Thanks Biomaster........good stuff.
Questioning why you would drop back down to 2 hours at the start of week 2???
I've read in some scientific studies that growers use the light the entire grow, obvious for lesser "on" times.
@Moe.Red has a tremendous video series on how to do tlc testing properly. If there is interest i will go find it.Not the greatest reviews on that............. I'm guessing sample selection is key.
I was wondering that as well since it’s bumped back up after.Thanks Biomaster........good stuff.

From my understanding it can be used to harden them off in young plants before transition to outdoors but the reason it only the last 2-3 weeks is because it elicits a stress response that results in the benefit of more trich production etc. As @TheBioMaster pointed out you can see the improvement within days. If we run em all along the plants harden off and become accustomed to itI've read in some scientific studies that growers use the light the entire grow, obvious for lesser "on" times.
So my thought is you are basically trying to coax out the phenotype that arises from UV exposure (given the plant's genetics) without actually hurting the plant. Like make it successfully heroically defend itself. So you hit whatever compound the plant uses to detect uv exposure and that, through a process i don't understand, triggers the gene or gene set that reacts to this exposure and expresses itself in some chemical way that increases the acid production that ultimately leads to thc.Thinking about this further and what impact, if any, defoliation has since you are removing so many leaves. Does the UV-B advantage come from the rays hitting all the leaves or just the leaves within the buds? With that, should the bud leaves be retained and only sun leaves removed or just remove as I’ve been doing? You guys didn’t think think was going to be easy as pie did you? I still have a load of questions, but let’s start there.........
But you didn’t answer my question.......is the process formed on the leaves or clauses? Point being, if leaves are necessary, then removing them will have a negative impact on resin production.
Then you have a question about what trichomes are "activated"? There are different types of trichomes on a leaf or calyx and are they all enhanced by the UV-B or just a certain type?
I'm guessing the increased resin count might not get you higher but the buzz will last longer???
