do you use a ring light? or find yourself using a ring flash mostly?

I only use my ring flash (worth the extra money). I don't like the ring lights because most of them just stay on all the time and they don't communicate with your camera. Ring flashes with i-TTL allow the camera to adjust its exposure settings to compensate for the flash, just like the flash built into the camera. Plus a lot of ring lights just don't get bright enough. While I usually use manual aperture/shutter speed mode (I have it hooked up to my Mac using Sofortbild, a free program that lets you adjust all the setting on your camera -aperture, shutter speed, exposure, etc.- along with take pictures remotely), I can still get some pretty awesome pictures from automatic modes (such as the "macro" mode). I have an older Nikon D40.

Ring lights are nice because they are shadowless... They get in every crack and crevice, and make your trichs pop nicely. Great for a fill when used in conjunction with overhead and/or backlighting. Gotta run. :peace:

in the process of training my blackberry cut and i currently have 16 heads on the plant. i am itching to top it one more time to get 32 , then training into a tomato cage and aiming for 2 ft colas.
my questions
1. is 32 too much, im looking for rocks. no fluff. would 32 be too thick of a canopy to work for this method?
2. is a 2 ft cola too long, would a more compact plant be better for the dense nugs that are achieved.

any insight is appreciated thanks

i think 16 works real good.....8 is the best for longer colas, then 16, 32 is best for a short very wide, scrog type of scene....

Soil test......trunk detail........my Amish mix producing 1.5X the trunk mass....the right pic is panned closer, but if you look at the lighter, the trunk on the left is as wide as the lighter, the right, not so much!....check out the difference in "knuckling"!.....she is obviously absorbing enough Calcium!;-)
