Hey brother, I am in a commonwealth illegal state, same as you. You in Ky as well? I also done the exact same sentence as you, 85% of my two years was served flat "Fedarali Time", I know how it feels to step into these forums with that kind of history always nagging at your anxiety. That 2 years was not my first rodeo, I had a time or two before that as well but nothing to bad.
I use my phone as well to upload photos. I wish I had a nice camera as well, but honestly I find it much simpler to upload from the phone rather than camera. Some phone cameras are actually amazing, even with macro zooms. I have a Galaxy S7 and my woman has an I phone 8. Both of our phones take much better photos than a lot of the cameras on the market. Even on the macro is pretty damn amazing. I can look at trichs and they show up well on my galaxy, as well as spider mites (which unfortunately I didn't wanna see but that problem is long gone now... took care of that)...
I always make sure my location is turned off. Then take the photos and go back into gallery and then take screenshots of the photos I want to upload. And when I upload the photos I always make sure I am logged in with a VPN, just for the added saftey and peace of mind.
I have tons of people telling me that is the least of LEO's worries and they won't be coming after anyone for growing marijuana. But if you are in an illegal state, why take the chance? Is the way I see it... I have a family and kids to lose and a great job in this business and I try and take every precaution necessary to hold on to that. There is really no "safe" plant count here period. Anything over 5 plants here is a felony and anything less a misdemeanor. The way I see it is if your gonna do it you might as well do it big. I let my paranoia get the best of me for years and then I realized that growing 6 or 8 plants will get me the same time as growing 99, and now I am growing over 600 plus plants per year total (most of this accounts for my guerilla season)...
Anyway, that is all just common knowledge. I hope you can get those pics up.. Just upload the best ya can amigo, this ain't a photo contest and we ain't gonna judge you for lack of mega pixels. I won't at least and I'm sure 98% of the rest of the guys on this forum won't either. If they do just tell them where to stick it and move on bro.
The photos I have been posting lately have been taken with a cheap ass $50.00 phone from Wal-Mart. My Galaxy S7 that I had for less than a month is fried... Getting a bit to deep in the dark net via orbot/orfox got me a virus that fried my mother board. That's no shit, please anyone that dabbles take necessary precautions as some of the best hackers in the entire universe, reside there and call it home.
But until I get that motherboard replaced I am stuck with this cheapo, but hey, it cuts the cake.
I will definitely have her fixed by flowering time so I can bring out the best of my girls... That's for sure!
Edit: Glad to hear your running the Full Moon Fever "Durban"... I have 4 about 2 inches tall as I speak, gonna veg them for 2 weeks prior to flower and maybe 3 weeks tops. I already have close to a full flower room and couldn't wait to pop my first run of GPS gear. So its gonna be a little tight but its something I am used to dealing with, I will make it work.
And you can't pass up the opportunity to put up some Jelly Pie my friend. I have 6 of those as well, in first week of veg. Did you pop a full pack and how many girls did you get if so? Can we get a smoke report?
. I really did...
