Pretty Guttation

I'd agree, nice shot, very pretty. At 90% humidity, without strong airflow across the leaf, it's kinda hard to avoid. At the stage you are at, I wouldn't worry but I would try to increase airflow.

I'm kinda surprised none of our Reddit-type experts here at RIU haven't chimed in to tell you it's condensation, or a cal-mag deficiency. :o

Had a couple of nearby lightning strikes last night, causing the AFCI/GFCI outlets supplying the tents to trip, shutting down lights/fans. Opened the tents this morning to this:

My shot isn't as close up and pretty as yours, but then again, I'm using a 20+ year old Nikon 4300 point and shoot with a _massive_ 4 megapixels. :cool:

Hahaha this gave me a good laugh!!
That is a beautiful photo. Love the unity between the serrated edges and droplets.
My seedlings are 1 week old today and I've just increased the airflow a little with a fan. Humidity and temps are still optimum and I'm seeing much less guttation. They are looking good :-) From what I have gathered on several plant science sites, is that this is not a sign of any stress but a sign of a good functioning plant.

That seedling was only 2cm tall in that photo.

The lens is stabilized which does help a lot.

At aperture 2.8 the depth of field is insanely narrow.

Nice! I have the same camera (edit: mines a mark 2, not 3), but lacking a good macro lens. I see a purchase in my near future :cool:

Lol, that's also my favourite combo except a couple generations earlier with the OG 5D mark 1 and the non stabalized macro lens (which I'm fine with as I usually use extension tubes)
