Yeah, I wouldn't dump money into it unless your going to stay at your house for a long timeYea I had my HVAC guy install a UV-C light in my ducting system so spores are killed, works great but its pricey.
Can you post the source?Finally, researchers appear to have identified the actual pathway of exactly how UVB affects THC production. While the analysis is somewhat technical, we’ll do our best to outline the results below. Ready?
UVB causes damage in plants in much the same way as it damages human skin, and plants created defenses against UVB in the form of a protein called UVR8.
UVR8 is a protein molecule which senses UV, and then “tells” plant cells to change their behavior. Exactly how UVR8 molecules sense UV was recently discovered and is pretty interesting. UVR8 is what chemists call a “dimer,” which simply means that it’s made of two structurally similar protein subunits. When UV light hits the two protein subunits in UVR8, their charge weakens and they break apart. To help visualize this, imagine rubbing two balloons against one another. The balloons will stick together because of a static charge. Now imagine the balloons get rained on. The water takes the static charge with it and the two balloons fly apart. In this example, the balloons are the two protein subunits and the rain is UV light cascading down on the plant cell. After the protein subunits break apart, they head to the cell nucleus to deliver their information.
One of these changes caused by this reaction is very important in your cannabis garden. UV stress stimulates cannabis’ production of chemicals via the phenylpropanoid pathway, specifically malonyl-CoA and phenylalanine. Why is this important? Because cannabis uses malonyl-CoA to make Olivtol, which it in turn uses to make THC. So finally the specific pathway which increases Cannabis potency when exposed to UV light is understood, and we can use this information to our advantage.
None of those.Which one is the control subject?
the quote is from a blog article, I believe the source study is hereCan you post the source?
Try it.I'm very skeptical of UV making any difference at all in THC. I hear it a lot.. I've seen the studies... but it's just not enough to convince me. There's just not enough data for me to make a good conclusion.
I've tried a lot more than you think. (Even a coffin of tubes including actinic).Try it.
I know but what would a rm3 thread be without churchhaze?I've tried a lot more than you think. (Even a coffin of tubes including actinic).
I don't have a right to express my opinion on this? Just to clear things up, this is an RIU thread, not a RM3 thread.I know but what would a rm3 thread be without churchhaze?
Yeah agreed, not because of opinion... but because they suck.. its all in my signature. Then you have this fool with his OOOOOooooOOOoOOoMols.... People that focus on umol/s and PPF instead of PPDF are what make my blood boil lol.I just looked at the fundraising campaign to help RM3 produce an LED lamp....
"High Quality Bridgelux 3W chips"
Straight up, he's looking to design another ripoff lamp to put on the over-saturated market and he wants you to help him fund the startup. RM3, invest in your own business. There's absolutely no reason for anyone to crowd fund yet another garbage product just for your own sake. Literally, people would be better off if they just donated money directly to your living expenses and didn't bother wasting their time with such a nonsense product. Give the beggar some money, then go buy an HPS lamp.
"say no to blurple", then in the picture you see a 660nm epiled. Complete garbage... Complete lie... Something tells me his kindergarten competitors are going to kick his ass. Verified con man...
No good....
umol/s of PAR (or W of PAR) is what matters. PPF is a more important number than PPFD when buying a lamp. A lot of light companies will use reflectors and lenses to get a high PPFD in a very small area, but only PPF (total photon flux) or total power (W of PAR) tells you the whole story.Yeah agreed, not because of opinion... but because they suck.. its all in my signature.

This is vastly inaccurate. I suggest checking your sources. on PPFD.. not PARumol/s of PAR (or W of PAR) is what matters. PPF is a more important number than PPFD when buying a lamp.

Edit: Of course, PPF and power don't make it a good light. That's efficiency and quantum efficacy of the source in umol/J.
Do you plan on starting a lighting company too? Why would I need to check sources? PPFD is PPF/A. When you're buying a lamp, you're buying PPF. When you buy a tent, you're buying A.This is vastly inaccurate. I suggest checking your sources.
