Don't really understand this trend of talking crap about other peoples buds....
Maybe you will once you started growing quality bud yourself :P You make something dramatic of it else it would be so obvious silly, to complain about people criticizing bud on a cannabis forum.

Of course a terpene profile provides a lot of insight, but with a more trained eye and a few decades seeing and smoking bud from thousands of growers it gets a little easier to judge bud quality, which isn't just about the terpene profile... There's no trend of people talking crap about other peoples bud's terpene profile...

The trend you and your cult are following is talking crap about people instead of bud, on a forum about bud.

I have no doubt led can be used to grower higher quality bud when used properly and in capable hands.

LED cobs are great supplemental lighting ,, its not about oh wow dam this light is bright to say that brighter light is better then another for growth is actually funny nothing to do with brightness .
That is just another illusion run wild ,, although spectrum plays a roll in plant development , Having the driving force of Horse power driving the plant is a nother story
Putting it into perspective the Sun throws out a shit load of light the plant does not use just like Hid and guess what them out door plants are giants compared to same time frame grown indoor what gives right
90 percent of the new growers are more concerned about spectrum then actual hordi practice ,, That is the sad thing

Cob lighting LED lighting Hid lighting are just another light that is used indoor we are not seeing stupid results from any Cob grow on the net ,, its just like Vertical Vs Horizontal Debate you know ???? like the 135 percent more space if that was the case there be no debate ,,,
But in this case were using Efficiency of the light yup what marketing and lighting industry has thrown into the mix to again fuck up the average grower truth is ,
at the end of the day is really a moot point unless your spending 200,000 a year on power lol really or business trying to cut corners and save
Cob LED lighting is not the Quam of the lighting industry its just another light source that may work for your application
Sooner we realize that the better i just looked at a 600 watt Cob grow were he only harvested 860 grams claimed guessing 8 - 10 plants really Questionable???? from looking at it but again its the internet IMG3233.jpg whom ever switched will in fact talk out of there ass cause again they spent a lot to make that 600 watt unit but again its what works for them

And lets face it lots of 600 watt hid units pulling in numbers so where does it end right lets not forget the legend heath and his GPW right here 2 plant 4 week veg first 2 weeks weak ass 150 watt Hid then 2 weeks 600 and flip i am really looking forward
what were seeing with cob growers is a Sog grow they throw in a bunch veg 2 weeks n flip nothing special about that

wow dude you really missed the boat.

With only a partial upgrade to the latest led lights I'm able to save a 100 a month for power. I'm only running a couple of 5x5 flowering areas with supporting veg areas. Just wait till I finish building my lights.

legal weed is changing the pricing\profit. if your not squeezing out every penny of margin in your grows you won't last.
wa state is now wholesaling well under 2K a pound.

There is no next level Bro, I be there LOL
of course there is a next level, fluoro T5s are outdated because of efficiency.

I used to grow with mostly T5s, all sorts of different aquarium tubes with a full wide spectrum. I'm still using Coral Waves as a supplement and warm\cool white mixes for vegging, but all of those are going away with the dodo bird as I build my own lights.

Just to give you an idea as to how far the warm white cobs have evolved ....
T5s run around 100 lumens/watt ... well the latest cobs are now running 140 - 200 lumens per watt. That mean with the latest and greatest I can almost double the light output with the same wattage.

Any spectrum mix that you can develop with T5s I can create with leds at a higher efficiency and at a higher density.

Not to mention fluro's are linear lights so their intensity drops off exponentially , after just a few inches from the bulb you are too far to get the right intensity.
