The sun at midday in an average location is inferior in intensity to the light put out by HIDs, at least 400-watt or larger HIDs. So yes, technology can indeed surpass the effectiveness of the sun, in a limited area anyway. Of course, sunlight is free, and it's hard to beat that in terms of light/cost.

If I could pick, like, an ounce or something from those three strains, I'd probably take the Durban Poison. But it's not something I'd want to grow. I have a Durban Poison plant growing now (female too), and it's been pretty finicky, not very tolerant of low humidity in particular. I'm probably just gonna kill it off and turn it into canna-oil since it's so finicky, but when grown out the smoke is really great if you like Sativa-type highs. (It's not my only plant, I also have five Blue Mystics vegging. If it was my only plant, I wouldn't kill it off. Heh.)
jamstigator Reviewed by jamstigator on . If you had to pick between... Durban Poison, Jack Herer, and White Widow - which would you go with? I realize all three will obviously bake you six ways to Sunday, but what I'm wondering is: in the opinion of experienced smokers who have sampled various strains of quality, which would be the most errr, appetizing? Also, am I correct in thinking that those raised outdoors (under the sun) would be more potent than those raised under artifical light? I realize we have great lumination tech these days, but does any of it Rating: 5
