In this day and age almost every single digital camera has a plethora of features and addons but the most overlooked and possibly most useful is one that has always been there and that is;
Custom WB!
Womens basketball? What does that have to do with taking a quality plant photo?
Nothing, you idiot. That's white balance.
On your little fantastic piece of technology is an option to set your own white balance. On the fancy DSLR's you will have to choose a photo you have previously taken to set the white balance. On most point an shoots you can simply set the white balance by going to the options.
What does this mean?
Deficiencies! FUCK EM.
No information is complete without photos. So, tada.
I can't even tell if that plant is green let alone deficient! What do I dooo?
Adjust those settings! Once you have selected Custom WB simply choose the photo you have taken earlier of a white sheet of paper under the LED lights.
Point and shoot cameras are much more simple. Switch to a setting that isn't automatic and go to custom WB frame the white piece of paper under your lights and hit the ok button.
Here's that aforementioned white sheet of paper and set that white balance!
Ok so the plant the back is UNHEALTHY!
That's all folks. This also works for HPS and MH lights.
Hope it's useful.
