geez... Seriously? Pressing the white balance button on your camera once? Oh well... Guess I'm too lazy to help...

On a good note, those roots look nice... Can't tell if they're white though... Just giving you a hard time...

here you go shady, I changed the settings on my camera. I had to take it off AUTO and put it on HIGH SENSITIVITY then pick INCANDESCENT white balance. Hey! That's three buttons! hah hah it does a pretty good job of changing the orange into a slightly yellowish tint. The camera shows a little spectrum readout to help with the colour correction. Check it out!

Oh I see the plants have grown since this morning!

Plants are getting big! Nice job Joe... As for the camera, there are preset white balance settings like the incandescent one you selected, but there is also a custom setting that works better...

Here's a tutorial that I wrote which should help explain things in more detail:

Sorry Shady, camera is lacking a custom white balance. It's a sony DSC T-10. The Zeiss lense makes it handy for snapping microscope photos.

Hey Joe I use a Sony too....see if the Twilight Portrait (shoots portraits in lowlight with flash)

For some reason my cam takes normal looking pics under HPS on that setting. If you dont have that setting or it doesnt work, take one pic on every setting and see if any work under HPS.

no worries Joe! The good news is that your plants look good regardless...

allright! I'm really pumped for this grow, the plants are getting big. I broke the roots off one of my IP clones, so it didn't like that. New roots are forming already so, it shouldn't stunt it...much. Meanwhile, the ones I didn't beat up are growing nicely. There's great root and bubble action going on! As an intermission, I'll go over my rules of growing:
1) control the environment; this includes temperature and humidity. 20C/35%RH never go over 30C/50%RH
2) always check for bubbles. Sometimes, even a good air hose gets clogged, make sure it's bubbling good every 2 days.
3) Never...EVER bring anything in from outside. I'm talking about plant material! No lame tomatoe plants, no other stupid clones. No roses...grapes...spearmint...pelargoniums. Everything in the room must originate from the room. Pests will come on outside plant vectors.
4) Keep things clean - wading through piles of leaves on the floor? sweep it up.
5) Leave the plants alone! They don't appreciate molestation, they grow much better with a relaxed attitude towards their growth. IF you're always adjusting this or that or the other thing every day, take a step back.
In no time there will be massive trees in your room, pumping kilos of weed.

and the entire veg room.

Sweet shots... I love root porn!

here you can see more root growth. The plants are growing fine too, but not as tall as they should be imho. Hopefully they'll get taller and not as wide the growth is very compact. The original plant was 4 feet tall.

[JoeCrowe]

 

they are about 12 inches tall so far. There's a slight red on the ends of the stem supporting the leaf. It might need some nutrients soon, we'll see how it progresses from here.
