Lol..sounds like you had an awesome new years!! The light-box appears to have been a worthwhile project - the pics turned out quite nice, and I learned a ton in the process.. I'll try to get some more similar pictures of the VK harvest...stay tuned!

Yeah, I wish I lived right on the west coast... we're about 15 hrs east of there.

Right on TCB! Glad to have 'convinced' you! It looks like I'll be growing 100% TGA gear for the forseeable future...so far there's simply been no comparison to others we've grown in the past.

Thanks so much Sub! I got 'Dank' and 'Dank 2.0' for Christmas and have been studying your work quite intensely these past 3-4 months especially. It's an honor to have you look in on my grow, and I look forward to years of similar 'insane' results like this as I continue to grow and show-off your awesome gear!!

Thanks man - yep, stay tuned for some more glam shots next week from the VK harvest. After having a close look at that plant this eve, I cut the scrog strings and removed the screen from my tent completely - she got a good flush with fresh RO water and is ramping up for one hell of a big harvest day! Her fans kinda look like she had some acid-rain issues or something with all the necro setting in from cutting back her nutes and the past cal/mag def... but the buds are spectacular looking, with dark purple sugar-leaves and some crazy foxtailing...the pics will be something else!

hi dayzt great grows man ,I would like to ask you a quick question if possible what process do you use to clean your hydroton?, ive been doing a few WF grows and im finding it hard to get all the tiny root matter off the hydroton
tks and enjoy the VK i grew it out and it tasted great out the volcano!!

Excellent man, excellent

Damn Datyz!!!
That is some serious bud porn!

Cant wait for those VK shots

really nice looking and great pictures ....

i too like the silky blue sheets ... however i don't think they'd go with my curtains

GASP!!!!! So harvest is FINALLY over, and we're so happy to be done! Our house has been a mini trim factory for the past week and a half, but today I took the plastic off the table for the last time...and it feels great to be finished.

So I've got TONS of pics to go through and get ready to post here - January 6,7 & 8th were all amazing pic days so I'm going to release the final harvest pics in this journal in 3 parts - one part for each of those days. The Ace of Spades pic were all posted last weekend, but this time it's all VK... maybe I'll do a collage at the end of everything as well, to round this all up...

Part 1 - Jan 6th - Vanilla Kush Glam & Trimming Shots - Lightbox Setup Shots

- These shots turned out no too bad. Notice these buds are SO coloroful...orange, lime green and dark purple everywhere. A few of these have some cool orange hairs on them that look like flames swirling off the tops...quite stunning.





- These foggy ones were taken using a special ISO and aperture, and was setup in the lightbox.




- Here's some freehand shots - some were part-way through timming. These buds were extremely dense and juicy...








- Here's my home-made lightbox and tripod setup. It's a beginners attempt at trying to get some diffused lighting effects with a colored backdrop. I guess people use setups like these to take product pics for posting on eBay and such... lots of tutorials online to make them - I found it was worth the time and money... I'll likely use it for future harvests and get some new backgrounds for other strains...exciting!




That's it for part I - stick around for part II coming in the next few days....

Bravo Bravo Bravo.Mr Daytz Arnt You The Cool Cat.Thaking A Photo Of The Camera That Takes The Photo Of Your BEAUTIFUL BUDS!!!I Will Be Updating My Thread Tomorrow.Oh And Lower Res Doesnt Raise Ppm's But Thank You.That Was 1 Of Mine Thoughts Also I Was A Tad High On My Nute Solution.Peace And Hair Grease

Bloody hell, not only a great grower but a skilled photographer at the same time!

PS. Must spread some rep blah blah blah

Wow! Beautiful Dayzt! I'm really surprised to see all of those different colors/hues in the VK... very tasty! /drool

love it mayn... i agree very nice colorations, how is the smell though bro?

Looks great! I am about to harvest some VK in the next couple days. Haven't read your whole journal so I apologize if this was covered, but how long did they take to flower? On attitude seeds where I bought the seeds it said 55-60 days I think and I am well over that and still not quite there.

This VK went 65 days of flower. This is the second time we've grown VK and the first time was in soil and the pheno was much different. This one turned super orange and bright lime colors - and it also had a deep purple tint on the leaf tips toward the end.

The (VK) smell is deep and citrusy kind of floral though at the same time. The buds are like thick sponges of stickiness...I'm guessing these will dry into some nice solid-rock nugs.

This is only my second waterfarm grow - the first one ended while I still had the chance to take it all out in the yard and hose-down. I just filled a bucket with clean water and dumped in the hydroton and hand-washed/rinsed it from there. It's a shit-load of work, no doubt - and letting it soak for a time before scrubbing them may help. But since it's winter here now, I'll have to do all that cleanup in the bathub somehow - shouldn't be too hard though. Hope that helps!

Nice work dude! +

brilliant dayzt!!!! absolutly amazing pictures and top notch quality bud porn. true grower bro! +rep hommie.

Thanks again guys! Here's Part II of the VK harvest.

Part 2 - Jan 7th - More Vanilla Kush Glam Shots, hanging buds, clamp-stands etc..

- Here's 3 pics of the same bud - still learning to setup lighting in the lightbox, and finding a few different effects along the way! This bud shows how some of the tops on this plant foxtailed more and more towards the end. This plant has the orangest hairs I've even on fresh, wet bud. Through the dry and into cure, it's maintaining a surprisingly orange color as well..





- Some nice snaps of fresh bud as we were trimming. Again, very orange hairs on this girl and squishy-thick texture to the buds.










- We made a great discovery this harvest = these little clamps I picked up at Lowe's to rest my scrog screen on - they make excellent branch-holders for trimming. It's so much easier to hold onto the clamp as you're trimming... and as you see in the following pics, they also make great stands. I've always hated to lay-down stalks of bud on my trimming table, and now we don't have to worry about it. HIGHLY recommended!! Here's a few snaps of them in action (these are being used with the AoS bud btw)...






...and a few more group shots...






...well, that wraps up part II - stay tuned for the last part coming soon!

Amazing shots Dayzt!!

you've set the bar so high...
I cant imagine my vk growing up to be so beautiful
