I'm a huge fan of cannabis photography, but if a picture says a thousand words, a video says a million! My Reclining Buddha females are budding out, including a new generation of seeds. They smell incredible. Please enjoy this video update, powered by LBRY / Odysee:

For more views, including some closeps, check out these short clips: https://images.hive.blog/DQmc1Yy6Spe19jKMsTGqbd5dMzGzPPqHdzXgXjBzqkpujaa/c.gif Here's a continually-looping GIF of my virgin (unpollinated) female. She's dancing in the breeze and hoping for pollen (which she won't find): https://images.hive.blog/DQmZMRYi7iES6pfhrJFrw9CoERA4GN8c19R1jiFf17CCWrk/a.gif And here she is again, from her legs to her wild blonde hair: https://images.hive.blog/DQmRxZcLJ4xcjvnTbiLSb7osi5trFXi9iYCUdMW785WGvYH/b.gif

Moving on...

... to an unpollinated branch of another plant: https://images.hive.blog/DQmYvKdx7PcsbmDSL7gTfvBQyLx35SC2xFYFe8DAQc4B5cc/d.gif Now a foliage check, and look at a pollinated branch: https://images.hive.blog/DQmShRJnm7f5aafD8VYV8dkQFcTsMBtmKiBxdeK3wnk6SZ7/e.gif The leaves are fully-developed, lush, a nice dark green, and free of pests, mold, nutrient burn, or deficiencies! That's what worm poop and tapwater can produce if you do things properly. How about a closer look at those developing seeds and calyxes: https://images.hive.blog/DQmQpSkwHuNpwWgjhquP7FFNC4URt8J5kkYR2PgGVtLfs7U/seeeds.gif I think I'll get about 50 viable babies from these gorgeous girls. Trichome deployment looks good, and they're filling in well: https://images.hive.blog/DQmYTmYQCa8EsCn1ShZoEfWsjjG7x5JY7esuU2iB83p5Ssw/f.gif Trichomes are tiny orbs of waxes and oils, including cannabinoids and terpenes. They are where the smell, flavour, and effect of cannabis comes from. Where the magic happens. Here are some trichomes from a Steem OG plant I grew on the blockchain a couple years ago: https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPoJXxeWj3ZFuvm2z8kaSKxQCRsDLikkNKYKxnrqk1ULq/zoom%20a%20bit.jpg Now a closer look at the trichomes on these Reclining Buddhas: https://images.hive.blog/DQmP5QFv5Exu5XwBs1wBS8fUpuC7JRVQ42w8iJWxF3s7zKi/g.gif 4 weeks until harvest! These trichomes will be even bigger, and many will have darkened in colour.

More photos

Why not finish up with a few more new snaps? I was experimenting with some flash photos and different lighting. A few turned out nicely: https://images.hive.blog/DQmSMA2iK6SDVcXcWyPtjLyVHTtWpKwPuLXKE3VHgAUpM6y/ad.JPG Here's a comparison of the same shot - one with regular light, and one using only flash: https://images.hive.blog/DQmUBpTQbnQ7Qdp1q6XA9ue2sGYLE8UwrdcDfBVeHYQADmP/ab.JPG https://images.hive.blog/DQmSjdU9MCx9f6896oV6yLzQYpqxuSgSjiK8fKwEhibZ5zu/ac.JPG I don't know if I'll take pictures this way often, but it's certainly an option. What do you think? Thanks for stopping by my garden! https://images.hive.blog/DQmUv5hMem8hA6NfeX7eUT7uDrtf5z5mfGnKo2DW43ZRbe2/aa.JPG You can join LBRY and follow me for more exclusive video content.
