3070 Cree COBs) fixture as before in the same 100x100cm tent. Plants are an Amnesia x Santa Maria cross (several different phenotypes).

Some faster flowering plants were already finished. Here's some more trichome bud porn from those:

I know it's just a leaf, but they look so pretty with trichomes on top and bottom:

Or even a bit closer:

Thanks. You can use lots of different brands, but I used:
- a dslr camera (Sony Alpha SLT A77 mark 2)
- macro lens (Sigma 180mm macro)
- extension tubes for extra magnification
- a stand to keep the camera steady
- remote control or time release on the camera to stop camera shake from pressing the shutter
- panoramic slide rail to make moving the camera back and forth easier
- two softbox flashes
- Z-stacking software to combine multiple photos with different focal points into one
- a ton of patience :)

Yeah, those two big flashes really help. The COB led light seems really bright, but is not enough for this magnification.

Also, the Z-stacking helps a lot. Those calyx pictures can consist of up to 20 separate photo's combined into one image to show one calyx entirely in focus. Although in these cases I used around 10 to leave a bit of the image "soft".
