Maryland Leaf - The Flower Issue

For this year's Flower Issue, we wanted to switch things up from our traditional slate of grow tours. We took a bunch of fire nugs down to the Maryland Connoisseur studio for a shoot with the professional and talented Greg Malcolm. Using image stacking and ultra-macro photography, Greg was able to show off the individual details and trichome forests of every single nug we shot. Dante's Inferno by Fade Co. spoke to us when we examined the buds, basically under a microscope. The lovely bud structu...
