Any of the reptisun or arcadia bulbs that are 10-15% USB will work good in that 4X4. Use 2 3' or 4' bulbs if you can fit those. There's 2' ballasts and fixtures too that will be probably even cheaper

what be a good wattage to go with the 12% 3ft lg. ?

I am running 1 39watt 34’ 6% Arcadia for 12hrs after stretch in a 3x3 with great results. I am using qb132’s

I got a 4 x 4 , with 2 pcs, of 260 q.b.'s from h.l.g. Would a 30 watt 6 % running help my ladies or need more . ( running 12 hr.) ?

Again, that is only UVA. Their lowest NM is 365. So far from the 285 UVB is at.

They also do 285nm uv-b



But these are the flo tubes that do the biz

Solacure Flower Power UVR8 280-320nm 1000mm - Hydro Grow Eastbourne

Only Solacure lamps have the UVR8 effect Virtually no lamps produce UVB in the 280-320nm range due, in part, to the limitations of the glass. Solacure lamps are the sole exception as they use a type of glass designed specifically for transparency across the entire UVB spectrum. This patented...

For a 4x4 use two 14% arcadia 115 cms 54 watts each one .I would start using them in veg 1 hour a day..then increasing until about 4 hours at time of flip..then increasing until 10 -12 hours last weeks of flowering...anyway each strain is different..you should find the exact time in your aituation...

30 mw per led of 285 nm is quite potent...maybe a problem for light distribution in 4x4 and 3x3 tents...but very interesting for larger spaces and big plants...

see reply from nachooo above

Well..I guess that starting with 3 hours a day and increasing 1 hour a day until 10-12 hours.. could be a good approach...but you must find it for yourself...just watch for signs of UVB damage in case you give too much UVB or your plants do not like it for whatever reason... I mean bleaching. canoeing in upper leaves...similar damage that heat and light burn...

I like the solacure as well and have been recommending it.
Did you guys see migros test on the u.v floros. According to his test the solacure was very weak and he speculates that is because of the built in reflector. I on the other hand wonder if his testing equipment is actually up to the task.

Hmmmm. I wasn't aware he did a vid on them. I'll have to check that out for myself. All i know, is thee most powerful UVB flouro out there are the PureUV from AgroMax. But they have 75%uvb and 25%uva when you want vice versa.
If you want power, those are the absolute go to.
We're talking like 15mins on of the middle 4 hours of a 12hr flower schedule. Totalling an hour of on time.
Random blame schooled me on those a while back.

I miss his Ass man... Where the Fuck did @Randomblame go anyhow? :'(

I have seen other people doubting about migros equipment too...

I never talked with them, but I ordered one. They’re offering an additional 10 percent off when you sign in, so it’s not priced too high at only 90 dollars. I’m going to put it over half of my 5x5 and see if I notice a difference. I might buy a second one if it works. You only need 1-2 watts per square foot of UVB.
