Diablo OG In Dual Monster Plant System

[4tatude]

listening to you guys makes me glad to be the old dude lol, i grew up in a place and time where you went to prison for posesion, no question about it. im state compliant but would proly shit if the cops knocked on my door. my old lady laughs at me when a pig pulls up behind me, i get nervous even if im not doing anything. i know they usually are cool, but ive the scars to prove it wasnt always that way. the physical wounds heal, the mental ones im not so sure about. its been decades since ive been in any trouble. glad i made it through those rough years...

Hear, hear. Very heartfelt. I dig it.

So for tonight's lecture, I would like to begin with trichome development. Note how the full ooze of maturity is starting to manifest on this lower mid-sized nug.

I think this photo might give us a clearer indication as to where the buds may be in terms of maturity. Chime in on this one, y'all.

And so to round it out, here are the usual varied angle shots to show their progress. Enjoy.

The weaker plant below. She's looking a little better as time goes by. I'll probably use buds from her for any swap I do. Lol!

So that does it for tonight. Note how the hairs are turning brown and it looks like they're 'disappearing' into the swollen glands and all you see is solid, sugar-coated bud meat with little brown tips. They're starting to take on that finished look alright.

OG's are notorious for slow finishes. The label says 9-10 weeks. I see more clear ones than I was expecting at this point, so it still looks like a ways.

Thanks for watching.

How much longer do you think Lordjin? I checked my trichs on a lower bud today, and i found 20-30% amber trichs! wtf. So I did what you did and chopped it, check it again with the microscope, smelled my fingers, got hypnotized from the OG smell, thought about you cheating, and put it in my bong and smoked it! It tasted like sweet grass, but smelled like sticky icky exhaled bud smoke. I got soooo high man! I wonder if I got high of my nutes, lol.

Whoa. Are you serious? I don't see any ambers yet on mine. Amazing. Could it have something to do with LED?

Yes, absolutely. I got high on nutes too. It tastes really bad, but gets you mega high, doesn't it?

Ya it was pretty good considerating it wasnt flushed and on day 48. I think the LEDs have to be making them amber! What do you think I should do? I was thinking there would be major weight being put on day 50s... Maybe chop day 55? or Just wait till 60.. we'll see

 

[323cheezy]

mine look done already...lots of amber....
Not much new growth..
But im trying to wait till day 54.....(8weeks)
Seeing as im on day 52 .....
It looks like you could go another week or two ..
Depending on how you like your bud....

Oh, you're so lucky. Post some pictures here if you want.

Patience, young Grasshopper. That fancy light of yours is something else. Just let 'em do their thing. I can tell by your much improved photos that they're just hitting their stride.

Okay, so as a photographer I feel it's my duty to try different things to get you a more varied look at my buds. Here I have partially shielded the compact flash built into the camera unit with my hand for a more subtle blend of flash and hps light. Looks pretty cool, huh?

This is a closer look at the strongest cola. Just look at her go.

The lower branches are swelling up too.

A bit of a closer look at this beauty never hurts.

Check out that towering column looming in the shadows... Huge and smelly.

Another under angle shot to show the crystal stacking.

I feel like I'm lost in Donkey Dick Forest and I never want to be found.

Trich development looks more precise and controlled than Platinum OGK.

This fat and still clear? Oh, boy...

 

[323cheezy]

im thinking i need a new camera ... my close ups cme out kinda blurry....
Need some hd.im working with sd...but its good as you go furthr backs n all...
I see allot of new growth on your buds still...some white hairs still shouting out...
Looking really great tho.... u got some major bud sites ....

I have very little new growth on my louie n chem .... and the sk is yellowing but putting out the most new growth...

Dude, don't erase, em. They're getting me high looking at them. Especially the Larry.

Edit:
Your bud structure definitely looks more classic OG than mine. Those fat squat marble chunk nugs look ripe for harvest. Your plants are the kinda' shit most often seen in magazines and posters and stuff. It's not your grow skill that comes into question here, but your photography skills... Lol! I bet if I had a little photo session with your girls, it would tell a lot more about your plants there.

