Nice trich shots bud, you using a USB microscope?

Yes sir. Honestly I forgot what one it was. It works good enough. For some reason the photos donā€™t save to the phone. It did on my Note 10. But not the Note 20. Iā€™m going to download another app for to see if that will fix it. Right now I get around it with a screen shot.

Very cool, I use the same one. Takes some really cool pics.

Yes she dose. Really good tool for a reasonable price. I was flooding my old grow thread with all kinds of trichome pictures when I first got it. Lol.

Hey @LilJonB did you subtract a week from flower after flipping? It just occured to me. I always negate the first week to ten days after flipping. Thatā€™s the way I learned anyway. So my 12 ish is really 13 ish. If not itā€™s no biggy buy it might add a bit to your finishing. I just assume everyone does.

Have you tried ā€œYour Phoneā€ or its companions that go by different names ā€œYour Phone Companionā€ā€¦etc.?

It allows me to transfer photos from my Note 20 to my PC (Microsoft Windows 10). It does it in the background. Just as long as Your Phone is open on my PC it transfers the images that I can then open/edit there or open in MS Paint.

It also performs all those other tasks listed on the left - from your phone to your PC.

Edit Add: I just took this picture. It took 4 minutes to get from my phone to my PC (it may have been 3 minutes, I wasnā€™t paying particular attention to it). I didnā€™t have to do anything but take the picture and have Your Phone opened.

All the best! tup,
WHAB

Nope. :unamused: I always count from flip. I always got the idea that it was dishonest seed banks that came up with that whole ā€œcount when you see flowersā€ thing. I could be wrong. Im just talking trashā€¦ donā€™t mind meā€¦ I know there are some around here that do it that wayā€¦ It would be close to two weeks. Before I seen Tru flowers. We will see what happens.

Good morning WHAB. It was a little tricky on the 10 to. But I figured out how on there. I would have to manually go into ā€œMy Filesā€ folder. They are supposed to be in there. But since itā€™s an app taking the photo not the phone they donā€™t go automatically into my album. Why do I think itā€™s the app? There is a function on the app where you can open the photo/video you take. The folder stays empty. Lol.

Thanks for your concern WHAB. Thereā€™s another free app I can try. Iā€™m not giving up yet. Iā€™m just a little lazy.

I donā€™t wait for flowers I just forget the first week. Iā€™ve flipped 5 days ago, on Thursday Iā€™ll be day 1. Itā€™s exhausting ya. Last Hopscotch took three weeks for flowers but I think it was due to too fast flip after topping and the plant had to catch up. But it put her at 11 weeks counting the three. That plant was weird from day one.

Sorry if I seemed bummed out about the extra time. It was the first thing I read when I woke up. Her leaves are really changing. I donā€™t always wait as long as I probably should for my plants to finish. I know some folks plants look like there almost dead when they harvest. Iā€™ve never been that patient. Iā€™m sure if I had some green time probably would not be an issue. Iā€™m not taking her before my 90 days are up. Letā€™s see how she looks at 90 and go from there. She will be starting her flush at day 87 no matter what. Iā€™m hoping this will help her to finish faster. I know flushing makes the leaves look as tho they are finishing. I donā€™t think it dose that for the trichomes tho. I would like them to be a little more milky. Canā€™t have everything right.

Oh I completely understand. Are the leaves getting darker purple? I have cut light to 11/13 and 10/14 to speed up finishing. Not sure if it worked but my thinking was outside light constantly get shorter.

Hey guys. A couple questions about mailing seeds. Dropping them right in a mail box? Is that OK. The return safe address Iā€™m going to use does not have out going mail. How many flips can I send per stamp? I know the coil flip thread has some of this info. Itā€™s just a long one.

I noticed they go from the standard green to light green then turn purple.



I was thinking about knocking the light back to 11/13. I was concerned about yield. I donā€™t think that will be much of a concern at this point. I donā€™t like to get excited about weight until after a few days of drying. But she looks and feels dense. I was also thinking of dropping some ice in her bucket to trick her. I want to wait for the flush to do that tho.

I put mine in the mail box. I have put as many as three flips in one card. I think that would be the limit. Less is probably better.

Thanks Floyd. I just want to make sure I do it right. I will do two stamps. Everyoneā€™s Freedom is worth a lot more then a 55 cent stamp.

The autos are in soil.


One took a tumble off the my WC bucket. I noticed one of the Hopscotch branches came untied. Not thinking it started pulling and the GG4 took a walk. Sheā€™s OK. So I made them a little table. All this is temporary till I get them outside.

Hopscotch PH was a little high. 6.4 brought her down to 6. I guess I didnā€™t let it stabilize before I put it in her bucket.
I donā€™t know why Bluelab designed the strap to go over the screen.


I like to keep it in there while I use it. Maybe some one though it will protect the screen. Oh well.

That little chore ended up being a big one. The soil that I needed was from the male Hopscotch bucket. I was trying to be careful not to drag pollen through out the house. Itā€™s been sitting for a while but still. I was just thinking: I wonder if someone ever had a problem with a grower and decided to pollinat there plot with shity genetics. Lol. Iā€™m terrible.
I know your not supposed to up pot autos. But I would like to get a couple sets on them before they go outside. Or should I just move them outside and wish for the best?
