There is quite a bit of information on Gray Wolf’s site about this http://skunkpharmresearch.com/
Awesome, beautiful plants and well thought out with the capsules.. sub'd and +rep!
Yes, that he does. Is why I subbed, +rep, and hope to learn tons from RIU's Fox2 news guy
As long as your UVB is a decent amount, and you don't toast the leaves or base of the plant with it.. you should definitely see a solid increase in trichome formation.. I can't wait to see what your high-end trichome producers do with even more UVB =)Thanks guys!!!
I really hadn't planned to continue this thread beyond my last grow but things have changed. I might not be updating this next grow as thoroughly as my last grow but it should still be worth checking out.
The current grow is already under way. The set up is the same as before expect this time i will be adding some UVB lighting to see how it effects potency. I will be lab testing again as always to confirm the final results. The line up this time will be 4 AK-47's, 2 Cheesequakes, 1 Cannatonic and 1 Jack the Ripper (Pink Lemonade Pheno). The Jack the Ripper was gifted to me by a fellow RIU member, and i'm pretty excited about it (thanks again man!). I also have 2 Fat Purple seeds that i just germinated, they will be grown for potential mother plants for my next grow and will not be flowered any time soon unfortunately.
The plants are a little over one week into veg right now, going to give them another week before i switch them into flowering.

That's the rumor, but I've never seen anyone back it up with any sort of proof. That's why i will be lab testing to see if cannabinoid levels have actually increased. I'm mainly going to focus on the AK-47 for this seeing that I have already lab tested the same cut already in 4 different grows, it also has a decent amount of Afghan in it's genetics so its ideal for a UVB test. I just ordered 5 26w cfl 10.0 uvb reptile lights last night, they should be here just in time for flowering.
Thanks!
Yeah, I drilled the exact size holes in the bucket lids so the cages plug right in with a nice tight fit.
I would highly recommend you only use it for the very last few days, anything before that may cause a decrease in yield based on what I've read in some other test journals from growers around the world, depending on the amount of UVB used, how close it is, and the ability of the strain to handle UVB (as if it were grown outdoors, as opposed to some strains that are specifically designed for indoors, with less UVB(statistically))
I've read plenty of debate on exactly when to use the UVB lights and i'm going to treat it like the majority of information on this site, as bullshit. Nothing personal against anyone but i like to do the homework myself to draw my own conclusions. I want to see results, may that be cooked leaves, bigger trichs, increased potency, or reduced yield, i want to see them myself.
Fully respect that, and can't wait to see your results!
Is the Cannatonic a cutting from your 1st Cannatonic or did you start a mother plant ?Another update, nothing too special though....
I thought i put the plants into flowering a few days ago on Tues or Wed but it turns out i only set one of my two light timers correctly... I didn't notice it until today so now today is day 1 of flowering for the AK-47, Cheesequake, Cannatonic, and Jack the Ripper.
My Fat Purple babies are still vegging away, nothing to exciting there either....
On with the pics!

I have a mother plant for all my strains, I take clones from them to do my actual grows with.
No, just hoping at least one of the two will be a female that I'll take cuts from to grow out in my dwc hydro system.
Thanks man, I'm looking forward to the results too!
