Happened to me too first time I used uvbHere's another pic. The uvb toasted my leaves toward the end, but we aren't smoking the Leaves !
Happened to me too first time I used uvb
I was using a 20k coral mh 1000w that puts off a good amount of uvb. I was running it 12 hours a day for the last two weeks and it fried my leaves pretty good even some bud leaves. I was running it about 18-24" away just like my HPS that I used for the rest of the flower cycle. On subsequent runs I put em in vertical free hanging (no reflector) in between the HPS that I had dimmed down and got little to no leaf burn other than a few spots on buds close to the light. Raising the lights up in reflectors probably would've accomplished the same thing but I ran out of ceiling height. From my understanding only reflective metal will reflect uvb, bouncing off anything else it will lose energy changing the wavelength.....I started with 40 minutes of uvb and added another 20 minutes every 3 or 4 days till I got to 3.5 hours on time of uvb.
i dont think they will go 12,but damn nice frost already!I dono why that last post came out so weird. And I thought I only posted 4 pics. Lol. Oh well
Chopped at 67 days. She's drying now. About 4 days into hang dry. Can't wait to taste her.i dont think they will go 12,but damn nice frost already!

Pics or it never happened :)I talked to Dennis at solacure. Check out the flower power bulbs. I beta tested those bulbs when they came out, and these are the results ! Dennis said that nothing reflects uvb. I don't know if that is correct. I run my led lights at 15 to 18". And the uvb bulbs are kept at the same distance. The results are proven on the solacure website. A company that bought flower power bulbs did their own test with clones and the only difference was the uvb was given to some plants and not to others. The uvb gave a 25% increase in thc. The uvb buds tested at 29% thc and the non uvb buds tested at 23% thc. I can tell you that my first grow was no where near this frosty, and my nutrient regimen did not change. I can tell you that the buds I smoked were more flavorful than most anything I've smoked. Been to California, Colorado, and had plenty of good smoke. The uvb made my grow in the top 3 of my all time most flavorful buds and top 10 of the most potent as well !

Yet another case of a product manufacturer not even understanding what it is they're selling lolI talked to Dennis at solacure. Check out the flower power bulbs.
