indeedioAbsolutely mate, the structures are real nice and will produce big fat colas
i will keep this strain close by.This would be a great start for some testing indeed. Maybe not so much is needed, i do think the close penetration matters as anything more than 30cm away seems to be nearly unaffected. The minor leaf curl you see i can't explain at all except for guessing that the added heat from the UVB bulb (not much) but the suga leaves tips in the buds are twisting also i think due to the oily consistency of them?? here's hoping anyway... it seems to be only on the very skunky stickiest heads, however they all seem to be fairly consistent this round with resin production.Flowa do u not think runnin the uvb less durin the later stages of flower would stop the leaves curlin as much say wk4 flower and at less a time durin your light on period ?? Say 5-6 hours ? Gonna go buy a few soon so i can see the diffrence for myself
The reason i run mine for 12 hours with the HPS is why not eh? i just simply see not heat exhaustion, no sweating, no burnt tips or stress and i am very wary of the UVB height i don't like her any closer than 20 cm from the tip of a cola. The flouro type UVB are cooler and i believe more efficient energy wise and are able to rest against buds! as i have seen in 'Gastanker's' thread. BUT the flouros do NOT emit UVA as the CFL's do. I'm also unaware of the positive effect that UVA has on the colas other than just another form of radioactive heat. The sun gives out Massive amounts of UVA so why not use that as well right? HID lamps glass naturally filters out a good portion of UVA. UVA is the no1 thing that sunscreen is trying to protect all of us from. It is also known as 'Ultra violet' The UVA is just as important to watch out for. From what i've researched there are many softwood plants that inhibit the natural instinct to protect themselves from the suns rays, and cannabis seems to be one of them with the added sunscreen effect from UVB+UVA it maybe protecting it from further cell damage thus only increasing in potency and immunity. If the plant can protect itself, pump the UVB into her
i would love to see more testing on this as it's quite limited trial wise with a 1 plant monster plant grow.Thanx for your input! greatly appreciated.
