Was upgrading your light actually worth the money?
Finally pulled the trigger on a decent LED after two grows under a blurple from Amazon. Night and day difference in canopy penetration, at least that's what i'm telling myself to justify the credit card bill. Wife says the plants look the same to her. She's wrong, but she's not entirely wrong.
Seriously though, i'm curious what others experienced when they made the jump. Did yields actually go up noticeably, or is it more of a quality thing? I grew Mimosa a few times under the old light and got decent smoke, just wondering if i'm chasing marginal gains here.
What was the upgrade that actually moved the needle for you, lighting or something else entirely?

That said, once your light is decent, the next biggest upgrades usually come from genetics and environment. I’ve been running some The Seed Pharm autos lately and the difference in how they perform under a good LED versus cheap blurple is pretty noticeable they stack better and seem happier overall

Absolutely. A quality light can only do so much if the genetics aren't there. Once I upgraded my lighting, I noticed the same thing and good genetics from The Seed Pharm really seemed to shine, with better structure, healthier growth, and more consistent results overall.
