A truly awesome thread. I'll love your style. 
Thanks Heero, Thanks A.N.,
Cheers TML, yeah this cam was a good choice, still getting to grips with all the features, most I'll never use, but it seems to do everything I need it too.
Here's another top shot of one of the poporn buds. Its harder to get shots free hand, but the cam seems to manage that too, so long as you pick a quick shutter speed.
And here is a bi-foliar sibling to the tri's I'm doing in the 3 + 3 = thread. I promised someone I'd check out how it grew compared to the tri's. But since it isn't tri, it'll have to live in here. I also thought I'd turned it round before uploading it, sorry, tilt your heads or something lol. Also going to play with some new stuff soon, that'll be the last start until after summer then. Seeds get wet this week, intro's when they step into the light.

What program do you use for your pics? Check out Irfanview if you don't allready have it. It's freeware so no costs. I use it for changing the size of pics as it's real easy, and just press l or r for turning it.
Great pics though, the cam was deffinately worth it.
Hi Spice, glad you're enjoying the show.
Just taken a lot of buds like the first shot, now just the second shot remains.
Hi Alex, yeah £110 and came with a 1Gb card, and they cost £35. Although for some reason it came with a Fuji card not an Olympus card, which means that because Olympus try to push their own cards, they fix their cams not to do certain things unless they have Olympus cards in them, like panorama shots. I use the free Olympus software that came with the cam, but it doesn't resize the pixel count without cropping the image. For that I have to use the free sony software that came with the old cam. These photos were resized before uploading, and it did save a lot of upload time, but it means that I have 2 copies of each picture in different folders. Just makes keeping the hard drive clear a little hasslier. Maybe I should make the effort and resize em more often first, but then its so much lazier to just wait for em to upload naturally, and put that time to use rolling something nice.
So all that is left on smokey girl now is the buds that were pollinated late, lets see if the seeds ripen and are viable, then she'll go into slow reveg ready for restarting flowering at the end of August.

nice smokey buds 
I like the way u have used collected pollen there to just pollinate a few buds , so u have bud to smoke , and buds to seed. I notice u have some few buds on the lower part of plant.. can i assume this is what u are leaving for the reveg? and the buds with seed u will remove ?. That is a good idea u have, bud seeds(hopefully tho i am expecting that they shld be ok) and some bud to reveg from..
Hi Kooki, good eye you have there, yep those very bottom buds will be the sites of new reveg growth, the 2 end buds contain about 20 seeds between them. I actually removed a single pollen sack from the male plant, (phrasing that sentence very carefully), and then emptied the contents into the 2 buds pictured at about 6 weeks I think. Not sure if the seeds will mature past this point though, just another experiment. If it works, its a method that I will be using again. The rest of the buds are completely unseeded. I not only get to smoke my plant and keep it ( which apparently you can't do with cake), but I also get offspring from it. I am concerned that the epigenetic effect may be to delay flowering or slow ripening in the offspring, but I'll grow some and we'll have a look.
So next up is my bruised nuts girl again, she's already in flower, about 2 weeks, so pics soon. She will be hit up with a little pollen too, from one of her trifoliar sons, the male that I'll use for the tri x tri experiment. He's been vegged, sexed, cut taken, revegged and rooted, then repotted and now flowering again, wonder how long it'll take him to drop pollen, assuming he does, (no girlie hairs anywhere even after those lighting changes).

GMT, yea I know the problem. I generally transfer all pics from the cam into my folder, then I'll open the first pic of the lot with Irfanview, resize that, and Irfanview saves to the desktop. So I've got the original in my folder, the small oneon the desktop ready for uploading, and once I've uploaded I delete the ones from the desktop. Not as much hassle as it sounds now I've written it down. 
Hi Alex, wish everything was available in one nice to use product. Actaully there will be, I'm just too tight to pay for it lol.
Hi Core, not sure, just got to wait and see. The timeline is unimportant anyway. They wont be sprouted until September now. At least thats the plan, but I'm not known for my patience.

well I pulled 30 (what look to be ) mature seeds from those buds last night, then cut the buds and put the smokey girl mum into 24 hour reveg light. Moved the next batch of tri youngens onto the edge of the flower room to see if they'll sex yet. Bruised nuts female is in the flower room flowering, tri to be used to breed is flowering, tri father to be used is flowering (in his own way), Rhino f2s are popping, Blockhead is in soak. So all caught up, dates logged for me, thread updated, oh yes picture, preposted in another thread, but still, a little repetition.
I notice you don't leave too much flower on the plants you are revegging 
If you could share some of your re-veg methods...that'd be great. I do see you use 24 hours lighting for re-veg. Is there a reason?
I thought this thread was closing to make way for a new GMT masterpiece?
Too lazy to start a new one eh?
I'll be back to fill my brain with more info

Hi Core, yeah that was at 6 weeks, I think that's gonna be the limit of lateness though, and I have yet to test the seeds out for things like later flower or prolonged flower time.
Hi TML,
yeah, when reveg starts, new shoots overlap each other as they come out of small bud formations, the more bud formations the more shoots. Gotto trim them down at some point, less buds means less to trim down. Also requires less from the plant to generate the shoots of growth that will be kept. But that's just my thinking. It also lowers the hight at which your new growth is starting from, therefore making it more manageable (sp?). In the past I've tried "wintering" them in semi darkness for a couple of weeks before reveging, but it doesn't seem to do anything other than cost a couple of weeks. For reveg, it is just sitting in the veg area about 9" from one 15w cfl and 18" from another one. The soil is not wet nor dry, the roots will be well throughout the pot so it should be ok without anymore water for ages now. I should at some point trim down the roots too, but I figure I'll leave it until new growth appears at the top of the plant before hacking at the bottom, just want to make sure its in growth mode first. I'll post a pic of that when I do it rather than just note the date if you're interested. The reason for 24 rather than 18 is that it means I don't have to turn anything on or off. Now I just wait. Not much to reveg really other than patience. Yeah the new thread lol. Well, I kinda did. I did the 3+3=? , well, I started it, lol. There's not much to post about that really, I'll update the pics of what happens in there and note the dates of tri stuff, but my 2 keepers so far aren't tri. I did also resurect a magical thread, that disappears for generations of threads, and then reshows itself under certain conditions. Only to disappear again. But other than that, I had a think about why I need a new thread. And decided I didn't. Besides, what title could be more apt for what I'm doing? (Rhetorical question, please don't answer lol.)
Hi Kooki, ya just reminded me to get the buds those seeds came out of, off the back of the tv. Yep, ya can have your cake and eat it, well ya know what I mean. How are your projects going?

I'm going to end up owing you a world of knowledge :smile:
Thanks for letting me pick your brain
Sounds like my methods aren't too far off from yours
Revegging my Blueberry now
I like this thread anyhow...and you're right...the thread title says it all...Lazy (smart) growing :smile:
