Classic!
I have someone I'm mentoring right now. Some schmuck in a grow shop told her that Blue LED's increase trich's and terp's, and of course THC content.
She has these stupid little blue LED Christmas lights strung over her plants.
I saw this yesterday on a visit....
I told her that what she's attempting, is done by a very small nm band of UV lighting.
But, your plants do look festive.

The Blue lights are said to “increase oil production”. Great thing abt being clueless is you dare to try things.Classic!

I'm staying out of this thread. Gonna let you guys have fun taking it wherever you want until the thread dies.
Just wanted to say Dynamo626, you are one of the good guys in the hydroponic store industry. Guys like you get a bad rap from owners who hire people for the sole purpose of making a $. I believe there are plenty of good bud tenders with good intentions who get a bad rap for the same reason.

I am glad the LED guys can take a joke. 
I only told this joke now because it might not be funny next year when LED rules the world.
Oh well. Glad no fights broke out. :

Had one more share about the trees I almost forgot.
I went up to them and pulled off some of the leaves. They had no smell, no taste, a chemical taste to be honest.
I went up to a few employees and said what's up with these trees. They explained, they were grown hydroponic.
When I was leaving I saw some similar trees in the parking lot. Decided to check them out. Man, the smell was incredible. I said: These trees are fucking awesome were they grown hydroponic like the ones inside?
Fuck no dude! These were grown organic.
