I'm confused on the cylinder, is this glass? i would leave them open to the plants, but i may be confused on the cylinder... getting there! so many things to see :) i'll check yours out very shortly!
lol :) good man!! UVB will be for this new generation. It can only get better from here on!
If you can reflect the UVB to improve on intensity, then by all means, as long as it doesn't block out valuable HPS or other lighting i say go for it! reflectors make a huge difference, and especially since these lights are all about intensity, i'll go have a look at the box............. It says the reflector designed for the CFL types are directed down to DOUBLE!!! the intesity of the UVA/UVB output. It also states, and dont get me wrong here.... this IS designed for reptile use so keep that in mind, but plants ARE living !! and they do have a 'skeleton' in a way.. Ok the box says : Reduces the risk of bone cancer and or disease in all reptiles that require UVA and UVB and aids in the GET THIS!! : 'Aids in The metabolic system of their skeleton' Now think about this for a second... How does it help their skeleton?? Through X-RAY spectrums. THATS HOW. :) The secret IS OUT. These Unique X-ray like spectrums that are beyond what the human eye can see (being about 400-420nm of light is out human limit) and penetrate far deeper than any HPS light, and without the harmful effects as plants lack the ability to get cancer or bone disease! ;) These UVB spectrums are very special, unique rays, and must not be looked at. I say THIS because i actually have a small amount of damage to my sight not because of the lamps, but they are alot more sensitive to THIS light, and i know to turn it off before i open the tent as it gives me an immense headache
Thats a great idea tt! I like .. i LIKE :) man, been a while since i updated hasn't it!? Having a house inspection today, so she's all tucked into the corner of the room, looking like a massive cupboard! again.... 8th round this time, and she's already a huge bush, and this nice head-start has given me a huge advantage! another 4 weeks of vegging to go from here on!! I will only be using the 2nd 600 for a few hours a night, to keep temps down, i;ve been told this strain is extremely hardy, and loves this climate, and she's bushed out like you wouldn't believe! I'll post updates once the inspections over and she's all set up again :) A looong day indeed, been up since 5am cleaning, and airing the skunk out of the house. I've had to keep the carbon filter going as the smell from this strain is putrid even in grow phase. 4 weeks might even be too long. I'm talking the size of the pot already! 2lb here i come :p wishful thinking.....
Thanx Tt!! I'm getting the feeling this girl is going to be a monster!
I have heard this is an issue with a few people, maybe a slow connection or system cache memory needs clearing/history... I am used to this 2mb/sec download speed! If i remember i will downgrade the larger full scale pics to be a speedier more friendly 2mb instead of 6 and see how the quality goes. Cheers for mentioning, i am becoming more aware there is more people with slower connections. I still would try the system cache memory/history just to keep all available ram available :) from what ive been told anyway!
I understand your reasoning, sorry for tonights post also, a couple of high ressies ;) I will change the output on my camera, and try not to put so many pics up. I'm literally obsessed lol :p I still am confused to why the page takes so long?! on my mac the entire page is loaded in under 10 seconds most of the time and i keep history and cache clean. This might be something to do with the conversion from mac/windows perhaps i'm really not sure. I had issues when i used my downloads up, but now with unlimited the bandwidth is flatout.
lol :) i'll try not to add so many pics! I can get easily carried away..... i have in excess of 15gb of images alone! easy to do when they are 6-7mb each at full size. I love the camera, she even captures the moon with all her detail even in movie mode :)