 

[323cheezy]

My photography skills are ill son...
Like i said its the camera.....
Figured a 8.0mpixes would pull som clear shots...
but not as good as i anticipated.....

Ill tell u that sometimes camera work can make a plant look better than it looks to the naked eye....
Or make it look worse....
In some cases its worse, but larry i can asure you looks better in those pics ...at least bigger.....
But the camera doesnt show the sheer beauty of louie....
(takin last week)

no justice....
But these close ups hd from my friend took of my last harvest ....were dope
blue larry (larry og x blue dream)




this time was a perfect run ..no pm .. no mites..no crispy leaves ...very low nutes..


Those were some pics of my last harvest ....that had some problems...(pm)
I had purchased clones with pm on them.... and it took its toal.....
However my friend came out with his hd cam.... and after a supper sharp trim session i was able to separate the pm on the leaves ...
And the buds was smokable..... the skywalker being the only really badly infected one.....
heres how a cam makes bud look better than it is ....
Dont get me wrong.... my buds looked amazing last run..... but the cam really helps...

One more larry for ya .....

Peace brah...
Man id love to see how some lou would grow in your setup....hes ove 4ft tall....dont know if he would fit.....

Damn Jin. Look at those calyxes. Does that thing want to foxtail or what?

And loving your new avatar. Caaaaakes. You're a photographer? Didn't know if that was just a hobby or something. I have been doing freelance photo and film for a bit now In the middle of obtaining my bachelors in Digital Film and Video at the Art Institute right now. We should have a photo-off some day I definitely have some really nice stuff archived. I can tell you do more stock/model photography, but I'm sure you enjoy a little street level/abstract photo. Werner Bischof and Henri Cartier-Bresson are two of the greats who I attempt to emulate. Working with a 60D right now and a few lenses (50mm 1.4, 18-135mm, 80-200mm) - I need a macro lens, BAAAD! So do you ;-P With weed that like. Sigma makes some nice ones, and think I might have to order one up.

Do you say this to all the OG growers? You said that to me also, and I felt special! You are just playing with my emotions...lol

Interesting. I see we have more in common than we thought. I've been shooting mostly with the 7D these days. The HD video through a true SLR lens is to die for. I use my twenty year old first, and I mean FIRST generation Nikon point and shoot digicam for my bud shots, tho. This thing was one of the first digital cameras to hit the market widely.... before the digital SLR technology was perfected. It's old as fuck, but it still takes rich pix. I don't use my professional camera on my grow because I don't need 18 megapixel images to upload to RIU... Lol.

I am interested in all forms of photography: landscape, urban, abstract... But as you might have guessed, my main focus is glamour photography of beautiful female models. I've done nude studies with most of the models you've seen in my journal -- the artistic/glamour nude is my reason for picking up a camera... big surprise, huh? But I can't share those images with you here, unfortunately. I tried putting up some implied nudes and they were promptly removed. A female moderater even removed one where the model was fully clothed in a blouse and skirt... I don't know what was up with that move. I've also been getting into production photography for independent horror films. I recently did a character shoot for promotional material on an indie slasher movie a friend of mine is directing. It was a blast. The cast and crew were great and they even had their DP there in the studio shooting me shooting the actors for behind the scenes footage (dvd bonus features). It was cool talking to a moving picture camera expert... she was just as fascinated by the process of still photography as I am by the process of moving photography (film). I think I'm gonna keep pursuing this aspect of photography. This project could open huge doors for my director friend... and based on the work I did for him free of charge on this project, he'll have something nice for me if something nice happens to him (and it's already started happening).

If you have a user account at Deviant Art, I could give you the link to my profile that showcases my nude work.

Plants:
I see some signs of mild foxtailing on a few of the heads. I actually think foxtails are kinda' cute now. i smoked a foxtailed Pure Kush bud last night and it was fun slicing off the dense horns and smoking those first.

The smell is so powerful now that I have to close the door to my room because the constant fumes can get to you...and the box is in the living room pretty far away from my room.

omg, dude. I just read that and laughed my ass off.
