Ok i still haven't found the info on uvb radiation and envirolite cfl's but i did find research relating to the fact that just two twenty min a day lights on from some uvb lights is good enough to increase thc etc etc and longer light periods make little more difference.

Maybe its been covered on this thread already but thoughts and feedback on this would be good. Peace

Humans should get 15 minutes of sun every day. Where this is difficult (like winter) then large doses of vitamin D will offset. Based on this, I am inclined to believe no more than 2xs a day @ lights on/off. The question I have is where to place the light.... if it doesn't have a wide radiation pattern, how much of a benefit is it?

So i dont need to run UVB lights all day long just couple of short burst.

What is the difference between a low dose of uvb for a long time and a high dose of uvb for a short time with marijuana plants? Is one way better than the other. Peace

*ive noticed longer uvb exposure times & higher doses 'stunt(s)' flower production in some sativa dom strains, tho indys seem to be able to take uvb stress tests better...

--low dose expo just triggers stress-like reponses from MJ, --in-turn ..slightly increases terpene/oil/resin production (just an early observation)

Its quite a complicated subject i am realising, many different considerations, nothing involving growing weed ever seems that straight forward or is it just us stoners like to overcomplicate things.

I will keep on looking for the envirolite uvb emissions, good thread, learnt a lot. Peace

How do you like the Adjust-a-Wing? That was my first reflector choice when I decided to try cmh, but I haven't bought one yet.

They're great if you have the ventilation. The hottest my basement gets is 76* and that is only after a couple weeks of 95-100* temps. Usually 74* is tops. It also drops to ~52* in the winter.

Now, I try and do runs only in the fall and spring when it's in the mid to upper 60's and not concern myself with heating or cooling. Actually, the cooling is easy compared to paying for heat, since I used blue flame Aladdin heaters for both heat and the CO2. The cost of kero is crazy now.

I've heard MI gets sorta cool, so it might work out well for you. LOL If you decide to go that route, LMK and I'll point you in the right direction.

yea i did some math the other day and found that even 2 600w ballasts doesnt use as much power as a single 1k trip on that huh? GPW with a 600w is way better 1k's are just overkill for anything but a serious warehouse IMO. Ill stick to 1k's haha, the best part is both of the generator and ballast only one cycle =)

contemplating getting some tweezers and crackin that husk tonight when lights come back on, heres hopin its off a lil more than earlier so i can get it off easy, stupid thing feels like a rock and it i dont wanna rip off my precious cotelydons.

I wanna see a doo doo tea recipe specifically for removing seed husk lol o_O

*well doo-doo does have the microorganisms to help aid seedlings during their transitions ;)

--the recipes are a secret... and i dont wana share them...@@@!!!! hhaha j/k

Its the ADD man i know it you start the long ass post then walk away to smoke a bowl and shut down the comp i do it all the time, heres what u do smoke some before you post lol then post HAHAHAHA

jk you lazy man lol hey imma try this tell me what you think i mixed up some sugar in the raw with some citric acid, i wanna feed this with 1/8th strength iguana juice grow as soon as i can get the cotelydons to open and first leaf set start comn out i think this would help boost the bennies in my soil quite a bit hopefully without burning anything because im at such a low strength, what you think man?
Click to expand...
*its called 'burn-out' from the ADHD lolz.. so whats with this citric acid business.. you got a decent link for data on that, cant find any conclusive evi on citric acid use w/ compost teas/soils...

--you cant burn the plant if your only feeding the rhizo ;) thats why i stress the fact that YOU CANT OVERNUTE w/ 100% organic biomass micro/macro "nutes" ...hollah

Thanks. I don't think ventilation will be an issue, and I run co2 so I'm able to run a little hotter anyway...

--powery mildew is forming on most of the bubba stalks, lower... DEFs are now apparent, but overall the plant can still pull thru if some nutes were given.

im of the mindset more oxygen equals better lol the more oxy i get to my roots the better my plants always grow hence why even if i cant afford a smart pot ill take one of my old plastic ones and drill mad holes in it so i can get more oxy to my medium. =)

However i did not think there was enough nutrients in bottled water to support a bud plant that long at least as green as you have them without some cannabalizing of nutrients from the leaves.

*there are DEFs now visible sprouting among the bottom shoots.. but thats expected since.. like you stated.. how is it lasting that long on bottled water :).. its prolly doing what it can to survive.. its weed brah, survival was its sole purpose ;)
