I'm working on cleaning, etc., and getting some macros snapped. The ganja appears to me to be wulung, but I'm not sure if the gap is due to a mismatched replacement ganja or to the blade shrinking...

Kai, here's a close up. I got this from processing the original comparison shot, but can take more photos if necessary.
