What is the best way to use uv light as a supplement? Should you use it throughout the entire flowering period, or should you just "shock" the plants with it the last couple weeks before harvest? Also where can I find good uv lights? Are those reptile desert fluorescent lights anygood? Thanks in advance for any help.

go to pet smart in the amphibian aquarium section -- the UVB bulbs have a UVB rating. i got a 10.0 UVB for 17 bucks? and then the light fixture for another 12.
i read in a thread that the UVB is only necessary at a certain point. what i read suggested starting 3 weeks before harvest. on the first day only have the UVB on 4 hours, then 6, 8, 10, and then 12 till harvest.
hope this helps!

I'd suggest ceramic metal halide for UV supplement, as well as the rest of the blue spectrum.
