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).
I'm going to have to seriously increase my rate of consumption to dull the psychological torture of current events; there's supposed to be a rainbow after every storm but how do you enjoy a rainbow when you've gouged out your eyes?
As the final guard of my back up band these in 1/2 gal have another few weeks on the back burner and the sure fire way to forestall outgrowing the confines of my starter shelves is culling a fresh batch of clones. My batch from the Lazy Eyed Susan will be generated at the end of the month to begin the experiment on the potential of misshapen mutants.
