[falstaffo]

got it lifted up and strapped in place..

also got a few trich shots off my friends phone he took yesterday on a quick visist, much better camera than mine lol
mix of the critical and gas though

 

[falstaffo]

@Old Salt i got a couple of close ups of the autofreaks,

how long would you guesstimate on these now? i think its what 24 days on 12/12, well actually they are closer to 11/13, but its like 11 weeks since the preflowers started appearing lol although as weve seen it wasnt until i dropped their daily light allowance that they really started flowering properly.. hoping i can take em down soon lol

 

[Old Salt]

There are a lot of white pistils in there. I'm not seeing the trichome development especially on the sugar leaves that I'd expect. Here's an image of a cola one week before I harvested it. I should have left it another week or two...

This is what the trichomes were like at the time the picture above was taken...

 

[falstaffo]

yeah i thought that about the trich build up. a few weeks off still..?
patience then patience... lol
thankyou.
anxious for my bathroom back is all lol

 

[falstaffo]

i need to work on pic quality. maybe a camera, or tripod for phone.

 

[Old Salt]

I don't use an expensive camera. It's about seven years old, a Canon SX600 HS with a resolution of 4608 X 3456. I didn't take any special care with the settings, just left it in auto. I did use a tripod, and the shutter delay function so I didn't get any jitters in it. A lot of the pistils are washed out. I could have adjusted the exposure so they'd be much clearer. To post it here at close to the size of your images, I resized the camera image to 2560 X 1920, and cropped it to 1280 X 960.

The trichome image was taken with a low cost USB microscope. The resolution is only 640 X 480.

Something else you can do to get the best picture possible, is turn off the fans so there's no movement of the plants.

 

[falstaffo]

a tripod will defo help, my hands arent all that steady.. funny that considering i need steady hands at work every day lool

and reading the comment on turning off the fans, cause for a *face palm* moment, ‘doh’ why didnt i think of that...

 

[falstaffo]

outside humidity is high the past couple of days, having trouble getting below 60 with the gas’ and critical and constant 70s for the rh lol the dehumidifiers aren’t powerful enough really.
lots of airflow though, may look to add more still lol

I think they still got a bit of gas left in the tank...

I see quite a few clear tricomes still, as well as a few fresh, white pistils. She's still growing...

Keep an eye on her... it will be ready really soon.

[falstaffo]

critical

gas1

 

[falstaffo]

gas2

all have had their nutes gradually cut down to half strength will lower a little more next couple days

hoping a well trained eye can assess

i think i see the odd amber on critical but mostly clear and cloudy on the gas?

 

[Old Salt]

Yes, the critical is mainly cloudy, with some clear and amber.
The gas looks equal clear and cloudy, with the odd amber. That amber I see could be a reflection of a pistil.
