Tips for Best Results

Follow these guidelines to get the most accurate strain identification

Good Lighting

Natural daylight or bright indoor lighting works best. Avoid harsh shadows or direct flash.

Multiple Angles

Take a primary photo of the whole bud, then optionally crack it open for an interior shot to see trichomes inside.

Clear Focus

Get close enough to see trichomes and detail, but keep the entire bud in frame.

Clean Background

Place bud on a solid, contrasting background. White or black works great.

Steady Shot

Hold your phone steady or use a surface for support to avoid motion blur.
