I do find it funny they used stuff from 2009 20011 2013....and say Finally...;)

Don't forget the warnings....

UVB light is already generated by the mercury found in all HID (i.e. HPS and Metal Halide) light sources, but it’s typically blocked by the bulb’s outer glass jacket. Ordinary glass blocks over 90% of UVB radiation, so UVB levels will naturally be a little higher using open fixtures with no glass lens.

Many growers have been aware of the benefits of UVB and have used supplemental lighting to boost potency. However, be aware, there is a threshold where the damage to yield caused by high level UVB will exceed any benefits in potency, so caution and careful design protocols MUST be used when attempting to supplement UVB. It is also VERY important to be EXTREMELY careful using off-the-shelf UVB sources like lizard lights that are not specifically designed for humanexposure, because while sunlight has quite high levels of UVB, the intensity of the sun prevents people from staring straight at it. UVB is invisible, so your eyes can’t tell you if they are getting too much UVB from a UVB light source in your grow room, and your eyes and skin can be damaged if the levels are too high. So it’s worth repeating: Extreme caution must be observed when using secondary UVB supplementation.

LED Grow lights provide a special consideration when it comes to the effects of UVB on Cannabis THC levels. LEDs are extremely frequency specific, and a typical LED grow light with Blue, Red or even White LEDs will generate absolutely NO UVB radiation. While an absence of UVB does not appear to eliminate THC production, it is now proven that it will reduce the THC levels below those grown under sources with adequate UVB levels.

I want to. I will.

I got a lot on my plate right now and a family member about to die any time with stage 4 lung cancer.


I have been making and giving him very strong edibles. Even with the dementia, he smiles and ask if I have any of those chocolates he likes.

It came out in the wash the other day and someone threatened the law on me for doing it. The hospice nurse said they knew from some blood work. The nurse stood up for me and said it was the best medicine he could have, just illegal here.

Everyone is on board now.

I will try for a trip after the first of the year.

No, of course not. But one merely needs to look at the timeline to see it.

No, there is no hard data

and Grandpa weed includes Columbian Gold, Panama Red, Acapulco Gold, Classic Sativa highs that were euphoric, energetic, soaring, trippy, with
No ceiling, more ya smoked the higher ya got
Had legs, high lasted for hours
Zero tolerance issues, same amount smoked was always the same high no matter how much ya smoked
Zero couch lock, only way ya went down was if ya smoked too much

There are still many that remember, we're not all dead yet and you should see the smile on an old timers face when they smoke my weed ,,,,,,,,,,, it's priceless 8)

I haven't done a controlled experiment and my evidence is only opinion.

These are in 15 inch wide pots that hold five gallons. 432 watt t5. I could kill it under hid or a serious cob setup. The two on the right are about 36 inches.

It may very well be placebo that I think its better. Does that matter though, as long as its better?

The pics are my Road to Neverland, bout 60% amber in week 7 and here was my first smoke report,,,,,,,,,,

"Stage 3 success, the Road to Neverland has the two desired traits I was looking for

Yeppers, I couldn't wait, I took a small popcorn tester last night and put it in a one hitter and I was absolutely stoked. Came on hard in the first 20 minutes then slowly creeped taking a bit over an hour to peak. It was still goin strong at 3 hours when I took a bong rip of Holy Fuck and then I was simply high as fuck.

It has the complexity and open airways of CTF with a tad less CBD numbing, the 2 traits I was after are whole head and salivate as opposed to cotton mouth, there is also less desire for munchies. It enhances all senses, audio is like 3d surround from just 2 speakers, colors are deep & vibrant, taste is OMG intense. It is euphoric & energetic, my feet did not stop shakin the whole 3 hours. If you focus, your mind fires on all cylinders, if you drift it seems as if you could literally go anywhere in the universe."

Note: The strain I smoked with Afghan King was Holy Fuck

If you're damn lucky, he'll hand you a joint and invite you to see for yourself.

Booze is booze and nicotine is nicotine, no matter the delivery system- but as we all know, cannabis IS different from strain to strain and under different lighting, etc.

@RM3 is just trying to get a particular combination of factors to get the desired results.

It's not hard to figure out, really.
