Even uv-b producing more THC or thcV really, I don't entirely agree with. More data is needed from lab testing imho. We are short on that end of the stick.I wouldn't put any UVC in there. Never shown to do anything for Cannabis potency. No plant can use UVC because none ever hit it in the history of the world. Just leave the UV supplementation to the users. Do you WANT to be sued for blinding people and killing every living thing that the light touches? Can't see how that would be a good thing. I also wouldn't bother with the far reds. Again, if people want far red they can get it themselves. With your lights, they don't have a choice. Far red makes plants stretch and not branch. Not everybody wants that. Why not just sell separate small far red units? That's what Rottweiler does. Anyway, obviously you can design the light however you want. Just pointing out that not everybody wants UV or FR. I won't buy lights with those in them.
Sides by sides as well, I think are poor predictors of the type of results we are looking as well. I know they are poor predictors. Especially if you believe in something like 20% genetics/80% environment. Clones of the same "pheno" will be different right next to each other in chemical profiles. That is the one of the only thing thing "known" at this point.
Side by sides are useless without a control and the "control" mechanism itself isn't even in place either. See what's happening?......
