After over 30+ years of growing under HPS bulbs, I've finally made the switch to LED's. Bigtime! 2 of these LED's cost me over $2800 delivered. Everything is new- a new room, 2 new lights, a new strain, a different exhaust system, new pots, etc........
Excessive heat was the main reason for the change, as my summer crops were never as nice as my winter ones. The LED's use about 400 watts less each so there will be some electricity savings too. I was averaging over 2 lbs. a 1000 watt light no problem, I don't expect to get there with these. But I'm assuming the overall quality will be better in the long run.
The Orange Gasm is a heavy yielding, mostly sativa strain that Rafsta Jeff claims is all about the orange and tangerine taste and smell it puts off. It's genetics are Platinum Tangie X Golden Goat. Irie uses the Golden Goat in a lot of it's strains. If you want more info on it, you can check out this podcast detailing the strain:
More to come including some pic's when I get around to it.
