bulb is not for new growers, don't get it to close, start at 36 inches away in some cases growers use less time, some suggest just 15 min on a few times a day

just be aware that it can burn your plants, even kill em UV is nothing to mess with also do not stare at it, it can burn you too

Where would I mount this in my tent? I'm getting the single 4ft fixture and lamp from htg now.

All my units have t8 on them I wonder how much a t5 uv differs from a t8 uv.

Do I run this with my hps?

With that just remove the glass you'll get the uv.

HPS does not have UV

Could it be that certain strains do well and others don't? This is a cookie strain that produces small yields anyway so maybe the added light, air and co2 will help it.

c02? All the c02 in the world isn't gonna do shit without leaves

yes, run em at the same time, if ya notice any burning either put the UV on a timer or raise it more

yeah doze botany books all explain how the stomata on the leaves exchange gases O2 & CO2 as well as how they transpire da water back into da atmosphere

amazing how bro science & forum rhetoric trumps botany and actual science LOL

I don't add co2. Was referring to opening up the airflow through the plants

This is 10 days after the plant on the right was defoiled,, plant left not defoiled

please remember that shaving your pubes makes your dick look bigger LOL

Growers also should understand the leaves function as in gas exchange via stomata

Case closed thank you very much.

Although I can;t wait to do a side by side comparison of my own.

and you should, every one should with regard to all things

You see me posting things matter of factually ,,,,,,,,,, it's because I've done the experiments, the side by sides and I've read the botany & science books and been watchin this plant grow for over 40 years ,,,,,,,,,,,,

and even with what I know I tell new growers don't take my word, do it for yourself tis the best way to learn

I enjoy reading your threads, lots of knowledge there and I like the fact that your pictures basically wash away any bro science. Im also started reading the Growth Chamber Handbook I came across on one of your threads. Unfortunately I'm still very much a newbie, so most of the time I'm finding ways to fix my older mistakes. Plus, I haven't got any space for more grows, but I'm waiting until I get a tent to start any experiments.

You will not get a straight answer either way personally I remove big fans the original ones and the new younger ones take over I do this gradually over flower my plants don't look that bare until 2 weeks before the end when I strip the yellow leaves I have gotten bigger yeilds this way but they only straight answer you will find is one time do it the next don't and come up with your own answer

I have been playing around with DE leaving now for 2 years. And find not to take the leaves off to early leave them on until the last 2 weeks

I'm bout to post another one
