I have yet to see any empirical evidence that proves one light technology has any advantage over another when it comes to potency. We've seen lab results that favor LED, but we've also seen lab results that favor the different types of HID. For that matter, you'll find a lot of HPS growers who...

That's quite a statement. Plenty of LED growers who get their bud tested would dispute that.

Do you notice a significant difference between the desktop and portable vaping experiences? I'm wondering if it's worth it to get a desktop unit for dry herb.

Dude, my wife gives me the hardest time about culling plants. She loves each and every damn cutting, and literally acts HORRIFIED at the thought of tossing one. She's really cute, but she's got to get over that shit, because I don't have the space for half of the plants she wants to keep.

I'm still not clear on what makes a vaporizer a "log"? What model do you use/recommend? I'd like to get into a desktop unit, but it's an indulgence I can't really afford just now. Do you feel that desktops provide a noticably improved experience over a portable unit?

How can you tell the difference?

I use an X-Max V2 Pro for dry herb. It was the cheapest thing I could find that got consistently good reviews. I have to say, at $60 for the vaporizer, and another $10 for the glass mouthpiece (it comes with a silicon mouthpiece, but I didn't like it), I am very pleased. I use about a quarter of...

So if you pulled more weight with LED, but got smaller buds, you'd switch back to HPS? Okay. Doesn't make much sense to me, but to each their own.

It isn't about the size of the buds, it's about the weight. LED-grown bud tends to be more dense, and therefore appears smaller, though there's every bit as much of it there.

I really wonder if it's just a perception thing, and if we're just conditioned by habit. Because I wasn't at all impressed with my vaporizer at first, but once I really needed it to make my medicine stretch, it kicked ass. State of mind seems to be a big factor.

Just curious - what vaporizer do you have, and why did you hate it? I wasn't crazy about mine either, so it sat on the shelf for a very long time. Then things got tight, stash-wise, so I pulled it back out, in hopes that it would do the trick and save me some bud, and man, does it ever... I did...

It makes sense that for those who are accustomed to growing under HPS, switching to LED could pose some challenges. The growing conditions are notably different, so what else should we expect? I suspect that the reverse would also be true, however it's quite rare to see someone that has grown...

If you're interested in getting the most bang-for-your-buck, a DIY strip-light would likely be your best option. You can easily get in at under $1/watt with one of those builds. However, if you want something that's easier to put together, three 260w QB kits over a 5x5 would work too. Edit: if...

I believe there's no question that the quality would be on point. I think the quality is really down to genetics and overall plant health more than the kind of light you use. As for quantity - I believe that a grower who really has everything dialed in could possibly achieve yields that are...

You've always been aces in my opinion, bro. I hope to become a little more IG-literate one of these days, so I'll see you around!

As I recall, GrowLightResearch denied being nofucks2give for a while before he owned up to being none other. This feels similar.

As far as I'm concerned, if you're going to run a business, you need both - toughness AND courtesy. There is never an excuse for rudeness. But hey, maybe I'm just too old-fashioned.

Okay. If he's just taking a break, I hope that when he comes back, he treats people with more courtesy.

Then why do you keep coming back under different user names? It seems to me that you do need something from the society of growers here on RiU. You pop up in almost every thread, with an opinion on almost every topic (just like GLR). You talk down to people in your efforts to "enlighten" them...

You remind me of GrowLightResearch.
