Hope thats not lemon skunk from DNA? :)
Nope it was from another dutch breeder...can't recall the name now. I can't visualize the package but not the name. I got it the treating yourself show ...maybe 6 years ago. It could have been Serious Seeds.
Why?

I bet this is it.

Can't say 100%...but 90%...yes. And it's quite stellar. Very lemony and perty. Tons of frost. It's really quite gorgeous. Short and wide. Good grower even if you fuck up. Which i do at times. Fast finisher 7-8 weeks.
For me it's not an every day weed. I like it plenty well but I enjoy the danker deep stinky flavors. It's intense lemon is more than i want continually. Ladies love it.

Bought pre-LP days thank goodness.
I believe it is going to get pretty hard to avoid buying genetics from people working with LP's eventually to be honest, breeders are getting offered far too much money to work with them to actually say no. I think the only one I have seen publicly say fuck LP's he will never work with them and fuck those who do, is breeder steve.

I hope Jordan doesn't go down that road.
He imports far too many genetics illegally to go that way I believe. He has a bunch of crosses coming out real soon that look like they could potentially be complete fire, la cookies cross, bunch of pie crosses, think he even has a dosido cross coming, also some strain coming called God's Unicorn Piss which I may buy just because of the name.

I just installed mine! :)

1000W HID + ballast puts out a lot of heat. The HLG-600H puts out a lot of heat less than a HID but still, too hot to hold your hand on the heatsink for more than 60 seconds, which I guess is around 70-80C. The heatsink runs the whole surface area of the light 29" x 15.5" . To give perspective on the amount of heat these fixtures actually put out, in my tent with 2.4kw HPS vs. 1.2kw HLG LED the temp would be about 6C cooler with LED. And I had only my bulbs in the tent, the ballasts were outside...with the LED everything is inside the tent.

So like maybe 40-50% of the heat output of HID on these LED fixtures. They are bright though, the camera can't capture it properly. Nice even distribution too. I noticed the HLG-240H put out a lot less heat, you could hold your hand on the heatsink as long as you want, likely because it is not being driven as high by the driver as the 600H. What I like about these lights is everything is solid state except the drivers which range from 70$-140$ on Arrow

Awesome! Some chunky looking buds you got there...Those lights will do you well. So you changed lights mid flower. Did you notice your plants having issues adjusting to the new spectrum?

I'm at 3000k and it's only day 3, but it's chop day anytime. So will have to wait until next round. One thing I noticed is deeper canopy penetration though.
