Not right now because I mainly grow GG#4 and it doesn't need any help in the potency department,I've had numerous people say it's too strong.

I concur. Especially the gg4 rosin and hash. Oh man. It was like getting high when I was 16 years old all over again.

Hy, did you grow the gg4 rosin and hash? Is that cut only or seeds are around?

Yeah I grew it. It's clone only.

There's a few options with UVB bulbs. You can utilize elongated T5 bulbs, such as the ones captainmorgan shared, or CFL bulbs. I haven't used the T5 before but rather the 13W UVB CFL bulbs from Reptisun:
They make 26W CFL UVB bulbs as well. I'd like to think that the elongated T5 bulbs would better serve at spread distribution but may lack the proper intensity necessary to make a difference at given distances. Again, I haven't played around with the UVB T5 bulbs but the CFL bulbs definitely made a difference during my trial. If I go digging, I may be able to come across some journal notes about how they fared.

I use the t5 ho 54w arcadia reptile. It's 48" long and fits my space nicely.There's a few options with UVB bulbs. You can utilize elongated T5 bulbs, such as the ones captainmorgan shared, or CFL bulbs. I haven't used the T5 before but rather the 13W UVB CFL bulbs from Reptisun:

I had it attached to the bottom of my cob bar and I think it worked fine. I recently raised up my cob bar and I think the uvb bulb is too far from the canopy so I'm trying to rig an alternative set-up.
The former member kitehigh has a lot of info posted on RIU about his experiments and conclusions on UVB supplementation.

captain do you place the t5 in the center of the 3x3 or move it around? Also what height have you found to give the best outcomes?

I use these except from rapid....They have a wired version that Rapid itself offers and I also have a set [x2] under BJB solderless holders for XP-E XT-E, etc.

that one from cutter looks easy to use
next time I order i'll add some
what kind of driver to use ? i got a extra 185 700 meanwell
cutter is way cheaper for 3 led pcb solderless than the rapidled 3 led stars solder by $4

I was thinking about buying some too!
But isn't it better to have multiple 1w instead of 3x1w for a better spread?
Is 9x1w in a 4x4 would be enough?

i don't know if it's better to spread them out or have clusters ?
anyone have a suggestion ?

Yeah, I will have to look into that.....I had bought from RapidLEd before Cutter started showing up, Good deal!
I use really cheap, 350ma 12v Ebay specials, get em for a buck, 10x at a time
Anything works, I believe they will handle 1000mA or in the neighborhood imho Spread max exposure over surface area for 730nm, but always open to debate

I bought some 10watt led floods 2 years ago for project around the house never did it & i'm gonna open them up & see what driver in them
I need some waterproof far red in my greenhouse for next summer gro so that's my idea is retro fit the housings
and my 3590 @ 1600 watt build needs red leds also but I need those now as building is going well
