Yeah, it's been used medicinally for thousands of years. It helps me with my pain and my insomnia...I hate morphine.

I have been growing for a couple years now and just sold all my HPS lamps, had two 600 w and the works to switch to LED since I am going small scale for personal use. I am excited to see where this leads and looking forward to some potent smoke.

Welcome to the forums...

What are you planning on replacing that 1200w with?

The final product looked quite similar, except was "more sticky".

As for quality, what a difference.

I have never grown this strain as potent as this harvest was.

I had old harvest(s) to compare to and the LED is superior.


dwcled, I found the same thing when growing under LED, although I did not get as high of a yield (comparing 180w LED 357 Magnum to 600w HPS), but wasn't too far away. My highest yield from the Magnum was 7.5oz but the quality blew my other through the roof. It was a big learning curve for me when I decided to grow under LED, but now that I have I will never go back. I have now been growing under LED for 1 year now and my results keep getting better as I become more experienced with the technology.


One other interesting note is that I use a grinder and I have found a lot more "hippy crack" being screened.

The LEDs must help creating trichs.
