Ya, RandomBlame warned multiple times of the exceptional and overkill power of the PureUV.I did 5 minutes a day at like 20" from week 2 flower and the plants were burned and finished weak. Never doing full cycle with agromax again. I'll do 5 minutes last two weeks and see how that works. Maybe up at 30"or higher.
im trying to figure out how much he did im going over kill 15 mins every other hour for a 4x8 room bought 4 4fters of the pure uv going to have the whole tent evenly spready with uv. u think this would be fine its going to be almost 3 ft above the canopy going to be using it prob around the last few weeks of flower when the plant stops stretching prob two weeks from thatYa, RandomBlame warned multiple times of the exceptional and overkill power of the PureUV.
One 4 ft per 4X4, 15 mins on an hour for the middle 4 hrs of the 12on cycle. That's all you want in mid flower. Less at first few weeks. Hang 30" or more.im trying to figure out how much he did im going over kill 15 mins every other hour for a 4x8 room bought 4 4fters of the pure uv going to have the whole tent evenly spready with uv. u think this would be fine its going to be almost 3 ft above the canopy going to be using it prob around the last few weeks of flower when the plant stops stretching prob two weeks from that
This is one of the reasons i see against florou uv: unless youre running a bulb constantly at low height and low uv intensity youre probably running something high up and switching it on and off, both things that go against commonsense:im trying to figure out how much he did im going over kill 15 mins every other hour for a 4x8 room bought 4 4fters of the pure uv going to have the whole tent evenly spready with uv. u think this would be fine its going to be almost 3 ft above the canopy going to be using it prob around the last few weeks of flower when the plant stops stretching prob two weeks from that
i always suggest the 2ft to people first. the 4ft is a killer bulb if starting out.im trying to figure out how much he did im going over kill 15 mins every other hour for a 4x8 room bought 4 4fters of the pure uv going to have the whole tent evenly spready with uv. u think this would be fine its going to be almost 3 ft above the canopy going to be using it prob around the last few weeks of flower when the plant stops stretching prob two weeks from that
i hang the 2ft high in a 4x4 & it works well. burned the hell out of some flowers in a 2.5 x4 x5 years ago.This is one of the reasons i see against florou uv: unless youre running a bulb constantly at low height and low uv intensity youre probably running something high up and switching it on and off, both things that go against commonsense:
Higher hanging height for the entire light loses intensity and increases the need for wattage and switching bulbs on and off every hour is detrimental to the bulb, which isnt all that cheap or long lasting either. Leds can give you solution for both these problems.
Their probably gonna be 3 feet or higher will it do damage at that height and being rand for 45 mins the whole cyclei hang the 2ft high in a 4x4 & it works well. burned the hell out of some flowers in a 2.5 x4 x5 years ago.
Buy a DIMMABLE T5HO BALLAST.Their probably gonna be 3 feet or higher will it do damage at that height and being rand for 45 mins the whole cycle
TRUE UV-B diodes are closer than they've ever been to a viable option. I honestly can't wait to see it become a widespread addition on boards. Not these Lame Ass 390nm "uva" you see claimed on boards now, but the REAL 285nm UV-B diodes we all have seen.This is one of the reasons i see against florou uv: unless youre running a bulb constantly at low height and low uv intensity youre probably running something high up and switching it on and off, both things that go against commonsense:

which makes me wonder what the 100% uvb bulbs that htg sold years ago were nm wise ?If you go down to 280 you start getting a lot of UVC from lefthandside of the spectrum. 285 works and is safer for you and your plants
No idea.which makes me wonder what the 100% uvb bulbs that htg sold years ago were nm wise ?
HTG is AgroMax. The PureUV bulb is 75% uvb and 25% uva.which makes me wonder what the 100% uvb bulbs that htg sold years ago were nm wise ?
you don't want 285 nm..its too low..the diodes you need don't seem to be available ..If you go down to 280 you start getting a lot of UVC from lefthandside of the spectrum. 285 works and is safer for you and your plants
Guess i missunderstood you. But yes, there are uvb 285 diodes on stars around...you don't want 285 nm..its too low..the diodes you need don't seem to be available ..
