**just got back from browsing the noobie forum and plant problems... uummm... compost tea will pretty much solve 80% of most noob dilemmas .. shit ive used synthetics since day1 (was a GH/AN whore).. and still do on occassion (hey its fun feeling like a chemist mixing 8-16 different colorful liquids), but its not for new bootys.. since those are the guys who dont read manuals before operating something​

i stumbled on this thread and ended up reading the whole thing!! I wont go into the details but i am using large CFLs(check my jourbal if you like). I decided to go to the pet store and get a couple uvb lamps. Ill make this happen tomorrow. I think its going to make a difference for me at a very small cost. My question is in regards to exposure times for these lights. Do i have them to run on the same 12/12 as my other lights or should I limit the time these lamps are on through the day. Planning on 2 x 10.0 bulbs. Thanks :)

*if you got any Qs about uvb/cannabis.. just stop by here and ask away ;)

--goodluck
 
If these plants haven't seen UV before, I'd break them in a bit slowly. I just transplanted 3 week old seedlings into their final 7 gal pots. I'll leave things alone for a few days, then start them off with 15 minute bursts with the bulb a bit farther away. Then I up the duration. I've never left the UV on for 12 hours, but maybe 8 total. My gut says that's as good as 12 but I have no data at all.

This is what I use: http://www.reptileuv.com/megaray-eb-60-watt-flood-uvb-lamp-kit.php

*in-regards to the uvb exposure times and levels.. just take outdoors as an example.. there are uvb peaks/lows.. you can mimic those levels.. or i just made my life simpler by just leaving the uvb on 12/12.. but only messing with the signal strength of the uvb waves;)
 
Yes, I agree. 12 hours is simple and might be better to boot. I also wouldn't be surprised if some day they found that 4 hours was all it took.Who knows without understanding the exact biochemical contribution UV-b has / does.

My 8 hours is sort of oriented around a midday peak, then I program in 15 minute breaks toward the end of the day. I don't think that's a big deal at all, but it just seemed safe.
