Howard's Hunt for Headstash

Yeah, I did that to my workbench. :+1::seedling: Looks good.

A lid on the reservoir and a pump and timer and pretty much done. Automatic I like it… a lot.

And using coco changes the way the roots form so pot size is less an issue I have been told (and observed). I have been using Royal Gold Tupur (Amazon link- I got it at half that local hydro store) mainly for the added basalt.

I have been considering doing something similar to your setup myself

Your USC scope takes far better pics than mine does. Much better focus and depth of field. Can you post a link to the one you are using? Im tired of fighting mine :slight_smile:

I apparently messed up on the last rez refill, because when I checked on the plants last night they were extremely unhappy, and had a lot of ugly spots all over the leaves. My guess is that I left the Part B out, and messed up the pH pretty bad, and since I’m pretty sick I didn’t double check. I also didn’t give the plants a good look the last few days, or I would surely have noticed before it got this bad.

Interestingly, the Orange Goji #2 took far less of a hit than either of the two other plants. What a trooper! So glad I have rooted clones.

Tried to take some pics while I was flushing the pots, but most of them didn’t turn out great. I’m too sick to want to try any harder than that, so here’s an unsorted photo dump of the better pics of the #2 plant. My apologies if they’re poorly focused, over/under exposed, etc.

Orange Goji #2

Broke a lower branch putting the plant back in the tent. That’s unfortunate, now I have to dry it and smoke it :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Plants looking great Howard! Even after the hiccup with the nutes they are looking awesome.

How does the orange goji smell?

PS very cool small cabinet. :+1:

Thank you for the kind words, I appreciate it!

No idea about the smell, tbh. What little I can smell of them right now is really good, but ask me again in a couple weeks when I can breathe and I might have a better answer :smile:

Can’t find it at the moment. It was one of the cheaper ones on Amazon, though. Honestly, I’m looking to upgrade as soon as I am able, to one with higher resolution.

I am so stoked that @anon32470837 asked about that USB microscope! Wanted one of these for awhile. Couldn’t remember what it was called. Kept asking people calling it a phone microscope or something, tried to search amazon and didn’t have the USB part of the search in there and couldn’t find them. People kept directing me to apps to download and those suck and are hard to use. Literally just bought one 5 seconds after reading this. YES!

Fortunately for everyone, the one I bought last year is no longer available. Thats a good thing because it sucks.

Ive gone through several so far - returning most as soon as I test them. Bad focus, crappy software and some just dont work with windows 10 even when they say they do. Ive spent dozens of hours trying t find drivers that worked and Im sick of this crap.

This one does work - sort of. The depth of field is extremely narrow and the focus isnt good. I had one that was great, but after a windows up-date it no longer worked and the seller never did come up with a working driver.

@Howard.Crane - yours works really well compared to the four or five I have tried. The pics are far better than any I have been able to take.

I’ll try to remember to dig it out tomorrow. Wonder what @Meesh will think of hers, too.

I ordered this one…

There was an amazon coupon for 7 bucks and free shipping. So it was like 38 bucks

Just got a brief moment of respite from my nasal congestion, and was able to get a short sniff of the Orange Goji #1 plant before it came back. The dominant smell reminded me of Tang or something. Very orange, plus stuff I couldn’t identify. Really nice smell. Very different from what I remember of the #2 plant.

Too bad I couldn’t smell well enough to be able to pick up any nuances or less dominant smells, but I’m quite convinced that I’m going to enjoy smoking this stuff!

Ugh, just hurry up and dry out enough to smoke already! Sheesh!

Getting impatient that I still got at least two weeks left, obviously :wink:
