Top strains to run under LED (opinions plz)

I know some strains perform amazing outdoors while other strains are far more successful indoor then others. For the past uncountable number of plant generations we have selected the best traits indoor and this was mostly done under MH/HPS.

So now that LEDs have been used for some time, what in your opinion are the strongest strains to grow under pure LED?

Interesting......name me one strain that does "better" indoors(with no co2 enrichment) than outdoors ???

lol

i dont think theres a legit answer to your question, or at least not one that we would all agree on. instead you should ask yourself, what strain or method of growing will you choose that will suit your needS?

i think its a myth on certain strains due better outdoors then indoors or vice versa,
wait i take that back, NOTHING CAN BEAT THE SUN lol

heres a article that u might find interesting, keep in mind its purely advertisement, so read and believe on your on risk

Yes, my point was that some strains do better indoor then others, not that indoor is better.

Just looking for someone who has used LEDs and noticed improved results compared to what they were getting before. I agree about the advertizing bit in the link but still a nice looking plant.

There is a logic problem with the question. It assumes that all other things being equal, only changing from one lighting system to another will affect yield/potency without a comparative formula for the output power of the lighting systems.

Too many variables, In short. The first question should be how many actual LED watts do I need to grow x number of plants properly. Then with a rough equivalency you could run multiple strains to see which performs best "in that" environment.

For the sake of argument you could try auto-flowering strains as many say they do well indoors due to shorter size, faster harvest and do not require a 12/12 lighting switch to flower. We also do outdoor and we generally save the really big plant strains for that, as they can grow to enormousness sizes. Ultimately you have to grow to the environment they are in, not just the light source.
