Yeah I just skimmed through this thread and overall it sounds like results from uvb are definitely worth the investment. Do you know of anyone supplementing uvb with tanning bed bulbs? A ballast and 400w of 8-10% usable uvb with better penetration for about 160 bucks? If exposure is cut to the 6 hours with high noon and 15-20 min exposure, arent we just "tanning" the ladies? Newb with q's :)

**all the uvb fluoros/cfls/mercury/tanning/etc are just trying to add the missing purple wave indoors (which is HID/CMH/CFLs all are lacking)..

--normal high noon u/Cw are 350-400+ (dependant on where on Earth) .,
--@t 400uCw ..you wont just be tanning, youll be burning... slowly :)


--go w/ reptile bulbs for now, unless you can get high-powered UVb machinery... *goodluck

So do those kessels add the purple spectrum you're talking about? I though the purple spectrum was actually ultraviolet? How do you add the missing uv that you say HID's don't provide? I thought the only thing blocking uv light was the glass from the hoods? Am I totally off? I'm confused...

yeah just attempting to supplement a 600 watt hps, interesting read that equilateral sativas are more finicky, I'll keep that in mind when setting up the timer, I just went to the pet store and saw these repti glo 26w flouro tubes for 30 bucks a piece... not trying to be cheap but why buy 8 when i can buy 2 tanning bulbs and raise them higher above the canopy.

and nope, unfortunately I only have access to BHO motivated dreams, let alone high-powered equipment to make them true :D

in a 3x4x8 should i just hand them vertically in the corners or do rows horizontally?

Canna appreciate the quick feedback, thanks man :blsmoke:

hps has no uv spectrum, Mh does have some and certain glass is made to deflect it, so yes they are made to deflect the uv spectrum, but are designed to decrease exposure for humans not grow sticky icky buds :)

**PAR isnt Ultra violet = come correct mr sin city ;)

--UV is the purple wave i speak of :) ; glass does reduce UVb/UVc/UVa waves passing thru it~

--kessils will not ADD the UVb missing... i say again, unless its S.E.T.I military spec'd diodes ==then yes, your LEDs would be emittingg UVb.. if not SETi... its bS~

--do rows, and try alternating the expo rates from 3-6hrs a day :) w/ repti bulbs @t 10.0

Haha, thanks.
So which UV type do I want to use if I could only choose one (a,b,c)?
I think this might be the reason my buds aren't sticy like the bud I get from cali. Both times I got bud from cali growers, it was really sticky to the touch. What do you think?

**UVa will help ripen the floral clusters, UVb will help promote THC+ & resin production, UVc will help jump start 'cbd'... --side research..

...all this is not published work, just from some' mad green cannabis researcher ;)
