If you have fan constantly blowing directly on plants and an exhaust vent don't worry about bud rot.

Its not blowing constanly on it its on swing mode u think i should put the fan direct on plant instead or its OK with oscilating ?

I've found that harvesting when the plants are thirsty seems to improve the finished product. There are differing views on that and a lot of posts on here for and against, but I found its my preference, Last drink of rain water on the 7th so they use up whats left in the soil, then a drought. Oh, I have an oscillating fan too...
Just a personal preference.

osculating totally fine mate, it's even better as it's create more air movement.

UVB is an ultra violet spectrum of light, it fuse oxygen in the air into ozone which known for it's disinfecting properties, but at the same time it reacts with all organic matter by burning it on the micro scale. If you are a professional grower and you know what you are doing UV light might be beneficial, but in your case if you do something wrong, you may wake up one day and discover dead plants as ozone acts very rapidly.

no worries. i think you are talking about UVC not B. check out youtube for a video called UVB and resin production. very informative. just have to be careful with your eyes and skin. never had it hurt any of my plants ever. some LED"s even come with secondary UVB bulbs for flower stage.

LED's mainly have the smallest wave length of 430nm, it's not classified as ultraviolet, ultraviolet starts at 400nm and below. 430 is still enough to produce trace amount of ozone which will only damage baby plants if you put it too close. UVB has wave length ranges from 315nm to 280nm, and these produce a reasonable amount of ozone, if you keep it at good distance and you have a good air movement your plants are safe. But what if your exhaust vent stops working for any reason, if you discover faulty vent too late, it's a risk of damaging plant or killing them.

Do UV Air Purifiers produce increased ozone?
EPA: According to two studies, operating UV lamps installed in HVAC systems to irradiate the surfaces of air-handling units does not result in increased concentrations of ozone.
just sayin'...

Your local pet store will sell uvb fixtures and bulbs. Just as someone stated about reptile bulbs that's what they will be at the pet store. Can't remember price but I know it wasn't more than $30 for light and bulb came with it. Gonna add some to my setup when I have the time

Hmm,,,,,longer thinner leaf structure.....looks Sat like......75/25 Ind-Sat. 8-10 weeks run time, bet it'll be more like 9-11......Buzz and bud formation - Indica dom.......Leaves look Sativa but less in #.....Sat leaning pheno....in weeks of flower...
You can use S and Mg to form more trich's. Botanicare Sweet Raw works for that.....This formula works better!
Botanicare's Sweet Raw is COSTLY at around 65.00 a gallon!
How would you like to make your own for PENNIES a gallon? It's VERY SIMPLE!!!
Take 1 gallon of RO water.
8 TBL of Epsom salts
1 1/2 tsp of DARK brown sugar.
Bring to a heavy or rolling boil, 4 cups of the RO water.
Add the Epsom and dark brown sugar and boil till dissolved (give it a few min. after you think it's dissolved to be sure).
Pour that into the remaining RO water (use an opaque gallon container) and BINGO you now have "sweet raw" that cost you just under a dollar to make yourself!
Late in veg. (a week before the flip) add 5 ml; per gallon of feed.
At the flip increase to 10 ml per.
At 3 weeks, increase to 15 ml per.
At 5 weeks increase to 20 ml per.
At the last week. Stop use.
