Are these trichomes amber or brown from damage?

HPS finished product, in general, has better bag appeal and a little less larf is produced. Just my 2 centavos which isnt worth much.

Never tried hps but i can tell you I'm sick of this lower larf from my LEDs

me too. I am thinning my scrog grows more and more trying to expose more of the cola to light. Not sure it is working all that well though.

Are you guys toping them aswell? Because if you dont top them the secondary branches will still be that, secondary branches instead of main colas. I have x2 130W LED panels in a 3x3 feet, nothing fancy at all but Im happy with the results for what it is. I think a good option if you dont wanna spend a lot in a good LED to minimize that is to use HPS in winter, but even in winter unless you have AC might be a problem if its a small tent.
Im posting the results of my last SCROG here:

Crystal Candy fem SCROG

Got some beatiful colas with sweet seed's crystal candy. Sturdier and hungrier than I thought it would be honestly, I was expecting smaller buds from what Ive seen online so Im very happy. They are heavy too, pretty dense and sticky! I still have more colas to collect, waiting for them to mature...

The lower parts are still maturing and I have some colas left to harvest still. Theyre in dark for 2 days now, but thats the colas from 2 plants and not even all of the colas. Of course Im gonna have that problem but remember that Im using 260W only.
Soon I will post the rest of the colas and you will see the "lower" buds, theyre just the same size but not bunched together for the most part.
