I have a macro lens but it's middle of the road quality. It does the job taking photos of the jewelry I make but I'm sure depth of field would go away really quickly on a subject as large as a bud.

Can probably take better pics with my phones camera than my camera. 
Operator error for certain.

Yes @Kismet when it comes to photography I am all to familiar with operator ineptitude. I would love to be able to take a nice photo of a whole plant. In the 7 gallon pots in soil they're too heavy for me to lift so a photo segregating it from the other plants is tough. So I agree, I should just stick to my phone.

The two Peyote Wi-Fi girls continue to look beautiful. Although their buds are just now really starting to form I'm amazed at the crystals forming on them already. So amazed in fact that I pulled out my little jar of Specially Selected Jellium pollen and dusted the buds on two small branches. Not sure about the viability of the pollen as it was harvested late in the life of the reversed pollen doning female. But my gut tells me it's going to be good. I'm saving the last of that pollen for my two Specially Selected Jellium twins which are just now starting to flower. Here is a photo of the Peyote Wi-Fi plants taken today.
The two branches with the pipe cleaners attached are the two I pollinated. Doing this makes it easier to monitor them and not lose track of the pollinated branches. Three days and I should know if the pollen did it's job or not.

Speaking of my Jellium twins I want to share a few photos of the leaves this plant puts out. The vast majority of them are 3 fingered leaves with a very small percent odd looking 4 finger leaves. The plant is happy and healthy with pretty, shiny leaves. These are both clones coincidentally from a plant that grew perfectly normal with respect to the fingers on her leaves. So I'm curious to see what comes of these two girls. I have pollen collected by reversing their mom and will be pollinating some of the branches for some Jellium BX seeds.
Here is a photo of the Jellium plant.
Here are three photos showing the 3 and 4 finger leaves.
Would this be called a mutant??

Was the seed plant this clone came from like that? I think it might be a clone thing, cause my clones looked like that for a long time. They grow out of it though. Genetic/clone thing?

Not sure I understand. I grew a Jellium out and took two cuttings from her. This 7 gallon fabric pot has those two clones in it which I will pollinate once they are further into flower. The mother of these two clones did not look like these two clones.
Well so there’s your answer. It’s a clone thing. Maybe the fact that they’re in the same pot has something to do with it as well?

Not sure it can be summed up as simply as saying it's a clone thing. Genetics I would expect is the cause. I think together in one pot or in separate pots I suspect they would be doing the same thing. But that is just my personal belief. I might be right, you might be right, or we could both be mistaken.

Here are representations of my clones. As you can see most of my plants develop with leaves with 3 or 4 lobes. Actually, I've been cloning for years and I've never paid much attention to this anomaly before.

I guess I never noticed it before really until today. Interestingly those Jellium plants were flipped into flowering 15 days ago and are starting to show signs of flowering but have not outgrown the 3 finger "phase"

@Van Stank has had good success growing multiple plants in the same pots. Maybe he would be so kind as to share if he's had any 3 fingered plants when grown together in the same pot?
My bigger clones have mostly 5s, but she’s got a couple 3s also.
Hey beez, the rev's recipe calls to pour the soil out and mix it it every week while it cooks. It's too much for me so I turn the top of the barrel when I can. Works out fine so far.

Well let's see. With @stoneotter casting his preferred method and adding that to a couple PMs and a few text messages from soil growers I am currently at 4 growers who turn (and moisten if needed) their soil, and 4 growers to say mix it really well, water it, put the lid on and leave it alone till you're ready to use it.
I reckon I'll just flip a coin as I'm sure both ways work. It is just dirt after all right?

No till soil I wouldn’t want to mix it while it cooks. Some of the super soil I see I wouldn’t have a problem turning it a couple times while it’s cooking.
Keeping it from getting anaerobic is most important. I recently got new totes that were too air tight and I let it go bad. Very stinky! Had to get it out of the house stinky and it didn't take long as I did check it for moisture. One day it was gone. I'm putting some holes for venting where it'll serve best along the top and maybe the bottom too. I haven't had the problem in barrels. Now there will be 20 gallons of outstanding tomato soil come spring.
When there's fuzzy growth on top I leave it alone and don't mix it to promote more of that in normal times. It stops and I give it a mix. All un scientific seat of pants moves but that's it.

My first batch of mix using KIS Organics Nutrient Pack as the primary amendment went anaerobic. Smells like a pig farm.
Years ago I heard of growers using this manure as their source of nutes. I hope it was cured. Anyway, it just needed a good turning so I got the tarp and shovel out, turned it and it was good to go from then.

My newly mixed soil (mixed 12/28) continues to have bits and bobs of Santas beard here and there across the top of it. I never sealed the top of the tote because I had read that can lead to problems. For about 4 or 5 days the soil smelled like malted barley. That aroma has dissipated and now it just smells like nice fresh soil. So I am leaning towards just leaving it alone and seeing how it works. If it is lacking then next time I mix as it cooks. Anyway, when I flipped the coin last night it was heads leave it alone, and tails mix it as it cooks. That was my scientific solution to the question....to mix or not to mix.

Now on to the Peyote Wi-Fi plants for the few remaining visitors. They continue to grow beautifully with absolutely no problems whatsoever. I do anticipate I will have to support some of the branches as they're not all too strong and they're producing (not complaining) what look like are going to be some large colas/buds. 
I found my dried bamboo stash so I'm ready when it's needed. The plant in the organic soil appears to be outperforming the plant in the Pro Mix being fed Mega Crop nutrients. Could be the soil vs nutes or it could be a slight genetic difference. Here is a quick photo of the two girls taken this morning.
