Why does HPS weed look glossy
Hi
GR420 crew mr nice has been wondering for a while now why weed grown under HPS looks glossy and wet looking where weed under just LED never looks the same in my eyes.
Ive been racking my brains over this thinking it must be some be the light spectrum............. as we all can control how enviroment is so its not heat,humidity etc below is a pic i made of a Sun master duel spec bulb and the invisible sun led spec from there BR range
When I see Don BBs and the Captins weed pics they allways look glossy and the dogs bollocks where they mix HPS and LED
BIG UP BB and CAP
Does any one have answer why this is so whats missing from the LED side......?
Been bugging me for ages now so im asking comrades what IS IT whats missing LED covers more of the spectrum then the HPS is that it you need less spectrum or is it UV or UVB thats with the HPS lamps and not the LED
peace and love

Re: Why does HPS weed look glossy
overthinking stuff MrNice , all this science shit ruins the fun of growing tbh .
The more i would follow science and all that the more things would fuck up .
Follow things that work for you bud and stick with it .
I make my own soils and liquid organic fertilizers , ive never EVER followed any scientific b.s and ive had the most amazing plants !

HPS does put out UV but most of it is blocked by the glass on the bulb.IMO wrote:Lack of uv in leds I’d guess, I think hps puts out some uv
