LED cant produce UVB as far as I'm aware
LED cant produce UVB as far as I'm aware
Actually, it's "Tanglefoot" which I put at the base of each plant stem to catch any crawling critters (like mites) trying to migrate up the plant. LOL
It's a messy friggin job, the shit gets everywhere but it's quite effective and catches anything caught in it's grip.
I've read a few papers saying its UVB you need to increase potency. UVR in LED is referring to UVA which only mildly affects the plant. LED's can't produce the required UVB as migro explains in the video.It's "UVR", not UVB.........brand new fixture by Gavita, not available just yet.
I've been having trouble with stretch with my lumitek zeus pro. After researching seemed to be down to the lack of far red. Not sure what I'm going to do about it myself yet.Thanks, I know you are trying to help and it's appreciated. The issue here, I think, is that with these Givita's 1700e's- there is not enough red being offered so the plants stay super short, are leafy with thick stems. Some additional red is needed for elongation, so it's not about potency as much as elongation and getting some more stretch out of them.
If you go back to my first thread with the Gavita's, there are videos in there about this subject specifically.
Yeah thats what got me really interested in your first thread. Was wondering how they were going to flower under such a heavy blue spectrum. To me they looked great and now if you get these I'm curious to see how it affects yields.Thanks, I know you are trying to help and it's appreciated.
