What does Geoflora look like? Is it in a pellet form?
I got the light lifter working Gee , it should make adjustments to the light with a full grow room a lot easier.

Dude that thing is awesome! Can it lift the one in the tree up and down?
Thanks GeeDude that thing is awesome! Can it lift the one in the tree up and down?
The one in the tree is lighter than the weight of this light
I reckon @Jon would find it handy

I sure could have used one with my last light. It was 65 pounds.
Yea this 1000w light is heavy too top poles on tent dip a little

It's a very cool product. I wonder how they make it?
You are welcome, G. Looks like you have two different techniques to experiment with. And a couple of weeks to experiment before harvest.Holy Moly lol. First off, to both of you, thanks for the time involved in those MOST EXCELLENT responses!You 2 should set up shop
Giving the ideas a whirl is exactly what you should do.
You betcha.
Oh, I apologize for the late response, I was not well last week. Very fatigued. Intense brain fog. Likely my cancer therapy acting up. I'm feeling better now.

Outstanding. I've often felt it is easier to learn manual settings, and thereby learn more about photography than spending days with a manual learning how to operate all the various auto settings.
Manual settings are a universal language.
I like all of your photos.
You might choose to overexpose for a certain effect, so maybe you shoot 4.5.
You should notice how that cola in the foreground becomes more in focus as you increase the f-stop. You are manipulating what is called Depth of Field (DOF) -- the area that is perceived in focus.
As I mentioned earlier, all may have some value. You appear to like keeping your highlights strictly in line. This is a photographic technique called Expose to the Right (ETTR). This makes you an excellent candidate for shooting and processing in the RAW format.

I'm glad you are feeling better. Cancer is a terrible evil. I hope your in a region with top notch treatment.
No hurry MGM, I really appreciate you helping me. Please don't let that be taxing on you. You take care of You 1st right now, that's how it has to be.
I'm still painting rooms for the Wife anyways so I haven't digested everything yet, but I understand F stops now
, so there is that
.I do need to brush up on it this week, as I would like to get the plants out of the tent at harvest and take some pictures under better light.
I just figured out last night that Manual Mode on this camera isn't really manual. I had to click a button on the lens to gain control of manual focus.
I think I can get in really close now. I couldn't get within 18" before. I will give it a go later today.
It doesn't actually increase pixels, but increases the data you have to work with. I've learned there is usually a couple of stops of data I find hidden in Raw files--either highlights or shadows -- that I can bring out when shooting RAW.
RAW is not a photo file. It is a data file that must be processed into a photo file.
The big deal with shooting RAW is gathering optimal data.
It also steals data through compression. Shadows and highlights that you can't get back.
The good news for @Gee64 is that his Samsung camera can store and process RAW files.

Oooooooooohhhh
. I did not know that. I was actually thinking I would need more software. I will figure raw out on my phone. If I can just swap the sd card straight from camera to phone, that would be a lot easier
.
Thank you, Gee.
Oh, I enjoy helping. It is one of the few things I can do that is taxing.
You have made a big step in learning and confidence.I'm still painting rooms for the Wife anyways so I haven't digested everything yet, but I understand F stops now
Hmmmm ... If you set to single-point auto focus you should be OK. You just want to be sure you hit what you are aiming at, rather than have the camera make that decision for you.
Good luck on your next effort.

A strange turn of events today.
Both Shorties are ripening way ahead of schedule. I think they will be ready for harvest tomorrow. Day 65.
I have had them ripe by Day 67 before, and it's usually the shorter ones, but not at Day 65. I wonder if it is the added calcium or the UV?
The tall one isn't far behind either, probably Day 67, and the final pheno, the one I think will have the best buzz, is still crystal clear on the trichs, so she should be normal.
Damn, that means I have to scramble to get a bud washing station set up, and a photo shoot area, and learn how to take photos lol. No pressure.

We had so many choices ... film stock. It didn't look anything out of the camera except a perforated plastic ribbon. We had to be chemists, choosing our developer, it's temperature and time in the soup to get the effects we wanted on the negative, and then to increase our control we chose our paper very carefully, we may have had dodging and burning tools to keep highlights and bring out shadows, and then into a very carefully set of soups they'd go to give us the proper amount of exposure, contrast, grain, shadow and highlight. We had a lot of tools and it took all day to use them. Today those tools are built into post-processing software to help us get the most out of optimally collected data.I'm a nostalgic old sod, I shoot digi same as film when we didn't have the option to post shoot edit apart from filters on the enlarger
Methinks I'm gettin old
Yes. I do remember the old days. Thank you for the trip down nostalgia lane.

You might need to download a special app. Here is a video about storing RAW files.Oooooooooohhhh
