For the love of god, turn off the blurple lights and use a flash!!!

cjsbabygirl313 · Mar 17, 2018

I’m a newbie here myself, so please understand I am saying this with the BEST of intentions!

When taking pics of your plants, turn OFF the blurple lighting and use the flash on your camera! It makesnit sooo much easier for everyone to actually see the plants and to help diagnose any problems if you are having issues. Plus the pictures are just soooo much easier on the eyes folks.

It only takes a few seconds to do it right!!!

Agreed

Around 8$ can get ya a clamp light w/ reflector, toss a CFL or two in for 10-12$ tops (Wally world, home depot, or lowes if in the states). Just dont forget to turn your blurple back on :weed:

My point was you don’t even need to do that much

I agree using flash is way better than blurple!

Flash

vs.
Clamp reflector

Aw cmon. how else am I to make purple weed? -joke-

I used to take pics with the blurple on. Now I've got Vero 3500k chips.

not that anybody needs my help, but i dont even look at threads with effed up lighting, such a waste of time.

then more time wasted asking for decent pics.

it's definitely the insta-generation.

...but it's the sign of a great grower...being able to diagnose a plant in purple light.

Blurple will give you eye cancer.
At least looking at pictures of it.

For real. In one if the sticky threads it says to turn off hps and blurple leds to take pics.

We need natural light to help diagnose plant problems.

Seems like common sense but the average help thread pic is one leaf with a yellowed tip or calcium spots and usually purple.

I would get eye boogers. From staring unblinking transfixed on the blurple light. Lol

Yeah, it's like when people put up UV bulbs at parties thinking it will look cool, and you just end up looking at their teeth all night.

There is a thread title like this every few weeks here. Doesn’t seem to help.

Why is there no common sense used when someone is asking for help? Seems silly.

Oh well, I tried ;-)

And yeah - a little bit of common sense would go a loooooong way!
