Hey RR! Good to see you here buddy
As I've just read, where Carmen's at she doesn't. But yes, in every state of Australia apart from one, we change ours twice a year
Thanks Uncle, they are looking pretty good thus far
How interesting, seeing as you buried your's straight in the dirt and I did a germination process
Thanks Carmen!
It sure is!
Mine will be in the cupboard under the lights until the out grow their solo's. Once I uppot, they'll go out in the summer Australian sun
Holy shit batman!!!
Your little ones have such a gorgeous shade of green
im astounded.I wonder what caused such dramatic differences in colour!
Amazing job gurl!!!
When you said you planted in a seedling/soil mix, was that a premade seed raising mix? Or your own concoction?
I've noticed the same thing about the Angel, I think they're going to be very leggy girls
also the stems on my angels are a very deep maroon/red colour.I love how you're running your lights at 18/6, I used to run nothing but that as a standard for veg period. But lately I've been attracted to 24/0, so that's what mine are getting at the moment, will be interesting to see if it makes much difference
I'm about to take some new pics now and upload

Carmen's are definitely a nicer shade of green and mine are a tad taller I think
This is gonna be super interesting!

I've currently got all my girls on a 24/0 light schedule, something I've been experimenting on autos recently with, seems like they're doing well so far 
Here are my Super Mazar Auto sprouts at day 4!
#1 has smaller growth, but is more leggy.
#2 has bigger growth, but is shorter.
Here are my Big Angel Auto sprouts at Day 4!
Carmen was definitely right about the Angel's, the growth is a bit quicker than the Mazars and as you can see on #1, the stem is a red/maroon colour
I know it's super early days, but I think both mine and Carmen's girls are gonna be STARS
Hey Carmen, just a quick question!
When I took my photos and uploaded them, the green in my photo is almost as vibrant as yours. But in real life that's definitely not the case. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra for pics
So are yours truly that colour or is the photo cleaning them up a bit?
Over to you girl

I don't know if you can adjust the colour temperature with your device but that is why colour is rendered differently or inaccurately, using the flash may rectify it because the camera knows it's flash lighting [5500-6500K]I've currently got all my girls on a 24/0 light schedule, something I've been experimenting on autos recently with, seems like they're doing well so far

Hey Roy
I don't believe I've seen an option to adjust the colour temp, I'll have a better look a bit later though. I like your thoughts about using the flash, I had the same idea. But I figured seeing as I'm taking the shots while the girls are directly under the grow light, that it would be very similar to using flash and that it wouldn't make much difference, so I didn't try. I could definitely be wrong though, photography is definitely not a speciality of mine

The camera will use the flash setting over ambient light and power the flash enough until it gets enough true colour - try it - but don't have a close background or you'll get a horrid shadow

Thank You! It's good to be here Tassie. Interesting, I did not realize the Aussies did daylight savings time too.Hey RR! Good to see you here buddy

I am using a Nikon D7100 with a Tamron 90 mm f2.8 Macro lens. For these photos I am using the onboard flash covered by a piece of paper to mute the flash. I shoot in RAW. I don't adjust the colour. I too am shooting under the grow light but at low intensity. I have my light balance on auto. The plants in my last two grows have had a deep green shade.When I took my photos and uploaded them, the green in my photo is almost as vibrant as yours. But in real life that's definitely not the case. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra for pics
I think the Galaxy S24 Ultra has a pro camara setting. You can change the white balance there I think. Look for "More" in the camera mode.
I mix 50 % soil (I amend my soil after each grow) with 50 % Freedom Farms cannabis seedling mix:
"Ingredients: Prepared Coco Coir, Fine Vermiculite, Fine Perlite, Premium Earthworm castings, Volcanic Rock Dust, Bone Meal, Gypsum, Freedom Farms Bokashi, Bacillus thuringiensis (fungus gnat larvae prevention), Trichoderma harzianum (soil borne pathogen prevention)."
This is what the plants looked like earlier. They are growing quickly.
raw files are too much faffing around for me, plus I'm colour blind and my eyesight isn't good anyway
Not a great CV for a photographer lol

They have a way of balancing things out over time.Thanks Stone!

Thanks Roy!Hi Tass

That's a very good point, I'm on the same wavelength as you now. The only thing is though, as far as I know, the AI built into the Samsung cameras has hardcoded settings to make all your pictures more vibrant and colourful, so I think no matter what I do, I'm always gonna be clashing with that.
But I'll give it a crack tomorrow and see how we go, can't hurt to try
No worries buddy, good to have you! I've missed our chats
Least now I know where the couch went from my other journal
Us Aussie's will have a crack at pretty much anything LOL!!
Wow!! That's a great camera you've got
I forgot that you know a fair bit about photography, dunno how that slipped my mind.
You're right, the S24's have a million settings that I don't even know exist LOL!!
I haven't really had a proper play with the camera settings, I might have to give that a go and if I can't figure it out, I'll sing out for help
That's a great mix!! Very organic and environmentally friendly
Mine is quite similar, except I feed with synthetic nutes
Your sprouts are looking great, mine are about the same size! Do your Angels have reddish stems or is it just mine?
Also I was thinking, should we have a set time to upload pics? As in, like every 2 days or even everyday? Or should we just upload whenever we feel necessary? I'm pretty easy with whatever, but I thought it would be good to be in sync for the best comparison possible for our audience
I'll upload some new pics in a minute
Well that's seriously unlucky! Being colourblind and having poor eyesight to boot
You would've been a great photographer back in the 20's
That is sooo true. I was kinda just giving Carmen an indirect compliment haha
I'm sure mine will be as green and pretty as hers someday

Thanks Tassie. I agree they look alike. That's promising. I am not seeing red in the stems of my plants though.That's a great mix!! Very organic and environmentally friendly

Your sprouts are looking great, mine are about the same size! Do your Angels have reddish stems or is it just mine?
Sure, I usually upload a weekly update with a spreadsheet inspired by HashGirl. It's a nice record keeping device and makes it easy to compare notes. We could have one formal weekly update, and then whatever casual, random photos. How does that sound?Also I was thinking, should we have a set time to upload pics?

Seems like the universe is trying to tell me somethingNot if you find your Pro settings
Have fun! You may develop a new hobby!
You're welcome! Yeah I can definitely see the similarities. Hmmm not sure what's causing the red then, it's more so in #1 than #2. Maybe some sort of additive in my soil reacting with something
I'm sure it'll probably bugger off eventually
Ooo yeah she does damn good spreadsheets, I was catching up on her journal earlier! I'm happy to do a formal weekly update, I won't be able to do a spreadsheet as everything is done off my phone, but I'll make do with something. Maybe like a debrief.
I'll most likely upload pics every couple days anyways, it's kinda become habit now haha
You're most welcome
I know, I know. But yours are just the nicest green I've ever seen. I thought the same thing when you started your other grow
Maybe.I'm sure mine will be as green and pretty as hers someday

The sprouts are really cruising along well
Here's the Super Mazar Auto's at Day 5.
Here's the Big Angel Auto's at Day 5.
Check out the red stem on #1, it's rather strange
What a great start to a comparison grow, our sprouts are very much the same.
Hope y'all are having as much fun watching as we are growing

Good morning Tassie and friends,
I have a couple of progress pics today. The growth is rapid at this stage. The second set of true leaves are coming in now.
@TassieTurtleman Please will you pick a day of the week for us to do our updates.
This is my Big Angel auto with the curly cotyledon
Here is the Super Mazar auto, catching up to the Big Angel
(I'll try not to post too many baby pictures)
Happy Thursday growmies!
