Sweet sweet view and a magnificent tent/space!
You seem to have quite some variety of lights. Do you notice any difference between plants grown under different light types?

In five years of using led as a light source yes I have noticed a few things They all grow bud but as the time went on more efficient ones came out. I have used alot of popular grow lights there 300 watt frost monster light it does great in budding at producing sticky big buds My 1200 watt Cob 600 watts from the wall is from 2014 and is still chugging right along. The apollo six lights are tough well driven lights the identical to a Kind 300 and my tasty COB isa beautiful powerhouse of a light, That all being said I am digging the lush veg growth from my Quantum boards and the bud structure is turning out to be just as good as anything else and the power to coverage ratio is outstanding I see me running all quantums with the exception of my tasty COB. 3000 spectrum is great.

I just love you tent F.N, man what I would give for that space... that's so worth the welcome to the jungle giff... well, sweet child of mine if you want to get technical on what vid the giff is from.
Glad you have bought that up, I've only been growing for 2 yrs now and only with LED, burple and full spectrum cobs. I have seen a differences but seen as I've been growing from seed you could put the difference down to genetics. That being said I'm now growing clones in 3 spaces, one space under the mix of q-boards and cobs, one just under cobs( citizen) and one just Q-boards. I plan to swap the clones about to see how they perform under each light. What I can say is that like @F.N. I have noticed a more of a lusher green to the plants under the q-boards. Not as dark as what burple get them but a deeper green than just the citizen cobs. Also the ladys are preying a lot more under the Q-boarsd but you have to take into consideration that I'm just getting to know the plants better. When the tent in the last pic i posted finishes I will have a better idea of a difference. I grew those girls out under just cobs on the last run, got a great result, rock hard sticky icky. Now lets see how the Q-boards effect the grow this time.
