No problem man, you pointed me in the right direction. Many Thanks. This video explained it perfectly and also makes me think there is little use for the Amazon light being right at the end of the UVA spectrum.

at about the 10:00 mark, he shades in an area just below 400 and says that it's important for photosynthesis but slightly below the PAR threshold of 400. so the 380 to 400 range is important as well.

Yes he does but I am not trying to benefit photosynthesis, I am trying to increase trichome production. That happens at the lower wave lengths. Great video though.

i think the 2 go hand in hand: photosyn and trich production.
but yes, a good video.

maybe i missed it but does he go into ratio of uv-b to uv-a? my T5 is 75% B and 25% A. i wonder if that's a good ratio or just what the bulb mfg decided upon?

Remember the part about sunburn. The UB-b hurts them a little bit and in response they produce more "protection" with extra trichomes. IMO cause I'm an internet scientist :eyesmoke:

i tried to mimic that by running my bulb during what would be the highest uv part of the day (from 10 am to 2pm at the beach) for just 5 mins on per hour in that window.

What I got out of that was that the further down the spectrum you go the more it hurts the plants. The more you hurt them the more they will try to protect themselves. I can run my UVA the whole 12/12 cycle and it works well. If I did that with UVB it would kill them. I have read it damages the plants cells. There is apparently a fine like where you can damaged them with UVB and end up with more potent THC but I cannot prove that. From what I understand my UVA will increase trichome production but not potency. Will be cool to watch BK's next run and see what kind of difference it makes.

Just browsed your journal bro. Your plants are beastly, you got a nice technique going on for sure.

How much does the ACMPR licensed allow you to grow? Going by your grows seems like the answer is a truckload.

i agree. i almost melted my leaves teh first time i used my bulb.

the one thing about the A that i didn't know was the secondary stuff it helped like cannbinoids, terpenes, etc.

this article pretty much sums up what bruce said:

Is UV Light Important for Cannabis?

UVA light has been shown to increase secondary metabolite activity in many plants, and this is also the case with cannabis. The most important secondary metabolites from a cannabis grower’s …

29 + the allowed legal 4 plant per household

34 plants in total. I could get a much larger script, but it’s not needed at my house. I’ve never came close to reaching my plant count as it is.

do they have an enforcement division that "could" knock on your door and demand to see your grow and plant count?

I can only speak for BC but cops here seem pretty chill. I was helping a friend take down his room. Guess some smell got out and the cops showed up regarding a smell complaint. Friend showed him his licensed, said it won't happen again but the police asked if they could come back to inspect the room. Everyone is acting very polite, my friend said now is not a good time and to please call him to arrange a time. They ended up calling him 2 days later to come back for a visit over a week later. I found this all very odd... he's fully compliant but if he wasn't he would have had more than enough time to get rid of some extra plants. Anyways, cops show up, head straight to the basement, do a plant count, make no mention of the room, equipment etc, don't ask to see anywhere else in the home and then they left. This was 1.5 years ago and they have never been back.

Are you thinking about getting your acmpr as well? Do you need some contacts of some doctors that’ll do it all over Skype?

let me know.

I don't live in Canada bro. Just interested to know how much your government let's you grow for medical use. It's a really high plant count for 1 person. I woukd like to meet the punter that can consume the proceeds of a rotating 33 plant grow if he can even get out the front door.

Everyone in Canada is allowed 4 plants, I have the smallest acmpr license available at 5g a day consumption which equals the 29 plant count.

who figured that 29 plants equates to 5 gram a day?

I average about 3 ounces a week from 8 and I'm sure that you are pulling more than I am.
