Can you turn them off for a few mins? I know HID takes a while to re-fire, but are LED's the same way?

I keep two CFLs in my Bloom Tent for the purpose of taking pics. I just flip the LED panel off before snapping.
Nope...

Yeah They fire up right away pretty much, no worrying about warming up the bulbs.
I will do this for sure when next grow comes around just to have some nice pics for now i guess i could try get max light into the room and see how that looks. Inc...

Okay so I had a look at what i could do and it looked no bueno so i decided to go with flash looks okayish meh, I'll get around to taking pics of them when i water them and have them infront of the window so you can see them with some natural light. Ill get around to uploading them later, frustrating with this onion browser sometimes haha, gives you memories of the internet speed a few years ago with upload speeds

Update 29.07
Okay so I messed around a bit on photoshop as well and balanced out the light in the led pics let me know what you think. The little parts in the leaves and such that are ultra exposed is where there was water on the leaves and in photoshop the balancing messed with that but you get the overall picture. Let me know what mix of pics you like more. There are ones with flash as well from my s4.

I Think the photoshop edit is what some of the other guys are doing because it looks rather similar

You are too kind my new friend, welcome to the grow. There are some fellow growers popping by that show far more greatness but i guess thats what you meant by pool hahaha. I did a touch of defol here and there i could not but help my self clean up some things and supper crop some branches again and show them whos their daddy, Also I tied down Amnesia shes rooted well and proved a bit feisty this however did open up the lower budsites and as WW1 is sitting leading towards the tent this gives me room to do this with the Amnesia. Depending on how much more growth we get i might tie over the WW1 inwards a bit making a slight spiral as she does seem to be leaning a lot to her sativa side and has the most stretch out of all of them. Little up date on the WW2 that i failed to top turns out it kinda did top and there are two main minimi buds going one larger than the other. Was thinking about doing some backbuilding what light addict has a guide on most of these buds seems legit hahaha sorry im pretty baked right now
I like them both Maxi but prefer the natural looking pics. Now, about this Photoshop business; Not anywhere in my farthest imagination am I implying that you would make your plants appear nicer than they really look but do you think a lot of members are using PS? If that's the case maybe a lot of us are fixing our plants imperfections with this tool. Now I'm skeptical. It never crossed my mind until now that some of us may be PSing our girls.
If members are doing this though it only helps members such as myself strive to grow nicer & healthier looking plants.

Nono I dont do anything to try and make them look better, what I do is I change the color exposure to take out the purple tint that the led gives off. Then I try to get the exposure as close to natural and looking like they really do. Really good cameras can change that some how too and make it seem natural.
I dont do anything to make them look anything from what they look like.

Hey so there are one or two plants in there that like 20 hours and the other 18 so i set a bit of a compromise and am giving them 19 going to turn it down to 18 in 1 week. As for what I do with the bottle in the middle is change it out every 3 days and give it a shake ever day, whats in it: Sugar, Yeast, Baking Soda, i have the yeast and baking soda in little packages from the supermarket so i just use one per bottle and id say roughly 1/2 a cup to 2/3 of a cup sugar and some hot water. Close off the bottle give it a good shake and place where desired, you should be able to feel pressure building if you put your finger on the hole. Hope that helps, yeah im not looking to be going 100 days haha i got other shit to grow
THanks for stopping by.Good Weed to you jaga

Yes normally you would change to 12/12 but seeing as these are autos they get full light regardless of the stage.

We change auto's to 12/12 to give the budding hormone a better chance to build up. Auto's have the same hormone to produce bud's as photo's. They just have an added ability to build up the hormone during light hours that photo's don't.
And the reason why no-one has not tried to give Maxx too much advice, is because he is growing somewhat of an un-known to most of us. Auto clones from a specific location.
For example, if he was growing one of the Auto strains I have grown before, I would make comments and tell him what I have done to increase yields. But Maxx also has his own experience to draw from. And yes, he knows what he is doing.
Sorry about the tangent Maxx, I just wanted to explain why I'm going 12/12 on an auto. And I know it's not the same as photo's.
p.s. No harm meant guerillahaze. Hope i didn't come off as aggressive in my responce.

My plan was to scale it down a bit but the buds from last grow under 18/6 were quite good so never had an issue, i did know that some people go 12/12 but i know some that leave it on 23-24 hours so i dono its debatable in many aspects do you want more light or more hormones more photosynt or more hormones haha i dono what its all about id be interested to learn further regarding this debate of whether is better for autos and if its strain dependent no idea to be honest.
