Alright so obviously theres been alotta talk about using UVB lighting during the flowering stages;however, I wanna find out what is the possible outcome if I use only the UVB (10.0) for the last 30 Days...

Am I just going to see yellow leaves and burnt dreams?
I realize that there is only about 4-6 hours of consistant natural sunlight outdoors, I also know that alot of times your left with bigger,better buds outside...So I geuss my main question is...If that 4-6hours of good sunlight (with phat UVB ratings) is producing better, why not just use UVB Lights?

I only ask becuase everywhere I read, theres just talk about using them during the flowering stages...why not before that...after all, the "killer outdoor"
that alotta people rave about, doesn't have the luxury of MH and HPS lights...:idea::idea:

sounds like a bad idea to me. You might benefit from some UVB light, but not only UVB light.
Its like is Vitamin C helps you not get sick, will eating only vitamin C for 30 days make you supper healthy? No you need food too! So do your plants.

Plants have over the millions of years built up resistance against UV light of any variety. UVB light outside helps plants in about the same way hanging you off a cliff makes your arms stronger.

Jusr run a metal halide light at the same time. Right? Or am i completely wrong. Just took a oxycodone and my bowl so i gotta respond. But that would give you the resin you want. When i first joined there was another med guy that only flowered with metal halide as he wanted quality not quantity. As your attorney i advise you to do both.

plants block uv rays using thc crystals or trichomes, supplementing with uvb or uva lights an increase thc production

Dude, I want some! Tell me you got it from an online place and can give me the web site. Ohh please.

But did it work? My experience has been that straying from the tried and true methods ends up making things worse. And I do not hear of people doing this very often. I mean flowing with MH when they have a choice. I have one of those MH conversion bulbs, but then again I use glass so maybe I am blocking all my UV light anyhow. The strongest endorsement of UV lights I have heard is one guy who said his friends thought his pot was a 10% stronger with the UV floros.

Lol, online oxy 30$ for a 1000, just say please and turn in your DEA recomendation. As for the mh conversion, you ae right about the glass. It blocks a lot, i think only quartz glass will let that uvx through. I once looked online and had a tough time finding it. I am not sure, i just read that resin production is the plants repsonse to ultraviolet light. Like a sunsceen. I would not take my word as gospel. I read that and it looks to be regarded as true. People say that the mh takes longer and is a little slower. Less quantity. But then again some say they notice no dif. Personally i would prob do hps and through up some side uv. Work? I wondering now if i should go 600 or 1000 instead of this crappy 400 i got now, so that a little ahead in my future. Keep bumping, some guys got into this a while back.
