wait… are you thinking what I’m thinking??? BRB!
heh, well… that was the other sensi plant. I sliced it’s node and chopped up a nice sample, like I should have done with the first one. I learned a lesson about taking the sample. It’s much easier to chop out a small section from a large sample once you cut it off the plant. Don’t try and snipe a tiny bit from a tiny plant where it grows.

It looks male to me, like the top part is a leaf bract and the bottom is a pollen sack emerging. This is the second sensi plant… crazy. Woulda thought it was female, but I could be wrong still. Who knows! That’s the fun part.

I think the scans of the c99 show promise! Doesn’t look like there is a stalk-like structure on there forming a bract. I’ll keep my fingers and eyes crossed, it’s good luck for females
hah hahAfter a while it should be easier for me to pick out the females from the males, I just have to keep making observations!

Also I upgraded my computer software for the microscope. It has additional features not covered in the manual. I think the image processing has less artifacts, but that’s harder to tell so far I only took a couple photos.

Love this 🥲 just made bubble from a whole plant that had a little bit of thrips. Using a 50x scope… haha don’t know what I’m looking at. So glad I found this post

hey welcome! You can kill the thrips in three days with a spray of BTK on the plant. Just soak the plant down and the thrips are extinct!

Tests on the sulfur killing mites didn’t seem to work. But that other bug is dead, whatever it is. It was probably a good bug. Mites are tough, and I didn’t think sulfur would eradicate them. The mite nymph is still kicking and squirming.

There’s the video, so you can see it squirm. Bugs were definitely harmed in the making of this video… that’s a promise

Well this thread has convinced me that I do infact need a microscope. Phones zoom isn’t strong enough and the 30x lense on my loupe is to small for me to look through.
breath of the beast that got chopped the other night.

It’s a darkfield biological research microscope with high resolution digital optics. The software enables next level integration. Probably the whole getup including liquid cooled computing rig is worth 5000$. But the pictures are worth a million bucks

here’s a couple of fantasmo shots of a bud leaf. Looks like any other bud leaf to me so far! I can actually tell how far along it is by the trichomes, and it looks like 50% to me.

I head straight to ‘Cannabis microscopy’ when I see it pop up on suggested…
Never disappoints!

Yum! This sample was rejected as being loaded with… fungus. Aka botrytis. Look at the classic dried out mycelium!
