Nice dense buds with a pleasant flavor. The buzz is very soothing and relaxing but still leaves you with enough energy to get something done if you're so inclined.
This light is solidly built and produced buds as fat and dense as the hps lamp I'm used to growing under. I will need to do more grows with it for a true comparison but so far I am quite pleased with the performance.
This was my first time growing with a LED light and first time growing this strain.
Viparspectra was kind enough to supply the xs2000 for me to test out and I must say I am very impressed with the performance of this unit.

Now for the grow
Seed was soaked for 24hrs then placed in a rapid rooter peat pellet, which was tucked in a 1liter airpot filled with potting soil. A plastic bag was used as a humidity dome.
She breached the surface 48hrs later
On day 14 she was transplanted into a 5gal phat sack filled with Great Lakes Water Only soil mix and watered in with a compost tea made with worm castings , molasses and water bubbled for 24hrs.
LST was started on day 21
Day 30 she was given a watering with the same tea as on day 14
By week 6 she was drinking about a gallon of water every 3-4 days
Day 62 she was watered with a compost tea that besides the molasses and worm castings also included bat guano seabird guano alfalfa meal and a liquid fish and kelp fertilizer all bubbled for 72hrs.
Even though I gave it to her at 1/2 strength it was a little more than she could handle as was evident by the sudden change in leaf color. But despite that she continued to grow and fatten her buds.
The last 2 weeks she was watered with 1tsp per gal of molasses added to her water.
She was chopped down on day 97 one day short of 14wks. I would have liked to let her go another week or so but she was already showing a few amber trichomes and I was worried about the super hot and humid weather so down she came.
She was 12"×12"×12" basically a cubic foot of bud 😋
Dry weight was taken after a week of hanging and almost a month of cure neither of which could have been accomplished without the help of a good friend who let me use his climate controlled home to dry and cure. He also handled all the burping of the jars for several weeks. Hell of a good man
I see that you are keeping the bottom of the pot off the ground using a metal rack. I'm doing the same thing as I am guessing it improves air flow to the soil, prevents the pot from sitting in a pool of run-off and makes it easier to collect the run off for TDS measurements?
