I can't see the light hurting it any.
If you watched that video. It seems that UVB is the missing key to indoor growing. IMO
The first pic is close to the light you can see the UVB light in the back ground.
The second pic is away from the UVB ligh, on the other side of the plant.

Thats Nice Dude. :)
They said that light was good up to 20 inches.
I've got the plant touching the light.
The light is pretty cool to the touch.

I have the UVB come on when the HPS comes on.
it's on 12/12.
The Video with Marijuana Man was saying that dude only had his
on for 5 hours. I guess what ever you think is best.

No issues with the plants having the UVB light on for 12/12
The leaves are darker, that are closer to the light.
The (1) UVB light I have matched the square feet of my grow area.
I'm thinking when It's on it's like being at the equator for 12 hours.
I guess if you have more UVB for your square feet that your growing in you might not have to leave it on all the time. Different Strains might have different reactions to the UVB. Maybe or maybe not.

damn - i've only been running mine for 5 hours in the middle of the day... i'm gonna change it to at least 10...

two of those 24" uv10 bulbs is a lot of uv... dont look at those, seriously.. i have mine rigged up to a door switch so when i open the door they go off ;-)

i put in an 18" fluoro and 2 of the 23w CFLs in reflectors.

yea, i'll take that blame... ;-)





the CFLs are pretty strong... and they have decent reach in a reflector - the fluoro tubes are a lot more even, and dont produce such extreme uv right by the bulb...

i should have put in a 24" fluoro... but i had a fixture for an 18 - maybe later.
