I couldn't agree more; long been a point of contention in my replies to others. My apologies for including the UFO pic and will try pulling this pair into more natural light in the future.
Things are much more camera friendly under my other lighting; the pair of no name natural light panels on my starter shelves cost about $20 each and work ideally for the task. With my routine they go from a solo cup size after about two weeks to these 1/2 gal and can work comfortably with LST up to six or eight weeks then they bump to 2 gal (as pictured in the earlier blurple shot).
