Something Bodhi hits the towel tomorrow. Decision will be impulse driven of course. Thunder Wookie may be chopped and 1 ASS(Appalachian Super Skunk) two weeks in just making buds.

Thunder Wookie still smells like cow shit. Some fueliness that burns the nose. Maybe that astringent value from Skunk the animal or pig shit. Having said that I just want to smell it again and again.

Beautiful work! I love sunshine daydream what's the smell on that one?
TY! I've been trying my best to get this new batch of soil dialed in. Most of my plants look hungry as hell at chop. This cut smells like berries with touch of butter but it seems to cure down to a powdered nesquik strawberry milk smell. Its one of my favorites to smoke out of Raw cones. I have another SSDD that leans to a buttery dankness. Its a bit stronger in the pain relief debt but I doubt its "the" butter cut because I can still smell berries a bit. Both are great.

You gotta pick two and the freebies. Makes it three times harder :wall:
Then you try to pick the freebies but cant decide between 2 so you back and try pick 2 more Bodhi, yet you struggle again and end up wanting 3. Combined your original picks and now you're up to five but need one more to get yet another freebie. Finally, you throw your arms up - come to RIU to inquire about the strains and before you know it you've added yet another one. A grower could go bankrupt hangin in this thread. :P

I've been eyeing TW and my Appalachian Super Skunks are pungent! I just finished shutting down my grow and I put all my Appy SS in there this morning. I brushed up against a few and just lightly disturbed them. It smelled like a mix of skunk piss and body odor. Phewww. I dont know if its the organic soil or what but I may have to consider some serious odor control with these.

Thanks @MoonTang420 @littlegiant :) Very nice of you to say. I use my phone's camera - it's an LG G3, few years old now.

Much like pheno hunting, I take a few photos and pick the keepers. Sometimes they're a little overexposed, like this one, but still look OK.

I don't apply any filters, method 7 or other lenses, post-processing, or color correction. You see what the phone camera sees - I only resize or crop.

There are two tips that help the new plant photographer:

1. Get your subject in focus - this might require cleaning the lens before shooting. Focus is what makes your photos and videos POP - who likes to watch 5 minutes of video where the operator struggles to get focus and you never see the money shots in their full glory? Same thing goes for pictures.

If your camera can't focus close up, pull back away from the subject until it comes into focus. Phones are fairly easy, because the software is so quick to adjust when you tap a new part of the screen to focus on. Make sure to turn off your fans so the plants aren't moving around a bunch, too.

2. Frame your subject in an unique way. Use the rule of thirds: If you divide the picture into thirds from top to bottom, and side to side, try to fit interesting things in the corners or the outside thirds. Don't always put everything right down the middle - this encourages your audience to look around the picture and notice more nuances. Sometimes this is good, sometimes bad - you'll know when you have a quality photo. :)

Lastly, filesize. Smaller filesize pics don't lose much detail, but are much faster to load. I use a drag and drop program called PhotoResize that I've attached. Extract it from the zip file, rename the numerical portion of the file name to match the width you want your pics to be (1920 is approximately 1080p size, so that's a good one for most things - 1600 is also good). In a folder, drag your full size pics onto this EXE, and it will resize them in a DOS window (copying the resized pics with the suffix "-1920" into the same folder), AND it removes all metadata tags.

Hope that helps someone. Enjoy! :)

Those pics do look fantastic! I would never have guessed those were done with a phone.

I've been struggling with the macro settings on my camera. I'm thinking about ordering a new Nikon that has some decent macro lenses. I love love love looking at trichome close ups. Doobey Duck does some amazing work with macro lenses. I have an enlarged pic of his Casey Jones work framed on the wall. Everyone comments on its beauty but few "know" what those beautiful pink/purple/blue little mushroom looking stalks are, lol.

That last info about file size is very helpful. Thank you for posting that. :clap:

Shocked those came from a phone camera, kudos sir. Plus super quality advice in your post. Thanks for sharing.

this is the dilemma i consistently face, first world problems i suppose combined with greed & not missing out on exclusivity...

any specific reasons you care to mention?
Vigorous growth. Great sativa high. Very unique in my opinion. I prefer to take it 9-10 weeks but it's good for some at 8 wks.

Great daytime smoke. If you've ever seen a good Kung fu movie, you might remember the scenes where they meditate and end up in an cloudy Astral realm.

Makes me feel like that. Like I'm meditating in the fog on top of a mountain at sunrise. Smells wonderful. Tastes great. It's a regular in my garden which tends to be indica dominant.

Popped a full pack 2 males / 10 females. My keeper of each is essentially the same pheno. The male bred wonderfully to my boysenberry hp. Running the pollen again this round to see what happens.

Also, I liked it so much bought a second pack to save for future bxs.

Back left corner. That's about 40" from soil. In a 30 gal SIP.
