The original poster was asking about the very best light for potency and I'm surprised I'm the first one to mention UVB.
10%UVB cfl bulbs sold for reptile keeping have shown the way to higher resin/thc levels on many occasions. This is a very different part of the UV spectrum than mh or cmh cover.
I haven't seen anyone try this on a scaled up basis, in part because it may be hard to find the right light source; after all, cfl just isn't gonna get it done in a sea of HID lights!
@flowamasta hey buddy, where you at? You want to tell us what you learned with your UVB cfl bulbs? I hope he's still around...
Ive never heard of this before, i would be interested to know more im gonna do some research. maybe on a small scale or for some closet growers it could be beneficial. I wonder if you would need to use it throughout the cycle or only during peak flowering times when trichrome production is at its highest.
You beat me to the trigger . Im currently using 4 separate uvb bulb fixtures surrounding my vertical cylinder on the outside of perimeters. I learned a few yrs back uvb will increase thc. When in full swing I'll share pics . A buddy had the bc box thing put uvb underneath. His trics were RIDICULOUS! !
What's the cheapest bulb out there hps?

Thanks bro gonna grab a few@justblazen I run those bulbs all the time, I like them. They're well rated.
You are 100% correct my friend. they did side by side comparisons with the hortilux at monstergardens and you literally couldn't tell them apart.only difference is genesis are a lot cheaperIm running a Genesis bulb which i am very happy with. Especially happy with the price. check it....
UVB lamps works great for late flower stress triggers but not so well all the way thru...we played with all the Sunpulse lamps, swappin them out at all thew suggested growth thresholds as recommended and it worked great but at scale was way more of a pain in the ass than the slight difference we saw in the finished product
Have you had a chance to check out the d-papillon green power bulbs? Also what your thoughts on these double ended bulbs made by Phillips,Ushio ect.? Have you had a chance to work with those at all? Are people really seeing a significant yield increase like I've heard. I have just started running some e-paps 1000w with the Philips bulbs but like I was saying just lit them up. Thanks for your insight I appreciate it. Much respect I like your work. -Alice D.3K Lamps
