The State of the Flower
Hi I'm Shane the sole person running VapeTheBud.com and have been taking photos and reviewing cannabis for over five years on the Lift & Co review platform. As of July 2019 I started a website to make it easier for the community to read my reviews in more detail and adding quality photos.
As a medical cannabis patient the cost of cannabis per month has reduced my allowable monthly spend on other things that some may consider a hobby. I would like to buy a microscope that will take unimaginable photos of the flower rarely seen and would love to have an album full of these photos to show the magnification of the flowers in our regulated market.
Why?
Seeing trichomes extremely up close will show the colour of them and help determine if they were harvested too early, too late or just right! This affects the output in effects said by many, as dark amber trichomes may represent a late harvest and lead to stronger couch lock feelings.
I’m currently using a cheap Amazon product to show the detail (640x480 resolution) and the quality is fairly poor compared to what I could capture . The cost is $363.99 + tax for the microscope and $135.99 + tax for the Nikon camera adapter (total cost $564.98 with taxes).
An example is provided below.
Thank you to those that have donated and supported me so far. I didn't expect to reach my previous goal so quickly. I also want to thank those that have shared my previous GoFundMe. To those that can't donate due to financial or personal reasons, I understand we all have budgets and know you still support me. It means a lot having you support my work with inspiring words or even having a brief chat about cannabis. Thank you again, I'm beyond grateful.
