It has been brought to my attention that people have started adding "UVB" light systems to there grows/plants because its been found that the effects of the UV light on cannabis will increase the production and potency of the plants.
**A researcher conducted a controlled experiment in a greenhouse. He lit a group of high potency plants similarly except with the addition of UVB light to some groups. He found that the percentage of THC increased in a direct ratio with the increase in UVB light. This research confirms the adage that high altitude plants are more potent than those grown at low altitudes. If you look at old-world land races of cannabis, plants that have become adapted to the climate and latitude, the ratio of THC to CBD starts at 100 : 1 at the equator. At the 30th parallel (The Hindu-Kush Valley) the plants have a ratio of 50 : 50. At the 45th parallel the ratio is near 1 : 100. This corresponds roughly with the amount of UVB light received at these latitudes. There is much more UVB at the equator than the 45th parallel. How can you get more UVB light to your plants? Certainly it's true that MH lamps emit more UVB light than HPS lamps. Still the amount that MH lamps emit is small. In fact, many manufacturers use UVB shielding glass to filter out most of the UVB that's produced. The UVB light the plant receives from an MH lamp does increase the plant's potency slightly at the cost of yield, but there are better ways to introduce UVB light into the grow room. They include reptile lights, which emit about 10% UVB, and tanning lamps. The problem with using these lamps is that they are
associated with increased number of cancers and many other problems. They
should not be on when you are in the grow room Not much research has been conducted onusing them to produce higher THC values. I will do a side by side test/study, I will post up pictures with my reports/notes on my findings, and will all find out if this is 100% TRUE or if its 100% FALSE.
Has anyone ever grew with UVB light systems before? If so, please share your outcome of your
project, and or pictures if you had took any. That'd be great!!
The company that the rep worked at that gave the free 800 Budzilla system to me is working on UVB light system this year is what he was telling me when I was talking with him, and had told me that he would send one of those to try out aswell.
In the meantime I will be using the light I was telling y'all about to conduct the test.
Wusup dank....my homie i got my light and tent n everything from gave me eye hortilux 430w bulb and the 30w over 400 is UV rays...he said from his 6 years exp that it works ! so im taking his word for it..
)
What's up bro? Oh just busy as hell here as usual,lol..
but hey we gotta love it!
That's cool the dude is assuring you that it infact dodes work. I still will also be conducting the test on my end though. I gotta see 4 myself type persons, lol..
Idk if I will get all that much of a difference with just the light I will get here soon, but hey its worth a shot..
Well, thanks 4 letting me know that info though..
We'll hide 200k seeds in a hollowed out section of the transmission (if it works for getting cocaine from mexico to Cali, why won't it work for seeds?) hahahaha.. I am kidding, mostly.
