so bridgelux is basically the same as lm301?

Their performance is similar, yes. They have to have more bridgelux diodes on the fc e series than there are on the Fc series with lm301b diode. That is how they are able to maintain similar output.

The FC-E series provides a amazing bang for buck and produces nice plants there are a ton of people that say they arent worth it yada yada but its bullshit impo i can grow just as good of weed with a cheaper end light FC-E series as i can with a higher end say HLG light the efficiencies are different and so are the efficacies but in the end i truly believe these cheaper models are 100% worth they money

rolled a decent blunt with some of the buds i pulled off the tree, been smokin on it since the 1st.
runtz buds
no pics of the gdp buds yet but coming soon
it definitely has the effects and quality to it… gets me high as shi*
definitely better than anything i can buy off the street around here or anywhere else ive been. ive smoked better stuff in the past but this about compares pretty evenly with the top quality buds ive ever smoked.
my next grow will be even better now that ive taken in so much info on the do’s and don’ts as far as makin nothin but the best for next harvest.
still got a few weeks till everything is dried and in bags to cure but for now it works.
i officially will never pay for bud again from this point forward.
as far as taste goes, obviously it’s fresh from the tree, so planty but also the runtz has a hint of sweetness in it even fresh from the tree. so im very curious as how it will taste when its done curing
the smell is very sweet fruity almost 
best stuff ive had in years, and im lookin forward to the next even better grow.

so first day or so of drying the buds felt very airy. after drying for the last 5-6 days, it has actually densed up after getting fluffy, like the more they dry the harder they get.
branches aren’t snapping quite yet but when i test the buds with a meter it says anywhere from 10-15%
the humidity stays around 45-60% for drying but the temp wont go under 70, just the conditions i have to deal with. so cant change much
i suppose with temps around 70 it will dry faster than the 10-14 day mark?

Yes higher temps will cause it to dry slightly faster by a day or two possibly biggest thing when it comes to temps while drying is preservation of terpenes sense terpenes are so volatile they deplenish at higher temps

so i ended up baggin some and trimming some up today. if the hygrometer in the bag gets too high ill air it out a bit
but is it cool if i bag it earlier to cure, and just let it dry a little at a time based on the rh in the bag

it takes hours just to do one plant, i got 4 grove bags full with one plant, and it took me damn near all day long.
just starting on trimming plant #2
nuds were 10% goin into the bags. unfortunately at least 4 days too early due to the temp but it is what it is.
hygrometers inside the bags steady at 60% tho
still got 4 plants to go
worst part is that this first one was the smallest one

my favorite part of all this is my buddy at work always says save the stems…
as in out of the bags we buy, save him the stems so he can put em in oil or whatever he does with em…
wait till i show up with a garbage bag full of em

so far off the 2 smallest plants, got about 4 oz of runtz curing and 3 oz of gdp curing.
others still arent even chopped yet
these two definitely have more of a sativa kick to them, jus like i wanted.
ill make the 2 gdp that are left more indica and the runtz plant i have left i will do probably more in between
