I definitely agree the point should be how to best approximate the sun. Specifically the sun in a spot that grows good pot.Its 28% of total thc content. I wish tjey would stop sayi g it that way its pure advertizing hype.
The tested thc increase best case scenario is about 4%. So if you had 20% weed it gets to 24%.
Unfortunately it does not increase cbd and we know little about other canabanoids.
In my opinion it is not only not necessary but is a bad idea unless using proper sunlight ratio and for the full grow.
Each strain has its effects from a complete recipe of canabanoids and terpenes. Its the balance of these that creates the unique effects.
So increasing thc without increasing the other components is not always desirable.
It is however desirable since higher thc brings more money. So it is part of the new industry.
But does it make better weed? Too high thc ruins weed in my opinion.
Think entourage effect.
I agree on the marketing but UVA and UVB affect much more than just THC.Its 28% of total thc content. I wish tjey would stop sayi g it that way its pure advertizing hype.

Idk how to do that, but I'm trying.

During the end phase of ripening, regular lights really don't affect overall transpiration rates, It just drops off Diminishing until the end despite what's thrown at them. I think with this light, that might change things a little in that regard. The plant's really after 3 critical things that drive growth.
A) Strain type (potential)
B) Diet (nutrients)
C) Light (quality/quanity) appropriate spectrum/strength changes thoughout growth cycle.
All metabolic parameters are ancillary to to these key forces driving plant growth. C02 is dependent upon light source and Nutrients, Pheno's and potency tied to everything including strain type.
With the advent of LED technology, It seems were on the cusp of making progress in discovering the holy grail of plant metabolism, and light quality is a big part of that, giving the plant what it want, when it wants it, and stressing it productively to produce the desired results.

I use low in early veg and IMO my light is not as good as say a gavita that's designed for that. Inuse mine because I have a sealed room so I need it. I cant say how long but I would assume immediately if you have the right conditions to take advantage of it.How long does it take to see the results from the use of co2
I always thought the spectrum changes by the angle as some spectrums become more filtered by the atmosphere? I could well be wrong just always what I assumed but never actually looked into it.Actually the suns spectrum does not change just the intensity on the plants. We see more red at sundown but the plants may not.
So simply dimming or moving the light away from the plants some is all that is neccessary to keep them processing to the end harvest.

YummyyyyyyyyyGot microbes?
Hopefully the white shit is mycorrhizaeGot microbes?
Oh yes intensity is there but much less blue. That affects co2 exchange and stomatal openings.I bet your lamp is as intense as the gavita. Just the newer diodes are more efficient by a fraction.
Yea, I agree the sun position in the sky and the atmospheric filtering that takes place effects things during harvest. The sun has filter though a lot more atmosphere at a lower angle then it does at high noon.
That said, I think what were seeing with these lights is an intensity that's not matched by our own sun. Whatever the physiological factors at play here, it's obvious that plants benefit immensely from lower range waves during the end stage and especially during ripening. Personally, I think it's a protective mechanism of the plant producing "sun tan" lotion for itself, (aka oils) evolved over millions of years.
If we can artificially stimulate that mechanism, and can target and duplicate the suns effects in this regard, and magnify those results, it' might be overall stressful for the plants, but the end result should be phenomenal.
