There's a lot of strains that can hit 30% or come very close (high 20%'s ) my golden goat got tested at 32% at the dispensary I bought it from. My tangie cut is actually frostier than my golden goat and I ran gorilla glue 4 last year that definitely was around 30% it was super frosty.
Thanks for the info any chance you're around Michigan? I wouldn't mind some cuts of the goat or the tangie... I'll trade with some 28% yielding Pineapple Express and Girl Scout cookies.

I live in Colorado :( , that pineapple express is a huge yielder I know someone that been running it a while.
Yeah that's what the guy told me, I plan on taking cuts and getting the best possible from each (and gg#4) for my side by side by side.(HPSvsDEHPSvsCOBs) might just make it all in a 4x4 to make it equal but idk since I have the cobs in a 5x5 currently

I been trying to do a side by side forever but I never get around to it.

Shoot I'm set up and ready to go on it lol just need some solid cuts all the way around to make it fair. I have 3/4 currently
Very nice grow room bro, super clean, the only thing I can see is theres no way you can do a side by side there, way too much light spillage. You need barriers between lights to make it a good comparison.

Can you show us a pic of that bud. I got one thats almost 28% But not quite. What was your 28% grown under?
I had test results shown to me by the guy who I got the clone from... Quite a legit guy. He's working on some solid purples for me currently.

I know I only have the DE there for now I have a special spot for it to maximize wall reflections. And I'll have some more panda film for box them in but let air flow

I know one place that got a cut that pretty much always is in the low 30% range, cut is mob boss , this is the dispensary https://weedmaps.com/dispensaries/the-healing-canna#/menu

Unfortunately they only sell clones of their bottom shelf, I grew a few and they were all decent but not worth running again.

I just realized that the photo I posted only had 2 of the 4 sets of cobs on... so 400W! good stuff.

Yoda is that first pic mob boss? Ur pictured buds look like high 20 to 30 percent range easy.
That's Delicious Seeds Critical Sensi Star, it was amazing flavor wise and yield but I had to retire because it liked to hermie.

Something else to consider.. A DE HPS total output of UVA and UVB is less than .5% of its output according to the spectrum graph. So you get 5W total... so 2.5W roughly of UVB which is the important one.

Im only bringing this up because even if you ran a Gavita you should still supplement with something like this.

Just something that popped into my head.
I don't agree, gavitas don't need supplementation if you put those T5's in your grow room its just gonna block the light from the gavitas since T5s are low intensity and need to be close to the plants, only alterative is to run them as a side light which wont help a canopy in the least bit. Really they are a waste of electricity and space.

I would agree but since all the light that comes out of that is PURE UV it must me further away and cant be treated as a standard light. This light would give you a sunburn in less than 10 mins of direct contact. That said I cant imagine that 2.5W can be considered using any at all over a and given grow space 4x4-6x5.

5W just wont make any difference.
54W Just might make one.

Yea I just don't like T5's as supplemental lights, I feel they work better as a stand alone light during veg but honestly not a very good flowering light.

I would never use one for either.. but like I said its not the same light... Its UV ONLY so thats why its able to be so far away. The only reason anyone would use this light is for a flowering situation because UVB is no good in veg only flowering. Check out the specs.

Oh I know about those lights I have used them, just not a fan of T5's for supplemental lights. They work great for veg lights tho, produce very green plants I used to use one until the ballast fried from over use. They are great lights for cloning plants too probably the best of all the lights I ever used to clone, hps probably is the worst I ever used with success.

This isnt a normal t5... Im pretty sure youre trolling me now since I found you on the OP that I found this.
