Homer's Legal 4-Plant Max Perpetual Minimalist Garden In Ontario

I've used Pinnacle for video editing as it was 'free' with the video converter I bought to transfer my VHS tapes to DVD. The version I have is not that great, and I've not bought the upgraded versions.

Have you looked at Corel Video Studio? They have a 30 day trial available, and it's not leased software. I've used Corel's editing and graphic design packages since '94. They seem pretty good, even though I'm not a graphic artist. I'm still learning how to use parts of it, and often still do things the 'hard' way.

I checked out Corel Video Studio and PC Magazine gives it 4.5 stars out of five and gives Adobe Premier Elements only 3.5 stars so it does seem to be a pretty good program and it actually costs about $60 less.

If I had known this before I would definitely have purchased the Corel instead of the Adobe program but now that I have forked out $160 I am trying to find a free solution but if things don’t work out I will be trying the Corel.

I have uninstalled and installed so many programs my Windows is now compromised because I can’t install anything now so I think I am going to have to reinstall Windows which I was really trying to avoid but I feel I have no choice. Since I have that video half edited I am going to reinstall Windows and try and reinstall Adobe Premiere Elements just to get it done then I have two programs that have totally free versions; da Vinci and HitFilmExpress I will try.

If they both don’t work out and I can’t get a good program for free I will probably try the Corel. Thanks a lot for the input Old Salt. You always have some good sound advice.

My computer is about eight years old so it's kind of slow for video editing and especially rendering so I am going to get an upgrade this summer once Windows 11 comes out. New motherboard, RAM, processor, and operating system.
 
My Gorilla Glue broke ground eight weeks and five days ago which is about the time I usually switch over to flower but since this young lady is in a 10-gallon pot and will have the Mega Light all to herself I am going to let her bulk up for a while before I flip her.

The Dr. Seeds site says this plant is a heavy feeder which it certainly seems to be because I pushed it pretty quick to four grams per gallon MC without a hint of tip burn so I think this watering I will take it to 4.5 and hold it there. She is still looking awfully promising.

I gave this picture more exposure to show the underlying branch structure. This plant just naturally seems to want to be trained; I haven't done any super cropping and I have a pretty good even canopy which I attribute to the plant more than my training skills. :rolleyes:

I am going to try and reinstall Windows this weekend so if I'm not around for a while things didn't go well. :oops: Hope everyone is well.

That GG is a good looking plant!

Thanks, Penny. It seems very similar to the 1:20 that was also from Dr. Seeds being a big healthy plant. Hopefully she buds just as well then she'll be a real winner.

Look at some of the pictures of @Grandpa Tokin GG4 for a good comparison.

He has quite the elaborate setup that makes mine look like kind of a clown show, LOL. His plants look nice and healthy and I assume the big two ones are Gorilla Glue? Somebody posted a big whole bucket of GG; that was pretty impressive.

GG in flower is fairly easy to spot, very distinct flowers. Terps are a dead giveaway as well.

From the pictures I have seen of the GG they seem covered in white trichomes. The Dr. seeds site describes the Terps as EARTHY, PINE, PUNGENT. RICH IN B-CARYOPHYLLENE. RICH IN LIMONENE. I was reading the B-CARYOPHYLLENE smells like rosemary and clove oil and the LIMONENE is lemony; yes, sounds pretty distinct.

And gas usually, always loved the fuel strains.

I have sort of avoided the fuel strains because besides growing in my basement I pretty much live in it so my plants are my roommates and I'm not sure I want a really stinky one, LOL. If it gets too bad I can always move up to my bedroom upstairs for a while. I'm sure it will be worth it in the end. I was going to grow my Bruce Banner next but I think it will be pretty close to the GG in effect so I think I will try the Dr. Seeds Bubba Kush again. The first seed died but it happens.

They do die sometimes, should be a good smell from it.

Glad to hear it because having them as roommates it is important. I find most are pretty pleasant but some are not; the Critical plant I had was downright unpleasant.

Thanks for the comments, BudShark. Being retired and in quarantine, I have all the time in the world to monkey around with my pictures so they better be good, LOL. I find blurples a pain for color balance also. My MegaLight though is nicely balanced for pictures thankfully.

I have been kind of sidetracked because being finished filming the life of my last crop in time-lapse I am making a little video outlining my minimalist system. It's a real hoot to do with these programs.

Hello Homer, I hear you, great hobby, photography, growing and a friendly place to post and chat. Time lapse is a great idea, I have seen a few that were very well done, I am sure you will get your Minimalist technique out there for millions to see. Keep up the great work. Will be a while for me, I enjoy to watch too much... a bit lazy Lol Cheers
