It might be prudent to remember that if you flower out with HPS, your terp profiles tend to be more citrus in end results. Rather Lemon prone.
If you flower out or at least finish flower with 3 weeks of MH you get a more Berry terp profile (and a more complete/faster finish).....
This effect is on the plant no matter what strain you run......
You might want to keep this point in mind........DJ Short was talking about this very thing not long ago!
There are new dual arc bulbs out that are 600w HPS and 400w MH in one 1000w bulb that should deliver a better solid finish with a more complete or strain specific terp profile that is more "correct" for the strain....
EYE Hort's are 150+ bucks a bulb.....not too wallet friendly, while 1000bulbs.com has a Plantmax Dual arc for 48 bucks....less then 1/3 of EYE's! You should note that these need to be struck with a magnetic ballast on HPS....

What happens to "terp profiles" under the most basic and natural light in existence...the sun?
I have grown DJ's Blueberry both indoors and out.
Never noticed any difference in the "terp profile"(taste) between the HPS finished or the sun finished outdoor buds.
Color me skeptical.
