yep 7 weeks is fine it taste sweeter at 7 weeks at 9 weeks its pine overload very piney lol not really my cuppa tea to be honest, i am not keen on smoking it
i passed it on to another grower who does very large SOG runs he is happy with its performance

you should just do pineapple express it only takes 7 weeks too but has a fruity sweet taste and gets just as big. the highs awesome too

Jeez Doc not only do you grow some great bud but your pics are friggin excellent. Always makes me feel like a bong lol... I've only got a phone camera and seeing as I lost my nice one to bongwater (don't ask) all I can capture is a vague reefer-ish blur.

And how do you deal with HID? I always get these stripes across the pic, and intense yellowing unless I move the plant somewhere.

Click to expand...

the strips are because your camera has the shutter speed too low so you see the flicker
in very bright light, the camera will automatically lower the shutter speed, and the aperture and iso
if you want to take pictures under a HID you need to increase the shutter speed, but lower the aperture and the iso manually
taking pics under hps is not good the white balance on most cameras is shit, you can take nice pics under MH or CFL just set the colour setting to florescent

also mate if you take pics inside without much lighting, just regular house lights, you should also use a flash
when you take pics in low light without a flash, there is a very high chance the picture will be blurry unless you have very steady hands or a tripod
most cameras have lens stabilization/ anti blur built in but it doesn't work very well
much better to use the flash indoor if you cant get good light on the plants for pictures

Whats the best way to use an iPhone camera? thats what i got but i have a lifeproof case over it. help me take better pics, any advice is cool

phone cams are not so good, but you will still get good pics if you get the right spread of light on your plants when you take the pics
most bad growroom pics are due to poor lighting in the room rather than a shitty camera, most cameras take great pics outdoor even on auto settings

if you have a MH or a cfl you can turn that on when you take the pics, dont 'shine it directly over the plants let it reflect onto them if you can
you need to play around with the manual settings of the camera even a phone has some manual settings, the auto settings only really work well outside under natural light on a nice day

Reckon I'm going to look around on ebay and get something decent. Enough sound gear now, well almost... Eyeing some Crown VZ5000's so after that I'm DEFINITELY getting one. It'll be nice to participate here fully.

My phone camera is USELESS because I got the cheapest one I could find. I have bad phone mojo. Last iPhone I had ended up in a pint of beer.

if you can move your plants to a well lit room with some nice sun coming in, you really cant help but take good pics mate
not so easy for me, or s420 i don't think he can move his plants either to take pics

most cams around £100 today are good enough mate for outdoor pics in good light

... what I'm thinking I want to do is get something NICE so I can get a decent flash, I want to mount it on a tripod a bit out of the way and take a pic or two a day, perhaps right at lights off which is easy enough. I'd love to make a time-lapse film from starting the LVBK run till the first cycle at least is finished. It'll be EPIC, you'll see the Tahoe fatten up and finish the last 3 cycles too (I run a perpetual harvest, 2 week cycle).
Yup. That would be EPIC.

...Dealt with photography, strains, sealing hoods, a fistfight (almost), foil tape, nutes, and a whole bunch of stuff I forgot about. I pity the guy that types 'defoliation' into the search box he has no idea what he's in for lol...

You could bet good money mate 90% of these types of defoliation/leaf removal threads are started with the devious intent of trolling UB into blowing another head gasket
i don't know why he seems to keep falling for it , i think he likes squabbling

thanks! !

Come on... 'you' cannot change your avatar. I'm going to miss those cups. Nice one though, hmmmm...

Nice work on the avi winterfag !

I was not aware of a winterfag problem, school is usually in session during these times

In that 3 years Iv'e been through 4 flowering setups, 2 veg setups, 2 cloning setups, 3 germinating/seedling processes, and 4 different drying/curing processes. 3 different companies nutrient products, 2 different hydro techniques, and 50 different strains of plants. I am not claiming 2.3 grams per watt. I posted the only pics I had of my plants that were destroyed by heat, everyone can keep calling it nute burn all they want, it just shows me that they dont know wtf they're talking about. I use half strength AN nutes how the f can i nute burn plants running at 1100-1300 ppm? Anyway 2.3 grams per watt is ridiculous, I get anywhere from 1.2-1.4 grams per watt i never claimed 2.3, that is unheard of. I gave the range 1900-2200 grams a harvest off of 1500 watts of light, do the math thats not 2.3.

Click to expand...

You're right. I must suck at math...
I remember us chatting before about your yield and I was adding it up to over 2 g per watt.
my bad.
I was having a hard time taking anything you said seriously because of that math error.
Haha, sorry bout that.

You should get the canon t3i. its only around $500 new so you could probably find a well priced used one.

there is a team called Magic Lantern which is basically like the evasion or redsnows of apple but with Canon.

They give you features like intervolometer to do timelapses and alot more that Canon holds back to protect the higher end cameras and gear.

The art of TRUE trolling lol lol lol... It's like mentioning running to my old high-school accounting teacher. Jaded pro runner he was, would amuse us by going off the rails for a whole period. Once you know where the button is it's hard not to push it... Especially a big, red button.

Sounds like your accounting teacher and me have something in common - we hate stupidity and in cannabis forums there's plenty of it going around.
