Hi there Star Crash
About this
I wear glasses as well. I have myopia
Do you wear glasses because of presbyopia or for other motives?
In my case, myopia has never been a real problem because I always wore contact lenses since I am a kid
But lately I got presbyopia and I cant read properly or look at tiny stuff anymore with my contact lenses or glasses on.
But I am discovering thanks to growing what always seemed to be a disadvantage it is turning into an advantage
Without glasses or contact lenses I have a very different focus and for tiny stuff vision from close is incredibly acute. It is kind of inverted focus from normal vision
The first tool I used was pictures and putting them on a bigger screen to see the plants. When I saw it works I bought the mobile I am using now because I never took pictures in my life and never cared for them and I had a cheap mobile phone with low quality picture.
Just one day I discovered by chance that looking without glasses or lenses on is the best for me when looking at plants. So since I have discovered this I am hardly using contact lenses anymore. But I do still project pictures because sometimes I find stuff I didnt see alive when looking at the plant

Hey ladies and gentlemen sorry I’ve been slacking on my own thread ha ha
hi funky
It’s been because of HPS lights for almost 25 years has definitely hurt my vision , I’m very careful about sunglasses in the grow room now especially because I’m going vertical bulbs again… I agree with what you say about using pictures to help identify what’s going on with the plants, that’s one of the reasons I post so much
I’ve got a shit ton to do today , plant some clones, trim some Chem D,regular garden maintenance (which is a bitch and I’m not complaining) spend some time with the dogs , do some food shopping etc. party .
every day!
every day!
It’s a dogs life

Looks dank man, hows the shmell?
Either Or, doesn't matter just grow.
I knocked about 300 off my elec bill and increased my yield, in my circumstances.

Smells really good slightly sweet I’m crap @ describing smell though …I’m attracted to the electrical savings w/LED But so far they seem really expensive for the good ones I need a lot of coverage

The ones I use I believe are kingbrite imports.
A board costs $300 aussie semolians and achieve 1000 PAR over 60cm x 80cm or like 2ft x 2.5ft. I measured it myself.
240w, and the brightness lasts years I read. I've measured 1 year old 1000watt HPS lamps compared to new ones and the drop off is significant.
A good HPS lamp is $100 here. Things are much more expensive, the equipment, the elec, and its hotter, so the ac. And I have to use cooltubes. Its sucks.

Think I’m paying 100 bucks each for hortilux 1000 w lamps
If Star signs off on LED..... best believe Im making the leap also! Get a harvest with either your Runtz or Mac bro.... tell me it works and its just as good or better.... Ive been eyeing this switch for a minute as well ...
