I had different lights on this tank in the last year from a 6 bulb t5 to ATI LED's, Radion xr15, GHL, Hydra 26 HD and even a Chinese Christmas light box to proof some one a point that light isn't important th have a thriving system but the balance of your system.
Now I run the Hydra 26 HD and waiting on shipment from my friends at EM to have one G4 for this tank and 5 G4's for the DT.
Crazy Diesel is dropping the ATI hybrid as there aren't any SPS to make them happy.

The first picture is a lemon drop. Second pic is what most would refer to as a sunburst. I figure that you already knew that though.

That explains my tittle as it's mind boggling.

Confusion on the Diesel front.

Jumping both feed into some nems but the Diesel engine is sputtering on the confusion between some of them.
Clarification is a must before the jump.

Bro, that lemon drop is sick. Look at the white spots on it, send it over and I will nurse it back to health for you ;)

neither one is a lemon drop ,though they are cool
lemon drops are reg qaudracolor that get put under certain LEDs they make certain parts alot more yellow i.e. kessils basically

That's what I've seen. There really is no lemon drop, just sunbursts under kessils that turn yellow.

lemon drops taste good, they are one of my favorite candies….

oh wait, thats lemon heads. Is there a difference?

Lets find out.
Just talked to Tony from RR USA and he told me the same about the Lemon drop that's a hyped up Sunburst under cheap Chinese LED's.
Never the less we still can taste if there's a difference.

Lemon drops are a hard candy dusted in sugar, lemon heads are a brand name and slightly different. (Same flavor) they are lemon "softball" sugar with a candy coating

The key is fine a reputation seller. I got burned one from a bad seller on Facebook and he is on here, too.
Also my experience, please dont buy any nem smaller than 4". Small nem is seem to harder to survive. Buy good size nem or larger may prevent some seller to frequent cut them for more profit. Those nice nem is hard to keep that why you dont see them often and that why price still high.

First pic is lemon drop, second pic is candy corn.

I believe I received one of the first batches of lemon drops from an importer 4-5(?) years ago. sold them all because I thought I would get more. I thought wrong. That photo is from someone named Jay and I think it's from 2014. I have not seen a true lemon drop since the shipment I got and I don't even know if imports are still allowed from that country/region. yellow sunbursts are NOT lemon drops. lemon drops have yellow tentacles, red column and red basal disc. sunbursts have purple column and basal disc. lemon drops will not change color under different lighting types. again, there are NO og lemon drops left. myself and many others have been scammed into purchasing yellow phase sunbursts.

Second pic......this color morph was first called "candy corn" as far back as 2013, iirc. very different from inferno and other morphs.

Looks nice but doesn't necessarily look like anything I've seen with a vanity name.

Man..........
If I knew I would give you that but I don't.
Only thing I know is my No3 sits at 12ppm and my ALK at 8.02 due to the test from my KHG.
