Bulk smash auto. 2nd grow ever. 1st grow under this system. Aeroponics and 30 cxb3590 over a 4x8 area. Also 4 uvb bulbs 4 ft long each. 3 cree bars with 5 3590 lights each and the two uvb bulbs spaced between the 3 cree bars. That covers a 4 x4, so I have two of these setup over a 4 x8. 9 weeks flowering total time, and 97 days from seed to harvest. Been reading for 2 years before I got started. So much appreciated for all the advice over this time ! Thanks for all the great advice !

I used 23 different types of advanced nutients and insect frass, the frass is way better than bud factor x alone. Also, I never went above 350 parts per million on my plants. They were burning tips at 350, so I backed off to 330 for the rest of the grow. People may say you don't need advanced nutrients. And this is true, but at such low ppms I am running, the cost is negligible ! These are 10 gallon root chambers I designed and built from a 10 gallon igloo cooler. They were so full of roots that they were suctioned into the root chamber.

Happened to me too first time I used uvb

Any advice you want to give me, I'll be happy to try it. I don't mind the damage to leaves in the last 2 weeks if it means tastier buds ! I used 3.5 hours a day of uvb on a 20 hours on 4 hours off schedule the whole grow because they were autos. The bulk smash auto had two pheno types. One was more skunk and less frosty, and the other one was more blueberry skunk and it was for sure frostier than the skunk plant. That bulk smash auto by dr. Krippling is one worth trying. Out of the few autos I have tasted, the bulk smash auto wins so far. I have tried fast and vast, Berry bomb, crop circle, sugar black Rose, Northern lights blueberry, and a few others. Note : this could be due to my setup and both the genetics of the plants.

I started with 40 minutes of uvb and added another 20 minutes every 3 or 4 days till I got to 3.5 hours on time of uvb.

I was using a 20k coral mh 1000w that puts off a good amount of uvb. I was running it 12 hours a day for the last two weeks and it fried my leaves pretty good even some bud leaves. I was running it about 18-24" away just like my HPS that I used for the rest of the flower cycle. On subsequent runs I put em in vertical free hanging (no reflector) in between the HPS that I had dimmed down and got little to no leaf burn other than a few spots on buds close to the light. Raising the lights up in reflectors probably would've accomplished the same thing but I ran out of ceiling height. From my understanding only reflective metal will reflect uvb, bouncing off anything else it will lose energy changing the wavelength.....

I talked to Dennis at solacure. Check out the flower power bulbs. I beta tested those bulbs when they came out, and these are the results ! Dennis said that nothing reflects uvb. I don't know if that is correct. I run my led lights at 15 to 18". And the uvb bulbs are kept at the same distance. The results are proven on the solacure website. A company that bought flower power bulbs did their own test with clones and the only difference was the uvb was given to some plants and not to others. The uvb gave a 25% increase in thc. The uvb buds tested at 29% thc and the non uvb buds tested at 23% thc. I can tell you that my first grow was no where near this frosty, and my nutrient regimen did not change. I can tell you that the buds I smoked were more flavorful than most anything I've smoked. Been to California, Colorado, and had plenty of good smoke. The uvb made my grow in the top 3 of my all time most flavorful buds and top 10 of the most potent as well !
