Bump!which uv lamps are you guys using?
Y’all need to use UVA AND UVBThanks for the feedback bro. about a 1% increase is decent. So that shows that potency was raised. How far from your canopy did you place the uv light? Also what weeks was it used? I wonder how far you could boost potency if 20% Uvb was used or the bulbs were closer to the canopy. Did you notice any significant increase in resin production? Since the resin is meant to block UV rays I would think that increased UV would also increase resin. Onto the UVC. I read on another forum about a guy who did a UVC test to control his powdery mildew. He used a 30w UVC bulb and place them 1,2 and 8 feet from the canopy. The plants with the light 1 and 2 feet away almost instantly started to die. The bulb 8 feet away didnt harm the plants and also controled the PM problem. Anyways the UVB light seems very promising to me. I am currently overseeing a Grape Ape grow and if the UVB gets some extra color to come out that alone would make it worth it to me!!!
Here is a link to recent trial data https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpls.2021.725078/fullThe most recent evidence suggests that UV exposure does not benefit cannabinoid synthesis. I will try to find the relevant link. There is lots of evidence of UVC efficacy for eradication of pathogens in HVAC applications. I have used UVC to eradicate PM in commercial grows with great success. Here is a link to kind of a long IPM article with some good info about UVC crop treatments. https://www.elevatedbotanist.com/cultivation/ipm
