Yea that's a good idea and I do plan on getting either a microscope or a mag lens at some point before harvest so I can keep an eye on the trichromes.
It may or may not help with getting close-ups just because of the quality of the camera to begin with but I'll see what I can do. Unfortunately I won't be able to get nice overall shots of the entire plant until I'm ready to harvest because they are pretty much confined to the dresser. So the result is all my shots being blocked by either a CFL or some other obstacle.
The buds look delicious to say the least and there are three different aromas that the plant gives off which is interesting. Smelling the air coming from the exhaust gives off a sweet honey scent with a fruity aftertaste while sniffing directly into the bud sites adds a very alluring pine tree scent to the mixture. The aroma is very strong and I have a very confident belief that this crop will be nice and potent. The formation seems to be very elongated buds with a nice girth to them and a very sticky texture. Lots of lime green and dark green colors within the bud sites.
I'm predicting that these girls will be done within 3-4 weeks if everything stays on track. Using the knowledge that I've gained from this website as well as all of my research and witnessing previous grows similar to mine I am strongly convinced that I will hit a quarter pound yield with these two girls combined if they keep up this good work. I will be here updating every step of the way in hopes that when harvest day comes I will be able to honor that yield for all to see. I really support CFL grows to the fullest and hopefully someone who was originally turned off to growing due to cost, heat, and space limits will find inspiration to start their own grow.
Thank you to everyone at Greenpassion for all the information and advice as well as the motivation to take on this challenge. This is why the internet is such a great thing because it allows us to reach out and get help with anything and everything under the sun. Two months ago I didn't know ANYTHING about growing and sure as hell didn't have the confidence to successfully make it this far into the life cycle. But with a site like this with such a strong community I was able to learn everything I need to know in order to get a plant through it's life on top of special techniques and tricks along the way in such a short amount of time. Now I find myself helping others to continue this endless cycle of knowledge. That's the beauty of it, once someone on here learns enough they become a mentor to someone who was in our position before us and it keeps the knowledge circulating until anyone in the world can pick up this info and learn to grow in no time.
Thanks guys...and to those who I bored the hell out of with my plethora of pictures and blabbering I apologize. Passion sparks interest ;)
