Thanks GG. I hadn't seen you on a lot and I've seen you more lately, that makes me happy! Just like seeing that GG pop up everywhere, always so positive with everyone!
I'll send it over....so long as you promise when you bring it back we can build a snowman together!
So back to Part II. Continuation of our:
Zombie Death Focus Plant of the Day
Today we are looking up, over and at our younger
Zombie Death sister in
Spike.
This girl is cone shaped to the max, I'd say she made herself her own breed of nugs:Foxtail Cones. Not quite foxtails, not quite cones. She's got something different going on. They are so heavy and dense and so awkwardly stacked that she leans over, they almost look like purple fingers curling. Very interesting thing to see.
I can honestly say not one of my plants has buds growing in the same form. I have fat kind of fisted buds (Sirius Black), cone buds, these foxtail cone buds (ZDF), foxtail buds (GGSLH is genetically bred to have fox tails on her dense buds) and I have your regular old mill run of the line buds in my Gelato-K. Even in my 3x3, my 2 Big Bulls, have all sorts of interestingly shaped buds between them.
The one thing I really like about the ZDF is this rainbow coloring I'm seeing. It's evident through trichome pics, mainly which is funny cause Sirius Black, who has a real rainbow color scheme, is showing mostly her deep purple side at this juncture.
Now I want to point out that these trichome shots were done free hand WITHOUT the use of my scope holder. You can obviously tell, these aren't as crisp as the ones taken where the scope is steady. You may think your hand is steady when you take pics, but that slight vibration sent when you move your hand or finger just slightly to snap that photo, is all it takes for a photo to become less clear.
Can you guys see what I'm throwing out here?? Just that little bit of an uneasy hand leads to good, but not great pics! I didn't think it was necessary to have all the things I do now for picture taking but I see that this is such an art, it takes both tools and lots of practice to be even halfway good at it.
This Zombie Death is pretty stellar from her bottom nugs up. The sugar production on these sisters is profound. Spike seems to have hers coming up from the bottom while Gizmo seems to have fairies come overnight and sprinkle a little more on top.
It makes me so anxious for harvest when I see this kind of trichome production from way down under, this early on. I am like a little kid in a candy shop, beaming with excitement!
The following shots are regular phone camera photos. I use my flash to negate the glare that comes in from the top with the light. The phone has to be angled a certain way as well or the photos come out with a little yellow hue on them.
It's harder to manage this the more the plants develop as the snow resin they've made, reflects even more light.
I just want to preface this by saying, when you look at these photos, you can tell they aren't
MACROS as they aren't clear when you zoom into smaller areas. The trichomes seem washed out or faded and the pistils are not nearly as clear as in the
MACROS.
I took a bunch of these peculiar buds she has. It's not just one or two either, it's every single bud!
I'll follow this entry with Part III, which will be a MACRO photo entry of both of the Zombie Death girls buds. It'll be so fun to see side by side, the extreme differences in what were seemingly identical plants just several weeks ago.
What these plants do and what each strain is capable of doing, blows my mind-every single growing day. They are all so unique and so amazing, it's a wonder how people can have an opportunity to grow and don't take it.
It's not until you are a part of this process and see what big things come from some of the smallest things around, that you fall in love.
I mean maybe you need to have green in your blood. Maybe you need to be a special kind of person, like some people are able to work in restaurants and some will never be able to, in order to feel the love these plants give.
Constantly making the most out of your environment, consistently pushing yourself and your grows to be better. I think that's the athlete in me. Thinking of growing as I would a sport, a place to make friends, learn, grow (literally), better myself.
That's all for this entry....
MACRO Photo Comparative Entry to come on the 2 Zombie Death sisters,
Gizmo and
Spike.
colas! Your always a winner in my book 
Jersey! Getting really good @ those tri-shots to. Happy growing robe buddy. CL
I knew there were other ways, I just had to find them is all. Now I can just continue to be a happy, easy peasy grower picking up things along the way that spike my interest to try; glad you may be headed in that direction, too!

in there! Really nice looking grow Jersey
