Carestaker's - Hybrid LED / HPS Powered 4x4 - Various Strains

The trich density on your produce is amazing, CareStaker! :thedoubletake:

I've been pretty lucky. Genetics aside, the LEDs really bring a lot to the table in that department. You're going to appreciate the switch. I hope the Cob based lights work well. I don't have any experience with them yet! :peace::Namaste:

Great looking shots!

Thanks SD! I got a little USB micro on ebay that I use. Like 20$ or so. :peace::Namaste:


:thanks: AS! I'm seeing the same on your AK! :circle-of-love::peace::Namaste:
 
I'm thinking of investing in a USB micro cam Carestaker but my hand is not as steady as it once was. I have to use the stabilization mode on my phone to take decent pics some days. Do you think this would cause a problem trying to take trich pics with the micro cam?
 
great thread Carestaker, I am amazed at your reading my journal, from page 1, no one has done this , in quite some time.

I hope you like it.

Care, I'm jumping in here, BAR the usb m-scopes for 40 bux on-line/Amzon, work quite well, stability non issue, they come with a stand,

mine does video too, plug and play/look. :circle-of-love:

Bar, I have the same problem. The stands that come with the scopes but doesn't take away what the scope gives you. Most of them has accompanied software that allow you to take both pictures and video. My software also let's me take multiple pics with one click.

That's how I over come the steady hands. Take multiple shots and pic the best one.

Bottom line probably the best addition to my grow.

My suggestion would be, which ever one you get just play with it and get use to it.

Here's my PSA... Not sure how old you are or feel but don't use the scope to look at your hand...lol. You'll find out real fast how old you are...lol.

And I've also learned to never look down on a mirror - it's unnerving to see your face falling off. :thedoubletake:

:thumb:Nice share Ren, IMO, he's very old,

how else could he posses such a plethora of information & fresh smack!:circle-of-love:
 
Shoot, You guys are making me feel older by the post! If I wasn't an old man before I am now.
 
I had a full head of hair until I read these last few post.

How are you doing today Carestaker?

Awesome tool to have imo. You can get some insight into how the trichs, and the plant, matures. Sounds like you got some good advise from the Senior Section, already though :)

great thread Carestaker, I am amazed at your reading my journal, from page 1, no one has done this , in quite some time. I hope you like it.

I've already laughed hard while reading it...so I'm enjoying it, and I'll certainly learn a lot too. I'll make my way through, thank you for putting it up. If you had gone to my school, weed have been good friends. :) I have troublemaker tendencies, and a uniform contempt for authority and bureaucracy. :) :Hookah:

Wait, what are we talking about haha... :rofl:

...or that rubbery action when it snaps back, and slaps itself ! :)

Lol... Too funny. Yea, I got all the mirrors in my house covered up...lol.

Only to hide all the cracks! :)

BAR is certainly his own dude, but I think he may be wise beyond all those many, many, many years. :)

ATM I'm just joking with you guys, and laughing my behind off. Trich is right....Laughter IS the best medicine. After weed, and maybe penicillin. I am enjoying the read very much BAR. :high-five:



Quick update:
Panama, Day 14 Flower Pic from (yesterday) She's doing very well, and seems to have topped out at 41" from dirt, and about 2.5 feet wide. She's got about 200 bud sites that are very small right now, but have a super tight calyx ball at each bud's center, with super taut and symmetrical pistil development. She's showing some good early resin developement on bracts, and even fans already. I installed the new lamp, which has lots of UV, and feel like my light is right, again. I'll get some pics. The early word on the Solis-Tek high frequency digital lamp is :thumb:

She's going to be fun to watch.

Strawberry Blue Day 14 Flower.
She's growing massive wet looking buds, with huge fat pistols. She's just been fed again, and is taking nutes well. So far, and easy grow, and she looks all business and FAT. Smell isn't yet prominent.


Cotton Candy Fem Day 13 Flower
She has thick strong stems that are starting to smell great, and her buds are filling in a bit. They are about medium sized, but appear to be the swelling kind. Nice plant!


CooCooSkunk Day 13 Flower

She's doing well, and looking great. She's got some wierd leaf vectoring, but I attribute that to be a bit off with pH at the early feeds, and that fact that she's was a flowering clone.

Dirtyskunk Day 8 Flower
Is making a comeback. The twin to CooCooSkunk, but in dirt, is showing me some of the grow habit differences between the two media. I hope these stay female damit. :)

Fruit Punch Day 8 Flower
She's about 14" and budding. My first Budsicle. She's soooo cute. I'll get some pics soon.

:peace:&:Love:
 
Got those pics loaded. Most of these were taken under HPS lighting. The new Solis-Tek lamp, looks much more natural than the Ushio.

Cotton Candy Fem Day 13 Flower.
She has thick strong stems, that are starting to smell great, and her buds are filling in a bit. She's super sharp, and super easy to grow. Not much phases her. Nice plant!

Ya, she big, whew. :thedoubletake: I feel bad now about encouraging you to let it grow. Sheesh! At least she's done ... right? :straightface:

I had a feeling she was gonna run, and she boogied a bit :circle-of-love:

I'll be stalking your threads for a smoke report and pics of her buds when ripe. :) She's a beaut GT :circle-of-love:
 
that cotton candy looks like it's going to be a beast

I hope so man, I hope so...but we're going to find out haha :MoreNutes: I just fed her, and StrawBlue, a more indica based feed, at about 50% strength Sensi Bloom, plus some extra P. The WW and Panama are getting a lighter feed, still at 35% strength or so. I think I've been underfeeding my Coco plant, so I've ramped up her feeds, and she responding very well. All plants are at 6ml per gal CaMg+ too. :

It's looking really nice in there. Panama is 42.5" tall and about 2'x2 almost square. I think she's done growing, and is going to settle in. She's about the same size as SWD, so I'm hoping that she produces something close....cause that would just be amazing. :peace::Namaste:
