This morningās photo, with labels added. I watered them after the photo, as I had let them dry out slightly over the past few days. Iām pretty happy with their progress so far.

Starting to thrive! When they dry out a bit again Iāll hit them with some GO Diamond Black.

As you can see, the CBDream (refer to labels in earlier photo) is āsucking the hind titā. Not a lot of vigour in that one.
The CBDream x CK are doing really well, however! The anticipation of getting some high CBD buds out of those is getting me excited!
And look at those fat leaves on the Northernberries. By far the most indica-dominant in this tent.

This morningās pic:
They just got a lighting upgrade (addition of 5 Citizen 3500k COBs at 36w each). My camera phone canāt quite figure out the white balance. Plants are happy, though.

The fam is loving the COBlurple so far! CBDream got past its rough spot, apparently. One of the Northernberries is looking a little grumpy. Probably a female. 
Not bad growth since 3 days ago.

Todayās photo. Phone camera got the white balance wrong again. They actually look just as green and healthy as they did in the last photo.

Can you not alter the white balance after the fact in an app on your phone? May not get you to perfection but it may balance it a touch. Or even switch off the blurple for pics and keep your cobs running as theyāre likely a white light?

I actually wasted 90 minutes the other day downloading shitty app after shitty app and trying them. Every single one of them useless. I promised myself to avoid that type of time-wasting about 4 years ago, and there I was re-lapsing back into my old ways.
Iām a disgruntled geek who hates technology after doing nothing but that shit for 2 and a half decades. Fuck it.
If I had time, Iād use one of my dSLRs, set a custom white balance, and then transfer and upload proper photos with perfect white balance and exposure.
Perhaps better to do that once a week, than to throw shitty pics at you folks every two days or so?

I waste a lot of my days doing that kinda stuff. But itās all for the love of the plant. Is it possible to have your cobs on and not the blurple for photos? The photo from your white widow grow is spot on. What did you do different there? DSLRās and PS editing is way more messing about. I spent most of my time with a Nikon d3200 transferring files from SD cards to PCās. 
You could write a thousand words in a post on OG but photos bring the traffic so keep them coming as often as you like

The COB heat sinks rely on air flow from the blurple - but I guess it wouldnāt matter for a few seconds.
No Photoshop for me. I do my best to take the photos correctly, shoot in RAW, have a few fast presets (for contrast, sharpening, NR, etc.) in my RAW converter - then straight out to JPEG. It is an incredibly efficient workflow by necessity. My wife and I used to shoot weddings, portraits, etc. (still do, once in a while). No way in hell we could make Photoshop a part of the process or people would be waiting months for their images. The WW shot is from my phone camera, shot through my green sunglasses (under blurple-only lighting).
Time to get one of the dSLRs outā¦

Didnāt bother to take a pic this morning since the last one was from last evening. Will likely start doing evening pics from now on.
Anyway, these plants are starting to stink more and more every day!

Thanks mate!
Have you ever seen a plant do what that Northernberry (farthest right edge) is doing?
Its sibling (above left of it) is sort of doing it too, but not as much.
All of the other strains are as happy as pigs in shit.

Yes mate I have seen it a fair few times. Go back to the start of my jezzaberry bloom diary they pretty much all looked like that. But the ones that showed it the most. Weāre directly in the firing line of photons. Is it by any chance under your cob? If itās sibling is doing the same maybe itās genetic? This is all speculative but maybe someone else can chime in with something solid?

COBs have no lenses or hoods/reflectors and the whole COBlurple unit is about 24" away, so all the plants are getting basically the same light. I suspect genetics are at play. Those NBs are, by far, the most indica-dominant plants in the tent.
