Your comment suggested that UVA comes from the sun while UVB is strictly man-made, and you sir...are wrong. Just open up the subtypes under your first suggested link..wiki. Resin also acts as a sunblock for the plant, so it isn't a huge surprise to me that UVB plays a role with it, somehow.

OH...well in that case.....my opinion stays the same.

Yes, I am. The sun emits more than just UVA. Did you take the time to read the link I posted? Probably not, but these guys have some show and tell on it. So..you should read it.

The sun puts out shitloads of UV. A lot more than that 10w bulb will. Here's some good info. https://www.rollitup.org/advanced-marijuana-cultivation/497246-uva-uvb-real-deal-must.html

IMO, no that is not enough light, maybe for ONE small plant. Sounds like you got around 3500 lumens total and if I'm remembering correctly the lower wattage the bulb the less penetration it has. Been reading some good things about UVB bulbs, seems to help push out a lot of FAT resin heads. But...

No real problem concerning the single bladed leaves on the Skunk. She'll be getting some water tomorrow. Going to be topping her within the next day or two, I'll just have to try it since I didn't get a simplified explanation...but I think I get it now anyway. As for the EJ, she got thoroughly...

First set of leaves are showing some discoloration on the Skunk, I'll be watching that closely. Probably going to trade off from a 24/0 schedule to a 20/4 schedule for the remainder of veg starting tonight or tomorrow. New growth is coming in pretty slowly. Going to pull out my soil test kit and...

Holy crap! 82F during the day with the poly curtain closed and the door, and I haven't added any more bulbs. So this tells me it will definitely be ran during the night for flowering. If anyone can help me out with the whole fimming/topping thing, that would be great. I read Uncle Ben's thread...

Temps stayed at 79 through the night, last night, even after adding the 5th bulb so we're in decent shape. My aim is 8 bulbs total. Gotta get more Y-splitters, thought I had more but can only find 3. Unemployed atm, trying to get a job before the switch so I know when the best time is for lights...

A bulb was added over the skunk making it a total of 5 - 40 watt bulbs. Also watered the skunk with a half gallon to thoroughly soak the soil since it hadn't been done since before the seed was planted. Considering topping the skunk so that the EJ can catch up a bit before the switch. Was going...

Skunk: 11 days EJ: 3 days 3 - 40 watters over the skunk, and 1 - 40 watter over the EJ.

I forgot to mention that I started a BUKU at first to run with the Skunk but, as some are seeing, BUKU isn't that reliable. The seed was horrible, when it popped the taproot split the whole side..then it like prematurely grew or something.. then it rotted out. I'm not the best grower out there...

1st pic: Everything that I am using except for the pH stuff. 2nd & 3rd pic: Skunk #1. 4th pic: Emerald Jack.

Noticed I never mentioned anything about my pH either. I use pH up & down from Petsmart, and for testers, just those simple pond test strips/soil test kit I got from Lowes. Not high quality shit, gets the job done pretty well IMO though. Haven't had a pH problem since buying this after my first...

PICTURES!...to come late tonight. :clap:...not excellent quality, more like, "well at least I can see it" quality.

Weeeeeeewooooooooooo

The EJ has made her way through the soil, and the Skunk has a new set of leaves, also soil is almost bone dry, I expect to water thoroughly tonight. Thought it was overwatering that caused the leaves to start cupping under, and I think I hit that nail right on its head. Leaves have straightened...

OOPS...may have overwatered. Either that or slight stress from the low humidity. Right now the temp is 72F and 28% humidity. The 3 liter helped...slightly, I was sitting at 20% humidity. But regardless growth was stopped/slowed. Letting the soil dry out almost all the way before I water again...

Just changed out the 4 20+ watters for 3 40 watters, put 3-liter bottle of ice in the corner by the oscillating fan..so we'll see if this helps. Just checked on the EJ and she has popped showing a nice taproot. Other than that..gave the skunk seedling a little bit of water..still looking very...
