oh it will Capt , used the sunmaster dual specs too , they great too .
Led youll see buds are more compact and heavy imho .

Only thing with led is less deeper light penetration then hps

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 :)
Yo seymore long time no hear...........sorry forgot to say im talking about the bud being glossy not the leafs

You think trex

Think cap use canna A+B and BB uses mother earth bloom tea which im using now for the first time
have an OG kush auto week left thats just been fed with mother earth bloom tea from advanced nutrients
BB said hes used advanced nutrients mother earth bloom tea for donkey years and had great results

Must say one thing ive noticed with the bloom tea is the pistals look a deeper orange ive tryed a few diff nutes now and so far the bloom tea looks like a winner ill try and get some pics of my OGK to show looking nice and frosty with dark orange pistals my best looking weed plant so far
