Ya buddy... I have used uvb bulbs for years. I add it to hps and it gives me my low nanometers without dropping a grand on the latest new fangled light gear.So are their supplemental lights that people adds to their current light setup to control some finer aspects of growing? Special UVB lights or something.
I really dont know much about this subject but I've been given an opportunity to convert my room and would like to maybe experiment.
Cheap bulbs are best... Ipower bulbs here...20 dollas amazonI don't use supplemental lighting. Good ol tried and true HPS. I did a comparison of different hps brands. Don't buy the hype, or 100+$ bulbs. I ran a half a room using Horts, and the other half of $22 Ultra Sun's. Absolutely no diffrence in yield, or quality. Imo LEDs do not penetrate the canopy, greatly reducing yields (Not to mention cost, and unreliable. I'm sure I'll have people dissagree, and you'll read all kinds of propaganda. Just my take on lighting

It would be hard to fit 4.5 pounds under a 1k in a tent hahaha density would be ridiculousWell Idk about all that. I avg .67 gpw in a 8x4 using 2000 watts of Mars Hydro burple. Lol.
That's more then some dudes can make with an HPS set up. Plus you have lights like Spyder Plus thats hitting 2.2 gpw in a professional setting. That's well above HPS.
Which brings me to my next question.. If I'm getting 4 spyders for an 8x8.. Do I really need supplemental lights?
I don't mention my yields, but I will say I beat thoes #' handedly. Here's my last grow under a $20 600 watt hps, and there are no diods to break. Look at my avitar. Grown in a coffee cup under a 250 micro SOG.Cheap bulbs are best... Ipower bulbs here...20 dollas amazon
4x8 tent? Yeah, you'd have to have the right genetics, grow would have to be flawless, trained correctly, even canopy, but can be done.It would be hard to fit 4.5 pounds under a 1k in a tent hahaha density would be ridiculous
4x8 is plenty of space .. Maybe a light rail ehh? And there are some strains you are simply not hitting 2 gpw with hahaha .4x8 tent? Yeah, you'd have to have the right genetics, grow would have to be flawless, trained correctly, even canopy, but can be done.
Thats an excellent strain you got there too. Good light can make pot better but its great to start with good genetics. I like more frost than weight personallyI don't mention my yields, but I will say I beat thoes #' handedly. Here's my last grow under a $20 600 watt hps, and there are no diods to break.

Last grow *600 watt.
1st pic was at day 25ish
2nd pic was around day 40
As for quality. Got that too.
Note I'm using a HORRIBLE hood for a 600. Glass covered Raptor.
They're dence as hell too.
Last pic are a few tester buds
I like both :).Thats an excellent strain you got there too. Good light can make pot better but its great to start with good genetics. I like more frost than weight personally
I mean if you have to pick quantity or quality..i go quality. Theres a lot of great smoke out there with low yields.I like both :).
Thank you. It took a little over 4 years to stabilize. I always leave a light leak to be sure it won't herm up....I've also done some crazy things during flower trying to get her to herm. So far, not even a late nanner.
Depends what spectrum you supplementing IR or UV. Or just need more par at the edges. Get a par meter check how even the light is.Well Idk about all that. I avg .67 gpw in a 8x4 using 2000 watts of Mars Hydro burple. Lol.

Full spec, everything I have read about that light says it's an awesome veg light but a poor flower light, dont care about bloom want suplamentel veg light.
