I use my Canon camcorder to take the close up shots because my main camera only has lenses for portraits and such.
I then zoom in (in post) with Photoshop and tweak the color range a bit so you can see the bumps more clearly.

Nice to see you back Kulang,
and loving the pictures peeps!
One question though, looks like round 1 will over lap round 2, can everyone afford this? as in space etc?

Arrrr,,, there's another stumbling block that I thought about early on but never saw it come up.
I (now) feel it was assumed the winner had to be a lady,,, but it was never set in any rule.
Initially, i was planning on treating my entry as though it was the last seed on earth and was going to try and hermie one branch and produce seed on just one other branch to keep the strain going in my theoretical limited world. Obviously, it didn't happen, so the issue never came up. Almost did though when I think MrBoots had a male and self - scratched his entry saving the potential issue from arising.
Then again,, I joined this match thinking it was something totally different than what it turned out to be. (definately my mistake - so, I didn't say anything
)

what about super auto's they have Ruderalis in with the mix, but 100-120 days seed to bud seams a bit long for normal autos to be waiting?, could do a double harvest in that time! lol

Ie; Rule 3 - "One plant per person." Does not say One female plant per person.
Also had many, many other misundertandings of what this was about. Simply decided to go with the flow and not stir the pot (pun intended -
).Note; This may be close to borderline "off-topic". Think I'll simply leave it at that.

Zen, let me give you some adivce before it's too late. Don't seed all of those plants! and don't let pollen blow all over your box! You will never be able to get it all out when you do future grows. My advice is to take that male out and put it somewhere else in your house and collect some pollen from it and pollenate one or two of your females. That will give you plenty of seeds and give you a good harvest of seedless bud as well. There is a sticky in the breeder's paradise sub-fourum called "seed production a tutorial" I followed that to breed my autos that I'm growing now. I put my male in my garage for about a week under a 23watt cfl clamp light, just to keep it alive and collect pollen as the male flowers ripened. After I had enough pollen, I killed the male, pollenated one select female, left that under the little light for a few days to make sure it took then put it back in the grow cabinet with the other non seeded plants. I now have a jar full of pollen for future use, one plant loaded with seeds for future grows and 4 non seeded plants that are way bigger than the seeded one. In the picture, all of those plants are the exact same age. Can you pick out the seeded one? That middle plant probably has well over 100 seeds in it, but once i get all of them out the bud will be almost worthless. You want something to smoke from this grow right? Your plants look great btw.Yes i will be breeding it with itselfshould get a gooood amount of seed considering the male is in front of the fan and its all sealed off pollen should be EVERYWHERE!
I had this happen to me this round. My supposedly feminized roadrunner turned out male. I pulled it out of the contest because I made it very clear that this was my entry and I wouldn't change it. However, I'm going to grow my next contestant from regular seeds and I would be open to being able to switch if one turns out to be male. But thats for everyone else to decide. I'm not the Dana White of the autoflower cage, just a fighter.
Yeah, that doesn't make much sense to do indoors. Outside it does because you could get a harvest in the middle of the summer instead of the fall. But you could grow out a full sativa indoors in that amount of time.
Everybody's plants look great. It's going to be hard to pick a winner.

HELP! 
Here I am again with the same problem. Out of room.
Fist AF for me, so asking for input.
Roadrunner, coming up to 6 weeks on the growth. Breeder mentions around 10 weeks to finish (I'd add 1-2 to that).
So I'm expecting maybe 4 more weeks to go.
ANYONE have any idea how much more heigth this girl is going to demand????
Grow has slowed, but still going a pretty good clip.
If I could read my crystal ball I'd know if I should lst some more or leave it alone. Right now I'm clueless.
I could wait,, but nervouse about doing too much as I get further into finish.
Any clues as to what I may expect would be appreciated.
I'm already setting on the bottom and partially blocking my vents.
I'm guessing the buds will grow in heigth?
