It was not a perfect run. Far from it and everyone who watched the show knows it.

It still shouldn't have tested so much lower. I watched it and even GML was stunned by the results. Stressed plants don't make them lose that much potency. I'm not trying to bash quantums, I do have 8 boards running besides my Hps's and MH's but I cant have lower quality product, market demands highest quality in my parts or you sit on it and lose money.

I missed out on this. Care to clue in on the test and results?

@a mongo frog, can you elaborate on how the quality is down compared to hps?

To me it's the massive fox tailing I got and many many here have. Maybe i need to tweak my style run the LEDs softer do this do that. I personally think it has to do with all the points of light and the photon war that is going on.
I could very well be wrong and being proven wrong is why kind of why some of us use this site.
Also i should of invested smaller and learned more about the lighting instead of just trying to replace the room of 3k hps with all led balls to the wall type shit.

Shit man I'm sorry I just reread my post it should have said wasnt a perfect run, I fixed it now.

LEDs are definitely moving on up there. The Fluence Spydrx is putting out numbers. Tons of commercial growers setting up their grows using only those. Whether or not HLG is to that point yet I dont know. It would be nice if they would do a lab to see their lights used to the maximum of their ability in a controlled manner by someone who can actually be 100% on every variable.

What kind of air exchange and movement do you have? What’s your humidity when temps are high?

I don't feel commercial large operations are worried about quality as much as making most money possible, look at dispensaries quality. Some of the buds GML shows are not good looking on both his LED and HPS grows just as most buds I see posted in these LED threads aren't nice looking to me either but I don't ever say much to keep the peace, I hate drama. I just want the highest quality end product for my people. Wattage doesn't matter, light source doesn't matter, how much money spent to get best product doesn't matter, what my people put in there pipe and how they feel about what there paying for is all that matters to me.

It was 2% lower. That is barely noticeable, if at any

Are THC tests really that accurate? I´ve read more than once about same plants testing different in different labs, and different %s between buds of the same plant. But sure, it would be interesting to know what people coming from HPS and other think.

The humidity is probably the biggest factor in the potency loss. Everyone knows or at least should that you lower humidity at the end of flower will increase resin productivity..... I sure 80% humidity can have the opposite effect.

I think GML said he and a few friends tried it, and they really liked the terps and flavor but the head change wasn't there, for either sample.

Let's hope this next run by GML test up where it use too. Have you had any other guys do side by side grows hps vs quantum with percentage test results? Im really pulling for quantums in general. I like the boards, customer service from you guys at hlg, and the breath of fresh air they have stirred up on the forums/IG/YouTube.

GML had both hps and quantum rooms tested that he grew at same time with hps beating qb by 2% by same lab.

Isn't that a 10% loss in potency on a 20% strain, I would notice it I think after smoking them side by side a few times

Interesting discussion, hopefully people who switched will keep chiming in. @Stephenj37826 do you UVB/far red/spectrum has something to do with this, or is it too early to know at least at an anecdotal level?

THC tests are marketing bullshit. If you tested every bud on just one plant, there will be many different results. What is the mandate for testing in a legal state? One bud per plant? Per pound? until there is a cheaper way to test, THC percentages are pie in the sky.

LED Light quality from COBS and these boards is superior to HPS/MH. No? Then tell me why Gavita sold their HPS business to work with LED?

If you had issues, look elsewhere in your system, it wasn't the lights.
