My new lens came today.
It's working pretty good,..

Pretty Also pretty cool

Pretty Also pretty cool

Thanks

The lens is pretty good quality and it is a coated glass lens.

I could have bought a different lens for the same price but I don't need all the other lenses.

I figured if I bought just the single lens, then it might be better quality?

It is still kinda hard to hold my phone still, but if I attach the tripod and just hold it, it reduces the shaking.

I could put the plants on my table and set up the tripod beside the plant, but I'm worried about messing with the plants too much and dropping them or something.

And I don't have to be wasted for that accident to happen. Lol

Closet plant,..

 

[PCBuds]

The window plant is 11½ weeks old but she seems to have a lot of clear trichomes and I don't think that I see any amber trichomes?

And I've still got some bottom flowers that have a long way to go.

Both are chunkin up nicely, reikox has some good genetics.

Yeah !!
With Reiko's quality genenetics combined with my copious amount of lighting, we've got some big chunky plants growing. Lol

 

[Frosty Nuggets]

Now you need some gravy to go with those chunks.

Beware of bud rot. Keep the air circulating, those big buds hold on to moisture.

OK.
I'm going to go buy another fan.

I do have a computer fan inside the closet, but it probably isn't enough.

 

[PCBuds]

There we go,..
$17 with the tax.

I do have the exhaust fan, but I haven't had it on for this plant.
I didn't want to blow the heat and CO2 out of the closet.

This is the second fan that I put there in the closet.
The first one went into my kitchen to blow on the window plant.

With a flashlight shining on it,..

With the cameras flash,..

Those clip-on fans are great. Keep the receipt though. If you get past a year, think about oiling the back bearing as regular preventative maintenance. If that fan breaks for any other reason than a failed rear bearing, I will buy you another. They all fail the same way. The front one does alright in the more turbulent air. The back one gets hot, a little dry, then stiff, then really hot. Turns the oil to tar and can't be recovered. Mech oil can give a few more months to a dead fan, but once cooked.. it's cooked.
I have meant to put service holes in the rear covers for spraying oil in. Somehow they always get put into service before I have chance.
When they do fail, keep the clip. Desk versions are often easier (cheaper) to find. Just move the clip across. Also, these are greasy plastic. They often drop, and tightening can bust them. Just pull the bolt out and put in a paper washer. Stop the greasy surfaces having to grip each other.

Yup.
I've had this fan apart twice to clean and oil it,.. It's about 3 years old.

Dust and dirt gets on the fan blade as well as in the vents for the motor and on the bearing.
I cut the shroud off to ease the stress on motor and luckily my cat knows better than to stick her nose in it.




This one is about a year old and hasn't been apart yet but hasn't been used that much.

It's in the kitchen near the stove where there is dust and vaporized cooking grease so the dirt is dark and sticky.

I screwed through the clip to screw it to the wall which is cumbersome to do and undo, but I can separate the clip and fan head to get it off to clean it.
I'll clean and oil it after my window plant finishes.



This is the fan that I bought yesterday.
I didn't connect the clip to it and just set it on the table.

It has a base that clips on to the clip, but it's too big and the planter hits it, then isn't centered in the closet.

I think that I'll cut the shroud off the kitchen fan too.
That way I can easily clean the blades and I don't get crap caught on the shroud.

I'm going to try to remember to turn the fan off while I'm cooking so that I don't blow greasy vapor onto my plant.

I don't think that weed that tastes like pork chops and fried chicken would taste very good?
It probably wouldn't improve the terpine profile. Lol

 

[f-e]

I have heard of weed that tastes like just about everything else. Might as well add fried chicken to the list

Shame to buy a clip fan and have to screw through it. Some have a keyhole, but it's time consuming to add keyhole hangers yourself, when the fan is fine just screwed there

Well, they have bacon flavored vodka, so fried weed might be OK. Lol

Yeah, mine has got the keyhole and I used that one too, but it wasn't snug enough to hold the clip from rotating, so I screwed in a second screw.

I wanted to aim the fan away from the wall a bit and if I rotated the fan head, the clip would just rotate on the screw.

The fan isn't going anywhere now unless the plastic clip breaks.

Imitation bacon flavoured vodka?
So Tea then? lol



30%... Yep. That's imitation alright
Probably distilled from the worlds hand-wash mountain. Now covids over. Isn't over. Might be over.
