so what ur telling me is being exposed to the uv rays holding my iguanas and being in that uv room will catch up with me in the long run? ive had the uv rays on me for 10 years now as my iguanas are ten years old i guess thats too fast to be a long run, but im already 40 and plan on being around a wile, but im not going to stop playing in the room with my buddies, and my son is 5 and he plays with the iguanas to...also if uv is so harmfull nobody would be getting the leds w uv i dont know about most growers but i sit in my grow room for hours talkin to my plants...100 years ago people worked in the suns uv rays from dawn to dusk nobody got skin cancer in my opinion i may be wrong but cancer cannot survive in an alkaline enviroment so if you eat right and keep your bodys ph alkaline you cant get any type of cancer however most people today have acidic body ph which is why so many people have or can get cancer..studies have proven cancer cannot live in alkaline ph so if you or somone you know has cancer if they can get their bodys ph to be alkaline they will be cancer free...no cure for cancer is bullshit for hospitals and dr.s to make money and the fda will not aprove any foods as a cure even though studies have shown for example people with acid reflux if they drank a shot glass of applecider vinegar every day for a month they would be cured believe it or not ive cured several friends and my wife with apple cider vinigar. you can buy ph strips at walgreens put it under your toung and get your bodys ph keep it alkaline and eat non acidic foods and youll be cancer free forever!! ever wonder why in switzerland very few have cancer?? because they have spas for cancer victims to get their bodys alkaline and therefor cure the cancer its far better than chemo and all the stuff we do here in the states because our FDA is a fraudulant company who controls the population with non cure and our dr.s are drug dealers making money on the comeback rather thasn cure the people...millions of dollars each year are going twords a cure for cancer which will never be found with drugs, thats because the cure is in the foods you eat...ever wonder why nobody gets scurvy anymore?? because it was cured by eating citric, oranges or other fruits..im sorry but our FDA simply pisses me off food and drug administration they say any food canot be listed as a cure for anything because only a drug can cure buulshit food is the cure and drugs are for profitt
what I am telling you is that i'd do my own due diligence prior to messing with those, not knowing is a bitch, and if you don't know what is bad for you, well.... remember all those poor bastards working with asbestos... they didn't know......My grandfather, my grandmother, and my aunt included.
not to be a dick, but you found the cure for cancer? As simple as altering one's PH?

worked with asbestos myself in the past, im an elevator mechanic,,,hope that doesnt catch up to me! yes, its true in an alkaline ph cancer can not survive fact, not fiction however keeping your bodys ph neutral or alkaline isnt as easy as eating a lemon...if one is to have cancer it can take months to years of very picky eating to get back to neutral or alkaline as once the cancer is alive in ones body it may have taken years to get your body acidic enough for it to thrive and it will fight to keep your bodys acidity..unfortunatly there is no pill you can take to adjust your bodys ph if there was it would be the cure..the real big reason cancer is getting so bad is because even the alkaline foods we take in are mostly laced with toxins today,meats have steroids, fruits and vegatables have insecticides so even trying to eat wright is hard unless you are rich enough to buy steroid, pesticide, toxin free foods.. thats why 100 years ago cancer wasnt nearly as widespread as it is today..

its a defence for its survival .......abit like the reason they hermie in the wild through extreme climate change .....for its survival?

ive heard that to, not sure if its true or not,, but it would be great if someone did a comparison with one plant useing an hps and 1 with an hps +a uv bulb... ive noticed alot of the new led lights say they have uv rays however im still useing hids im going to wait a few more years to switch,, im hopeng the prices will drop on good leds soon.

not fast enough, ive been waiting on led technology to improve for years, now they may finally have the right spectrums yet the prices are to high to switch.. my yields still cover electricity,nutrients, and water bills pluss a nice gain even after patients and taxes.. i want to switch but it would really cut proffits for a harvest or 2 and thats hard to give up..ill wait till prices wont hit my profits so bad.

hey i wonder if my chameleons will like my beardies.. once the chams get older i think i might put them in the same environment and see what they do... obvs not living together but take them out of their tanks and on the floor together

be care full, dont have any but ive heard chamelions can die of stress very easily...most lizards are solitary animals, i have a male and female iguana and i have to keep them seperate almost always, the only time they can be together is when my female is in heat and thats only one or 2 days a year or if i let them have an entire room together so they can stay apart and have their own basking spots and seperate food dishes.

Bump! If you do try the uvb setup, it might be advantageous to use tubes over cfl, as the footprint and intensity dissipates rapidly with increasing distance and you may achieve more usable uv from a tube in relation to the canopy distance and orientation of the light.

If you want to see the results for yourself check out RiddleMe's old grow journal showing that ceramic MH out perform HPS. I think he's back on this forum as RM3 if you have questions I'm sure he would help. Search "make it rain" and his old profile should pop up.
