Yep 1 gallon. I don't need large plants. So no need for 5 gallons unless it's mother plant . So we using 1 gallon and 3 gallon for flowering. 2 ft plant is all hieght I can do. With lights I have. They strong lights . 1800 watts . And yes rocks . Why. Is cause water displacement. And water is disturbing around not in one spot.. and also I put firewood ashes on rocks in veg. And once in flowering for keeping them green.. and good chems for the soil. Same purpose of burning grass. Come back just as green as hell.. for ones don't know why I do that..

Thats why I generally stick to 3 plants in my 4x4 as I don't want it being too overcrowded that I can't get in to move the plants about. I've seen people put double the amount into the same size of tent lol not as much of a problem if they intend to keep the plants small. I always try to grow as big as I can.
Definitely, no plants is no good.

Yeah I can't get plant over 2 ft. Cause of my light so strong 1800 w with 12 lights in a convex glass and each one of them has 12 LED spectrum lights that give off massive amount of light.. crazy the power it has. They have fan motors on each unit inside to keep cool. Get hot as hell in there. U touch it and it's hot hot. I had to rewire it and put two separate switches so would not burn up. Making another one now. For smaller side. 4 lights going push about 600 w don't need heat with these lights.. got them 4 ft away from the plants and if any closer than 30 inches it would cook the tops...done. That before

Hiya - if you can lock the focus, then just move slightly back/forth until the focus is precisely where you want it
I find tripods bothersome to set up exactly for that reason, so I find it easier to brace myself against a wall or sit on a chair with my elbows on my knees
If you can't lock focus, focus just in front of your chosen ideal spot - the depth of field will extend to just behind where you focus and with a bit of practice you can judge the depth of field to exactly match the front and back of the subject
Zoom in to focus, then zoom out to frame the image will also improve accuracy, and always use flash where possible to sharpen the image, usually about 1/250 exp or less
Hope that makes sense

Thanks for the reply Growings.
Just noticing now that you replied.

I gave the microscope away, I stick to using the mobile phone now as its much easier for taking photo's. I use the loupe with my phone for close up trichome pics. Doesn't work the best but it still provides reasonable photos.

I agree with y'all. Not best in world but it works. And hard to hold straight. But better than bringing out my microscope is to big and bulky for that. It's big ass microscope one of those that can see plants cells. And microbe and sht.
