Re: Why does HPS weed look glossy
I think it’s also just the fact that a lot of us new inexperienced growers are using LEDs and a lot of the people using HPS know what they’re doing. I was interested in the difference myself so I ordered a 1000W DE to run alongside LED and find out. One day it will arrive. Ha.

Re: Why does HPS weed look glossy
I think what you're seeing is due to the light and not the plants. Here's an example
Led ON
Led OFF
The plants look terrible under the LED but it's camera tricks. They are actually not that bad and indeed shiny.
The shine just means that the leaves contain high levels of brix. This means your plants are healthy :)

He’s doing one right now I think. Think he’s showing it in that Snake Oil vs Basics thread.
