UVB's may be in the aquarium section. I have not used them, but I think they make them for fish tanks.. I've read that letting the plants dry out to give them a little stress increases resins..

Also, try singing off key when they are trying to sleep. The plant's hate that :)
 
i grew some super skunk. i harvested the first plant and i did a crappy job drying it , it was still ok though. this time around i harvested another plant and i had hoped for a much more resinous end product. maybe super skunk just isnt a huge resin producer. its also not the strongest stuff.(15% thc) i now have violator kush going (21% or 22% thc) skunk x haze which im not sure. white ice which is in the 20s , g13 x haze which is also in the 20 range. i wanted to know if anyone knows of anyway to increase the resin production in a plant? im growing under a 600 watt hps. and a 400 watt hps. 2 spots. the only reason they arent in the same room is that i have another 8 or so supers that are about 20 or so days from harvest. as soon as those are harvested, i was thinking about putting both lights to total 1000watts in a 6 by 6 room i built this past couple weeks. is 1000hps too much for a 6 by 6 room? theres no heat issues , but i do have smell issues. theyve stunk my house out. i love the smell but i dont want it to get me in trouble. if someone thinks im smoking, oh well they just decriminalized in my home state. so i dont think anyone will bother calling the cops when you cant be arrested for smoking pot. but you never know right? anyway any advise on that resin production is greatly appreciated. thanks guys. and gals.....i also suck at drying it and im horrified im gonna ruin it all by not doing it right.
Another suggestion is keep your RH down around 30-35 percent the plant will produce more resin to protect itself.

This is my set up. It's 4 x 25w uvb200 cfl's by exo terra and a 600w mh/hps depending on veg or flower. I run the cfl's on a seperate timer to the hid. 2 hours in the middle of the light cycle during first 2 weeks of veg then 6 hours for last 2 weeks. Then for flower keep it on the 12/12 with the hps. Cheap and effective!
