re: 480W & 720W Grow LED Hydro - Land Of Clovers I would too, but not the cost of adding lenses, which is cheap with my S3. I really don't know why I resist the idea of getting an SLR so much. maybe I'm in denial. I'm going to borrow one and see whattup ;)

re: 480W & 720W Grow LED Hydro - Land Of Clovers I hate using tripods, that's why I've only used one a couple times in years. The key to hand-held photography is bracing. If you learn how to brace yourself, you hardly ever need a tripod with a camera that does image-stabilization well...

I still have them, they're dark and shiny, and I'll journal the grow whenever I get around to trying to sprout them.

re: 480W & 720W Grow LED Hydro - Land Of Clovers I've noticed that trichs can be at different stages of maturity on different buds, but I haven't observed what you mention above. I usually snip a sugar leaf when I take the trich pics that I post, and I read a post from someone who said...

re: 480W & 720W Grow LED Hydro - Land Of Clovers that's really the best way for taking pics. I think what I'm going to do in the future for pics is to put an 85w 6500k CFL in a clamp light, turn off the grow lights, and just use that for pics. I don't think turning the grow lights...

re: 480W & 720W Grow LED Hydro - Land Of Clovers oh schnaps! lol

re: 480W & 720W Grow LED Hydro - Land Of Clovers if the *color* is too far off, other quality criteria are immaterial, you're not going to be able to correct it by post-processing. that's why pre-processing has worked so much better for me. I haven't used an auto white-balance camera yet...

re: 480W & 720W Grow LED Hydro - Land Of Clovers If you have enough space where you don't need the increased efficiency of using squares instead of circles, why pay for the pots? New 5gal buckets here aren't all that much less, though.

re: 480W & 720W Grow LED Hydro - Land Of Clovers Actually, on second thought, I have played around with trying to correct yellow HPS pics with software, and at least with the software I was using, I couldn't get the results I wanted. but that was at least a couple years ago, and editing...

re: 480W & 720W Grow LED Hydro - Land Of Clovers thanks for the info sonzor, and I have not played around with software white-balance correction, so I'll retract my "deal-breaker" comment :thankyou:

LMAO! thanks, I needed that ;)

re: 480W & 720W Grow LED Hydro - Land Of Clovers also, for what we do, you *really* want a camera that has manual white balance adjustment, so that you can correct for yellow HPS, pink LED, etc. In fact, for what we do, lack of manual white balance when you're looking for a decent camera...

re: 480W & 720W Grow LED Hydro - Land Of Clovers There is another choice, but will get increasingly harder to get. The older Canon S3 IS, which is a 12x and the flagship superzoom for Canon a few years ago, has the ability to accept accessory macro lenses. There's a ring on the front of the...
