I can not say I know exactly what im talking about as I'm sure the science behind it all is very complicated. But I have the jist of it.
Sun gives UV, marijuana 'developed' thc to protect it from UV, therefore more UV = more bud. Or so it goes.
The first article by Ed Rosenthal has many spelling mistakes which make me doubt it to start with. I know its probably been copied but still. On top of that the only comment about UV increasing yeilds is this quote:
"UVB light also affects
marijuana potency. The potency of high quality
marijuana increases in direct ratio to the amount of UVB light it receives. This is very significant. In California, where the medical dispensaries operate in an unrestricted market, many dispensaries reject fall-harvested outdoor material, deeming it as inferior. They have found it lacks the potency of indoor crops and is a harsh smoke."
All he does is make a statement with no proof or explanation at all. Later he mentions testing with different light spectrums and says he this:
"Try using between 20 and 40 watts of mixed blue light per 1000 watts of regular light.
I have done only initial experimentation with this so test this in a limited way of increasing total yield."
Which is again very vague and tbh pritty stupid. 40 watts of blue ain't going do shit with 1000w of HPS there.
The second article is just him saying they are experimenting with different lights. Again that doesnt mean shit.
And the key point, how much do those lights cost? How many harvests do you need to break even on buying one of those, including the savings in electricity. Compare this to a HPS and bingo you have a very obvious solution.
To 206, sorry that was a pritty lame statement i made but ive been watching this for a while out of curiosity and i see all these people talking in here with their false hope for this magical new technology which creates wonder buds.
Not to be a complete douche but have you actually harvested 2-3 zips from this 100w light?
How big is the plant which produces 2-3 ounce of buds?
How long did it take from start to flowering with one of those?
