Yeah man those are way too strong for my space for sure.These are no joke. I just burned the crap out of a plant using one for the first time. I'm pulling up a seat for some Farm wisdom here![]()

I will play with this and investigate...Here's the first attempt - had to bring in the expert. We have a few lenses here to play with, just trying things out. ill this work?

If this is acceptable whether we count them on a computer or not, my next trick will be to shoot the right buds. Gonna have to free hand it to get into the tent. I think it is doable. I also think it will be better to shoot with the HPS lights behind the camera shooting down. I may have to turn off the HPS and use external lighting too. I think I can figure it out. I'll just mark the buds with colored string to keep them straight and take pics of the same 10 or so buds every day for the last 2 weeks.
If this test has been done and I'm wasting time, please let me know with a link.
Can you tell me more? I'm putting 80 watts over a 4x4.These are no joke. I just burned the crap out of a plant using one for the first time. I'm pulling up a seat for some Farm wisdom here![]()

Thanks. I'll be sure to check it out but please tag me in if I miss it.I should also add that many people start slowly, maybe 20 minutes a day and work there way up from there........something like this:
Day 1-3 20 minutes
Day 4-6 30 minutes
Day 7-10 1 hour
Day 11-14+ 2 hours
Much of it depends on how close the bulb is to the plants. Closer than 36 inches, use less time. Further away, add more time. Plants will need to acclimate themselves to the UV-B, it takes some time. I'll be using them for the first time in weeks 8-10 so check out my "Candy Store" thread in a few weeks.
Yeah dude, I fried plants with these bulbs before. Maybe I should just run one bulb. Hmmmmm. I wish I knew how many uW/cm2 we need, I could just dial in my system to that number.The bulb he used is only 24 watts, and he still burned them. 80 watts is wayyyyyyy to much to get results, you better keep them HIGH up or you'll be in trouble. UV-B is very effective, you don't need a lot of watts to do the trick.
Yes, it does have a ways to go. Not the target bud - just setting up the equipment on a bud on the side pushed up against the tent.I will also add the pic in post 122 shows the plants has quite a ways to go, by looking at all those white pistils. I'd say he probably has a month to go, and probably started the UV-B too soon. The plants need to be finishing off, not still be in a growth stage.

That's the same level as the full spectrum bars, right?Just so you know, I am running a 50w LED bar from Mammoth, 6 hours per day, right at 36-48 inches from 4 plants and they never show any negative effects. Roasts the crap out of any bugs though. I start mine 4 weeks after flip.

Man that's a nice ass-light. (XKCD)Just so you know, I am running a 50w LED bar from Mammoth, 6 hours per day, right at 36-48 inches from 4 plants and they never show any negative effects. Roasts the crap out of any bugs though. I start mine 4 weeks after flip.
They sure are fuzzy. Is that a bubble bucket or some sort of automatic water system?@Moe.Red because of my setup and tent etc I wound up just running it waaaaay too close at about 24" on one side of the plant, trying to angle it across the tent under my light. At 30 min a day after a week she was toast. I turned it off until I learn better.
