I made the decision to flush my plants, couldn't get pH up and thought healthy variety of nutes have been supplied, growth was stunted.

Point being it was the first time I'd looked at my girls under normal lighting. Massive difference. May have been misjudging all along.

That is an insane difference in color, which in turn heavily affects judging what nutrients the plan does or doesn't need. I couldn't believe it!!

Yeah, I knew I couldn't be the only person to say it. But I like having visuals, and figured it might be good to through up mine for any other new feller that like me, was taking pics his whole grow under grow LED's lol.

I've noticed my plants look waaaaay better when I pull them out of the LED tent. I didn't think much about it as soil growing has taught me not to panic. Most of the problems I have addressed were visible by moonlight at 100 paces!

Doesn't seem like folks around here get too militant about pictures under modern LEDs. But it's good to know I'm not the only one to notice a difference.

It would depend on the led chips used, as some have very high colour rending(cri). They are used as standard now for lighting high definition cams when filming. The k (eg 4000k,5000k) makes a difference in hiw acurate the colours are seen aswell. Good led grow lights usually have quite a high colour rendering but we use alot more red heavy lighting, usually below 4000k. They usually use around 4000-5000k or something when filming as the more blue is more like natural sunlight and is more crisp.

If your taking pictures some settings probably need to be changed when using bright led to get crisp acurate colouring and pictures.

What light is that under? My full spectrum Vivosun lights don't do that to my plants, i just checked. Like all camera flashes are led now. I think with modern lights, lights on pics are actually way better than lights off pics. I also have 50MP camera on a flagship phone so that could have something to do with it as well.
