I'm scratching my head on the last grow. During flowering, the smell ws overpowering and everything looked great. After harvest, I'm noticing that I don't seem to have the strong taste or smell that I had while flowering. I used as 1000w HPS for half the room, 1000w 10K MH on the other half. I didn't see the frostiness that I expected, either. I never used to use HPS lighting before and while the quantity and size of the buds seem to have increased, the frostiness and the taste seem to have devcreased. I've grwn for years and haven't changed much major other than the bulbs during flowering. During vegging they get a steady diet of MH sylvania bulbs.
So my question for both the scientists out there as well as some of the ones with practical experience... does using a HPS diminish the trichome production? I'm having a hard time telling which effect if from MH bulbs, HPS bulbs, and the different strains that all act differently under them. I should go back to the old stuff again!
