Hello dejayou30,

Thanks for the compliment, I probably read more then I post but I have been encouraged to share some ideas and thinking on subjects other then LEDs.
I actually consider what I do as being a hobbyist, tho a certain production level is necessary to be able to help people in need.

You have a good grasp of the selection process, and if you only base your selection on how a plant grows out of many, you have it at least 95% covered. Like you say, with good seeds that are stabelized there is not too much difference in plants overall, and picking a plant(s) based on best node spacing and growth you probably can't go wrong. What I'm doing here could be short cutted to some extent, but I'm doing it the "oldfashion" way.

BTW: I have a question for you about an answer on another thread dealing with 24/0 vs. 18/6 (which is best?). I'll pose it to you there and hope you can help me out.
