Sounds solid to me man, IDK about the UV light though, sounds like un-necessary heat to me.

Yeah everything positive I've read about using UV's has been a little unconvincing. Rest of your lights sound very nice, though.
I'm stoked to watch 'em flower. Lets see some girls up in that shit!

UVA and UVB is required for all living things to grow. The amount of UV rays that regular CFLs and HIDs put out is next to nothing compared to the sun.
Marijuana plants, as you all know, have trichomes. The trichomes channel UV rays to the lower portion of themselves, which is where THC production is found. Trichomes magnify the UV rays, using them for energy, which in turn, causes more THC production.
Although UV rays help with growth, they can also be a bad thing. For example, over-exposure. Just like we get sunburns, plants can be harmed also. This means you must regulate the amount of UV rays that the plants receive. This is the reason why some plants are more often found growing in shaded areas because they cannot handle the amount of UV rays being put out all day long. Also, this is cause for certain plants only growing in certain regions.
Marijuana plants are lovers of UV rays. If you look at a graph of UV exposure around the world, you can see that some of the strongest marijuana strains come from areas that are high in UV exposure. For example, Afghanistan.
Thus being the reason I have the UV bulbs in my grow room. Now, how much of a difference there will be with having the bulbs versus not having the bulbs, I do not know yet. There will be experiments in the future, lol.
And thanks for the comments guys.

I need your help! I recently purchased one of those aero gardeners but I have the smaller version. I planted about 6 white widow seeds only 2 sprouted up. Then about 2 weeks later I started to see root rot. I don't know what I'm doing wrong! Can you please break everything down for me like how much water to use to what type of lights and etc. Thanks

Listen man... reading is a motherfucker.... its NEEDED in learning.. you can be lazy all u want but thats the bottom line.
That guy was "smart" enough to dig into the AG threads and specifically target our GJ's... this person is simply being lazy....
oh and maybe we ARE better than him.... seriously though.. we all newbs around here and have managed to come around and not SPAM 100 threads... and the guy wants an ENTIRE fucking break down!!! its not like he's askin us if he should add some CFL's or something... seriously.
LETS NOT FORGET THAT THE AG GUIDE IS A STICKY THREAD.... RIGHT ON TOP OF THE PAGE!!!!!!
Gypsies are worse... always tryin' to do body work in parking lots...lol FUCKING GYPSIES
Yeah... I CAN GO ON AND ON LIKE THAT... ITS KINDA SILLY BUT...
