You're right, it actually doesn't say anything about my growing experience because I didn't ask you how to germinate a seed or how to keep the leaves green through harvest on a 12-14 week sativa; perhaps it did say a little about my experience with lighting outside hps though.
I asked you a...
I get what you're saying there. I keep my seeds in a little air tight mason jar in the fridge. Sort of like my bud though, they don't really hang around too long, maybe six months to a year.
So even within my little hypothetical scenario where money is no object, you're saying a 400 watt hps is the better light for obtaining the highest quality and yield? At what point or under what circumstances would you recommend an led then?
I promise I'm not trying to stir shit. I really am...
So I need a light. I have a single 3x3 space, the environment can be controlled no matter what light I choose and I have a four thousand dollar budget. With highest quality and yield being my primary objective, what light should I choose and why?
No problem bud. I've never tried it but I've also never grown in large enough quantities to warrant long term storage. I bet it does the trick nicely though.
There's some good info here from Ed Rosenthal and Kevin Jodrey regarding temperature and packaging as it relates to long term storage. The stuff you're looking for starts at about 18:35 with underground storage but it progresses into something more pragmatic.
