If it comes back to bite me then I likely won't take cuttings from anybody unless its some super rare strain that I have been wanting, which so far has only happened a few times, all before growing and i'm growing out a couple of those now
I'm super jealous of the lights!!! My order still says in production, my guess is the chips for my strips did not come in, that or i'm getting the run around about them. I've been in dark period since this morning, and lights come on in a few hours. Say i was using proven UVB sources, is it really only beneficial to use the last few weeks of flower? I was planning on using them starting around week 3 or 4, i still have a lot of work to do as well, but need the strips. If i end up not getting them, what are suggestions of other options? obviously for this purpose price is not main concern

the agromax pure uv is good its just the profile of it is 
and its over kill been using it for 2 grows so far I think I can get another 2 or 3 grows out of the bulbs only running them 15 to 45 min a day. the agros should last u a year so if u get a fixture what I did and just did bulbs works good for my area just would like to do the whole thing in a strip not a 4ft t5. the agromax will show u the power of uv b so give it a shot up to u

I have always thought if I had them I'd do the same as you've explained. Ditch the fixture and just run bullet connectors to the t5 pins. Have you posted a pic of it on this thread?the agromax pure uv is good its just the profile of it is
Unless I've misunderstood you haha.

With the COVID-19 there won't be any Weed for Warriors meetings for a bit. They said we will be informed when they know they can schedule one again. Glad i'm stocked up and have more on the way. The lights are in service, except 240 Watts of 3000k which will go on soon, and 100W of UVA mixed with some reds, and the 100W of UVB. Just didn't want to go from 400W to 1240W right away, so went from 400W to 800W. The UV will go on no sooner than week 3, still debating when to turn it on, and i don't even have it all yet, stilllllllllllllllllllllllllllll waiting on the UVB strips. Then i still wanted to kind of cover the whole ceiling with mylar.

You can solder your wires instead of using the connectors. Not as flexible, of course, but at least it allows you to use the strips.
