Naw the opposite thats when its most effective for indoor outdoor the uvb hits em everytime unless in a green houses sum plants respond better than others i seen outdoor buds with no oils and they were hit with mad uvb from the sun just my two cents but i like the idea...
hey thanks for the answers. So i went out today and bought 2 150w uvb lights. threw them up, looks like im getting a decent spread.
But i probably should have mentioned, i am in my 7th week of flower on a 10-11 week crop. i was reading earlier today that UV light should not be used late in flower and will actually degrade the thc. anyone else heard this before?
i got white spoting when i added pure uvb reptile 10% bulbs it late into flowering. it was like the chlorophyl got zapped out the leaf and the trichomes look comersh and dryish. i added 250 mh with my 600 hps bulb instead the next time from the start of flower and i noticed problems, and they were goey nice buds. so that is my experience. they were grown in soil both times with organic nuteshey thanks for the answers.

if ed said that than he is a foolllllllll. weed is done when the trichs telllllll u. some parts of the globe and elevations will create different finish times!! i finished my Chemdog D at 4500 ft in september. but my Chemdog D at 400ft elevation is not ready yet and it is november, use a 40x microscope you can purchase any hydro store!I was reading somewhere Ed Rosenthal refuses to smoke anything picked after august 15 because of low UV levels in late summer and fall. Sounded like kind of a prick in the article when he refused to smoke with a guy at the cannabis cup because of that. Guess Ed only smokes light dep bud then or something? There ain't any strains that finish by august 15 that's for damn sure.
were they blasted with harsh chem ferts and ph off water?>Naw the opposite thats when its most effective for indoor outdoor the uvb hits em everytime unless in a green houses sum plants respond better than others i seen outdoor buds with no oils and they were hit with mad uvb from the sun just my two cents but i like the idea...

LEARNED THIS THROUGH TRIAL AND ERROR, GOT WHITE SPOTS WHEN IT WAS TOO CLOSE.Can you post a link to where you picked these up?
Depending on the light source, you may need to adjust the distance between the UVB source and your canopy.

these the ones youre talking about? never used this type. only the t5s. seem like they put off heat as an additional "feature"? lol sounds like a poor addition to the equation. interested to see the difference in output

Never knocked uvb bulbs. Im actually all over the forum advocating em. But I only have experience with the t5s. And I really cant afford much more heat in my garden. Definitely looking forward to seeing some results with these thoughIf you read the product description carefully, the 'bulb' is a self ballasted mercury vapor HID inside an enclosure that looks like an incandescent spotlight bulb. Of course it's going to make some heat- show me an HID that doesn't- but the benefits of UVB on cannabis are pretty hard to ignore if done properly. Some farmers are experimenting with it here, with fascinating results. I'm interested in these bulbs because they offer the promise of more UVB delivered at greater distances than the UVB T5 and CFL bulbs I've seen previously.

agreed! lets see some results! maybe ill do a side by side with and without in a month or two...Didn't mean to imply that you did- I'm pretty interested in some results, too- interested enough to maybe do some early Christmas shopping?
