Oh, no, thank you, Fish, for taking the time to read my nonsense. That's 5 minutes of your life you'll never get back! Don't forget - 10 pictures to go to finish thread. Save the best for last!As always a great read and full of knowledge! Great grow journal again! Thank you @longball
Great looking plants, longball. Sorry to hear about your camera
Just... you know, how you tell the story, what?

Afghan Haze - this one is for @Apollo who inspired me to take these trichome pictures. I really like this one as it is so easy to see the red pistils going into the pretty purple calyxs. These plants were unseeded so you can see the calyx have many more trichomes in an effort to attract male pollen. And they are all nice and ripe and ready to be plucked. And pluck I did. Hopefully, next year I will be back on my 'A' game and grown some really nice plants. My photography teacher does not smoke but I got him really interested in trichome photography. Much different than his wedding photography. We have been discussing equipment and such that I will need for this macro photography project.

Awesome pics and plants @longball quality looking herb, haha never to many seeds its always fun popping seed you made yourself I'm sure you will have some worthwhile contenders for your frankenstrain projectI will finish up this years grow with this last batch of pictures. Easily the worst grow I've done. However, I bought a REALLY nice lens so everything looks really beautiful. My previous grows were much better but with a cheap point and shoot I was never able to capture the true beauty of my grows. And there is the old adage - 'One man's worst grow could be another man's best grow'. Grown outdoors mostly, but bought indoors on cold, miserable, days.
One of the Afghan Hazes I grew.

More Afghan Haze with a few seeds getting ready to fall out. @eazynz - ya can never have too many seeds! Hardly any trichomes on the seeded calyx's. The unseeded calyx pictures coming up will have tons of trichomes.

Early Queen - one of the reasons I grow Early Queen each season.

Another reason I grow Early Queen each year. All plants look and smell different. Geraniol is the most common smell I get with Early Queen and I love it.

The rest are various pictures of Afghan Haze. Pretty much only grew this and Early Queen this year and 1 Critical Kush plant. For these pictures I am practicising on trichomes with a lens not really made for it but some came out great. Enjoy. And don't forget to grow some Afghan Haze. It's really easy to grow!
