Any one have any opinion on these diy kits from ebay im not the biggest ebay fan but....
Yeah personaly im not that interested in bag apeal as long as something pays the electric bill a couple times im good and I am more into edibles my wife is like a mad scientist with her canabutter and tinctures so yeah much better for insomnia and 0 noid. I do like a puffy puff on a nice walk in the fall for sure. She is more the smoker i like my cupcakes and shes got it to where we got about 200 mg per cupcake so tasty no weedy flavor and 2 makes for well lets say keep the remote close by very closeby lolAll I did was compare the Luminous data sheet to Cree and others and I found it to be the best performance for the buck. At $19 a piece they are high output which means they are 130 watts each so you can run them very efficiently at 65W at have much more light when needed and can be dimmed down when needed. I also like the 72 volt Cree's but the cost is over 2X the Luminous.
Anyway, I am getting great results so far as compared to a 1K HPS. I am seeing a main stalk on my plants that is 1.5 x as thick as last time and branches that are heavier as well as huge root development. I did one flower cycle with these lights and found about a 25% increase (weight). Now I have better sorted out my genetics and so this time I expect even more. The root bundles after 5 week veg over-filled the 5 gallon buckets and gave me tap rots that are the diameter of an adult males index finger. They just look super vigorous.
Also, I have read a some stuff written by people with more experience than me that say the whole bag appeal of tight, heavy, dense buds is not necessarily better than airy buds. Their argument is the airy buds sometimes have more internal trich development but I don't know. An interesting subject. I have grown some airy buds that were small but tasted great and really hit hard on my pain and insomnia. I got criticized for producing larfy loosely trimmed buds but they were great. They had so much trich material on the bud leaves I trimmed them a little less than normal. Sometimes I think bag appeal doesn't necessarily equal quality.
Here is an example of that opinion:
