How do I know my LED is sufficient?
DankGardeneranswered grow question 5 years ago
When it comes to growing cannabis, LED models with 3W chipsets (each individual bulb is 3W) seem to get some of the best yields/watt of all LED models without a lot of worry about light-burning your plants.
With LEDs, always look at the “actual power draw” or “actual power consumption” which is the amount of electricity the LED panel actually pulls from the wall. When comparing different LED grow lights, this is the closest you get to a side-by-side comparison.
Generally, your goal with LED panels should be 50-60 watts per square foot of grow space to get the best results.
OrganicChronicanswered grow question 5 years ago
You know your LED is sufficient if you have 200-300 “real watts” drawn from the wall for a 2x4. The plant might be drooping from cup, I wouldn’t recommend it. Only clones need a dome because they don’t have any roots yet

Unsmokeable QWET, really bitter, not pleasant to smoke at all. Any suggestion guys? I dont really get what I do wrong//Method: Fresh Harvested Weed / 97ºalchool in freezer, weed in Jar, 30 sec and 2 min wash, strainer, coffee filter, let evaporate room temp. Purged x2 in vac. machine.
May, the fact that the plant was not flushed yet, affect the end product? Not the first time my QWET is bitter.

Best way to cure your harvest? Any tips or best practices would handy. I know I need mason jars and humidity packs and a dark place. I read I should leave the plant alive but in total darkness for 3 days before I harvest? I am so confused, but I know curing is very important.3 years ago

Have you ever seen a correlation between smell and taste ?If it has good smell, do you expect a good taste, or do you just expect to what the seedbank says about the taste of the genetic? What about F1 which has a lot of different phenotype? If once plant has a distinctive smell compared to the other, will she also have a better taste?Other. Harvest - Smoking
