I used to use two 375w CMH bulbs in a cool tube probably the best buds i have grow indoors.Curious if you could expand on this a bit. How did they differ from each other? I guess I am wondering if there was much difference in the high you experience from different light sources, if any?
Then I got two 240w Chinese copies of American quantum boards which is what I am currently using.
I always suspected the LED lights produced different buds so I clone a Mulanje (Malawi) and grew one clone under the LEDs and one in the sun using coco and the same nutes on both.
The LEDs came in quicker by a 2 to 3 week margin despite growing both in the WA equivalent of Autumn so the outdoor clone showed sex straight away at the same time as the indoor clone.
The indoor was much more dense and stickier chunky buds the outdoor was more leafy and smelled different more menthol and pine compared to the indoor which was sweeter honey and floral.
After curing for around 12 months after cobbing they are both funky smelling but the outdoor is much more palatable chewed with a distinct very different smell and taste like nothing I have had before.
The high off of the indoor is powerful and a little stony finishing.
The outdoor is like an instant shot of speed very fast acting and gets me really fucked up but not slow or tired, more like a super man feeling like riding on the nose of a rocket.
They could be thought of as completely different plants not even related they are that different.
IMO the LEDs are great and you get a huge harvest of resin covered buds.
The outdoor is vastly different in looks and effects much cleaner high.
If I could grow outdoors legally I would but I cant so indoors rules.
first pics indoor last pic outdoor its easy to tell the difference.
