Thats the turbo right?? That looks good. I can see the red spectrum. Me likey!

I'm so glad you guys got to meet up and press flesh. We'll be watching and our cultivation sciences team is here to support you along your journey!@ScynceLED
Kudos man these guys are the real deal.
Thanks again bro I’ll be starting a grow diary this fall and winter.
Thanks for the 10% off to!!
Definitely bro, I’m in the process of building a 14x18 grow shop I’m going to put a 5x5 room in specifically for the dragon, I’ll call it the dragon room:)View attachment 891587View attachment 891588View attachment 891589View attachment 891590View attachment 891591View attachment 891592
@1diesel1 everything I’ve seen, let’s me think the company really wants to do it right. These are a couple days from harvest and I’m a satisfied customer. Hope u will be too. Let’s trade recipes like the grannies do

Been having some discussions on LED and UV content. While LED can create UVA the UVB is not achievable and with more data coming along on the importance of both UVA and UVB in combination for trich production and increased thca concentration im wondering if you have had thoughts on this? While i understand the lighting side of things in terms of diodes i'm not well versed in the electrical side of things. Far red has also shown to be important but is easily achievable with LED diodes.After a couple of years of requests for a deeper dive on spectrum tuning, suggested recipes that you can download and load into our app, Theia, and the Spectralyzer that let's you visually see how a recipe will shift the spectrum, check out.....

i been using UVA strips that i bought from HLG . use the last 3 weeks of flower for about 3 or 4 hrs a day. increases trich production as a defense against uva.Been having some discussions on LED and UV content.

While i understand the lighting side of things in terms of diodes i'm not well versed in the electrical side of things.

So i guess my question is have you considered any option of how to add UVA and UVB to your fixtures?
LED's are easily manufactured for UV-A /B/C and there is really nothing different electrically from the white LEDs (unless you get into forward voltage). The hard part comes with the human factor side of things. It's not safe to have high concentrations of anything but UV-A in locations where people might be around. There is research that shows UVA and UVB do play a role in increased trichome production along with THCa usually triggered by a stress reaction in the plant. This, however, only occurs if these stressors are applied at the right time to a dialed in light/room environment. Most commercial growers won't be able to detect this slight change, especially if you aren't testing your product at a very fine degree (that most labs can't achieve). With the risks of UVB damage to humans in rooms or tents it would point us to a stand alone light for UVB additions. UV is also very hard on all materials, finishes, plastics, etc. so it must be used in a very conscientious fashion within your grow.Been having some discussions on LED and UV content.

To finally answer your question, we recommend UV-B supplementation as opposed to having it built-in. There are plenty of inexpensive options and I am going to tag @scyncegrown as he has implemented UV strategies for both tent and room applications.
There is virtually no UV-B from a white LED, this is true. But they make UV only LEDs, such as:Good answeralthough from this video and the little research I have been looking at UVB from an led source is negligible. Now you are far more advanced in terms of knowledge in this field and was wondering if you would mind explaining where I'm going wrong on this.
That is the perfect application and time frame. Nice job finding out about the nighttime trick and thanks for sharing it!UV light is also being used in grape farming as an alternative to fungicides for treatment of PM/molds.
Cornell has been using it this way as a stand alone treatment in the fields at night.
Turns out PM has the ability to self heal from heavy exposure to UV light from the SUN. So all that is needed to combat PM/molds is a short 15 or less seconds of UV light at night (lights out).
So a little bonus there.
I've been treating this grow with it as I had a bad outbreak of PM of a few plants and wanted to see if it actually works for cannabis. Its been a crop saver.
If my weed gets any stronger I'll have to sit down and puff. lol

@ScynceLED
Thanks for the hook up man! Met with your Portland rep today very cool cat! Ya dig:)
Bought the Dragon SL can’t wait to get it fired up and rolling!
He walked me through all the procedures to dial it in with my Bluetooth pretty crazy man. I like the fact you can get a battery back up if there’s a power outage.
Kudos man these guys are the real deal.
