I am about to get some reptile lights from Petco. Do these only produce UVB and UVA? or are they fine to use as regular lighting also. I know the UVB helps in THC content. Zoo Med ReptiSun Compact Fluorescent UVB Lamp at PETCO it is the bottom one. that is 10% UVB. Thank you.

I dont have access to them. I would rather use these bulbs. Can I use them as regular lighting also?

how long do you run the uv light? do you run it just during flowering or vegging too?

I am going to run it both. I am going to end up having Around 1,000 watts of side lighting with those bulbs, and a 400 watt HPS on top for 6 plants. Is that enough lighting? How much should I yield? It is bag seed. Right now they are on 1 of those lights and 2 CFL's and 3 flouros. Does a black light produce UVB?

i started it about two weeks ago which was 3 weeks into flower, since then the area that the uvb covers seams to be covered in larger dencer krystals which i pretty sure are the trycroms or clusters of them
