And the best part is that it isn't even hard or terribly time consuming to do.I'm biased I have never flowered without SCROG. Im OCD, enjoy training my bonsai ladies to be as level as possible and fill the net.

This is a post by @Queece from over in the HPS killer thread. In my view it addresses "penetration" in a persuasive way:HID lights penetrate WAYYYYYY further than LED's , heck a gavita is REQUIRED to be hung a minimum of 2 feet and really is best at above 3 feet, there is NO LED that can be hung that high and still have the intensity that a HID light has. That's why LED's are best used with scrogs. If they have to penetrate a deep plant you will NEVER finish the bottom buds or even under the main canopy.
Come on....more resin really? The only way that's possible is with UV light ,and i'm sorry to tell you , COB LIGHTS HAVE ZERO UV LIGHT , ZERO.
Lower canopy temps is awesome bro, But your not getting any more resin production then i am at hps and I'm not clowning leds at all, i want one and will get one. For the reason of lower electric bills if i was to major switch and to cool canopy temps so the electric bill could be even lower.
You are simply wrong, LED's don't make more resin. I have done side by side comparisons using clones from the same plant, weed is the same. If that was the case blurple LEDs would be the best kind, you are simply speaking non-sense.Yes.
And you are incorrect in your assumption that resin production can only be increased adding UV light.
Different light sources affect plants differently.
Nope, no UV. Most of us are aware of what the SPD of our COBs looks like, as well as traditional HID.

This massive difference in spectrum makes a difference to the plants too.
I have personally seen the same strain get frostier under the same light intensity, but different quality of light.
I'm not talking schwag to dank, I just said more resin production.
Like I said... LEDs are NOT a secret weapon for growing dank plants. But, the plants seem to perform better when given a fuller spectrum to utilize. If you match light intensity, plants react better to a spectrum that is closer to nature.
Just an observation of personal experience.
That's cool. So did I.You are simply wrong, LED's don't make more resin. I have done side by side comparisons using clones from the same plant, weed is the same.
If the spectrum was all that mattered than blurple lights would be best, they had the most complete spectrum, its obvious LED's trying to go towards HID lighting, more intensity at the expensive of lesser a spectrum.That's cool. So did I.
Different results in my case.
LED was better. Difference wasn't huge, but it was noticeable.
Thanks for telling me how MY results went from MY grow.
You should study up on light physics and plant biology/physiology. And stop reading Jorge Cervantes Grow Bible.
Wellllllll... not exactly. If you're pushing enough that it hurts your plants then it's too much. Stories abound of people blasting their poor ladies into complete shock and no growth at all!UV is the only type of light that is proven to increase resin production, because it harms the plant and in response to the damaging rays the plant produces more trics to protect itself. That's a proven fact...this magical spectrum with unicorns and magic gpw numbers just doesn't exist...get real guys.
As the price of COB LED comes down, this debate will cease. The excess HVAC requirements will demand it.Strain temp Co2 nutes humidity ect....... It's all in the environment. You have your environment dialed in you'll have quality medicine, if you have good genetics.
I hear that anything to become more efficient keeping quality and yeild.As the price of COB LED comes down, this debate will cease. The excess HVAC requirements will demand it.
This. Because it will always be easier to manage environmental conditions around more efficient lighting.Strain temp Co2 nutes humidity ect....... It's all in the environment. You have your environment dialed in you'll have quality medicine, if you have good genetics.
I AM SOOOOOOOO STEALING THIS!Stop believing in stoner science marketing.
Yes Sr. and that = money saved money earnedThis. Because it will always be easier to manage environmental conditions around more efficient lighting.
Blurple lights are missing important parts of the spectrum. Even NASA knows this now. Plants respond better to white light. It is also proven that uvb does increase trichome production but I have never seen it proven that is the only way to increase them (two seperate things).If the spectrum was all that mattered than blurple lights would be best, they had the most complete spectrum, its obvious LED's trying to go towards HID lighting, more intensity at the expensive of lesser a spectrum.
