The correlation between metal halide light and resin content/potency

Right guys I'm new here so please forgive me if I'm asking the same question...again., but do any of you guys out there who use metal halide lighting for a short part of flowering notice ,ore active resin production on the flower clusters, or do you notice that bud that's been flowered with some metal halide light is a little more potent, tasty maybe? (More terpene content etc) if anyone has any good links related to this subject I'd really appreciate that guys, or if you yourself have some wisdom to share please fire away! Many thanks.

What options do we have to add UV to our lighting set ups?
What I meant was that it's the UV in the spectrum of the MH/CMH that helps make the buds more potent. HPS and LED both lack UV.

If you want to add UV to your setup switch to CMH. Its more efficient than HPS and puts out less heat. Plus they're less expensive than LED, too.
