Thats what i do, plant seed add U.v Before it sprouts, it seems to adjust betterIt takes growing them from seed

Trust me the A/C is needed. I bought it because it's cheaper to run this in the grow room which is a spare bedroom than to be running the entire house at a certain temp to keep one room cooler......so I have no regrets on the portable A/C that was coming regardless........It is. If you look at my light in my cab I cut four big flaps in the reflector to let heat go through. I didn't need it after exhausting outside.
You will see a big difference even with the other lights when you exhaust outside. You will most likely not need the portable a/c.
Ironically the ones that hate it the most are land racesThe ones that don't like it would probably handle it from seed or with a hardening off. Then again maybe not.
We will see. I think you will be surprised at how much difference exhausting outside does.Trust me the A/C is needed.

Do you think after so many years of people breeding that maybe some of the strains have evolved so to say to prefer indoor type lights? And maybe this is why these strains do not like the UV because that starts to mimmick more the outdoor world? Just thinking out loud here.......Ironically the ones that hate it the most are land races
Good maybe all my meds will start turning purple from cooler tempsWe will see. I think you will be surprised at how much difference exhausting outside does.
I suspect that strains that come from higher elevations will do better.Ironically the ones that hate it the most are land races
They will.Good maybe all my meds will start turning purple from cooler temps
Yes. They acclimate to where they are growing. It is why some strains breeders reccomend only indoors.Do you think after so many years of people breeding that maybe some of the strains have evolved so to say to prefer indoor type lights?

I think I'm okay on the first in terms of excess cooling capacity, although it always needs to be accounted for.One not ridding the heat from the house and two not hardening the plants to the UV.
Nah, it's just that the plants themselves need time to acclimate. Some plants are growing more vigorously than others and can adjust more quickly. Certainly strain plays a role but I doubt there are strains that simply can't handle it.I suspect that strains that come from higher elevations will do better.
I suspect that breeding with that light on will also help as strains acclimate over a few generations.
How can someone say it blows it away when they both would grow pretty much the same , IMO would like to see pretty sure daily difference is unnoticeable,, weekly ?? may be one stretched more then the other ?? ..In another part of the same veg space, I have two COB LED modules; each runs 4 CXB3590 3500k CD BIN at 54W each, for 225W. That 450W mops the floor with the 550W of the Mars Hydro LED in veg mode. It's not even close. Everyone who looks at them side by side- because they are- agrees.
It's just fun to play with the unit.
You wanna do that, by all means get yourself the rig and the gear and test it. I've already made and shared my own judgement, take it or leave it.How can someone say it blows it away when they both would grow pretty much the same , IMO would like to see pretty sure daily difference is unnoticeable,, weekly ?? may be one stretched more then the other ?? ..
You got any pictures of actual plants?? and lateral branching difference ? just because it looks bigger does not mean its better ..
what you need to do is test this grow 2 plants exact strain 2 weeks from clone compare height, lateral branching, how many bud sites , and most importantly root size as in growth ,, One may grow better in a certain stage yet when it comes to bloom the smaller one or the least likely out performed the bigger one , I seen it numerous times

That wasn't directed to you. I don't think.I think I'm okay on the first in terms of excess cooling capacity, although it always needs to be accounted for.
On the second, that's good advice. My plants will not have seen UV and will therefore need a transition. I think that a few 15 minute on cycles for the first few days, then adding more for longer as the cycle progresses makes sense on many levels.
I'd say all of them can acclimate to it.Nah, it's just that the plants themselves need time to acclimate. Some plants are growing more vigorously than others and can adjust more quickly. Certainly strain plays a role but I doubt there are strains that simply can't handle it.
It is pretty much common knowledge here that blurple lights are inferior to cob and even t5.How can someone say it blows it away when they both would grow pretty much the same , IMO would like to see pretty sure daily difference is unnoticeable,, weekly ?? may be one stretched more then the other ?? ..

From what I've read the agromax pure UV is the best UV light. They claim more UV than reptile bulbs.Now, my COB LED chips make no UV so it makes sense to supplement with it. I'll start with 2 x 4' Agromax (is this the highest UVB lamp?) per trellis. I'll let the plants tell me if that's enough to make a difference.
For this reason I plan to have them on a separate circuit so they can be timed and shut off as needed.From what I've read the agromax pure UV is the best UV light. They claim more UV than reptile bulbs.
I know you have to shut them off or cover up when working around them.
Of course the mars hydro LED gets destroyed by top bin CXB. Are you kidding me? We're talking about the difference between 20-30% efficiency and 50-60% efficiency, and you really expect them to perform equally?and most importantly root size as in growth ,, One may grow better in a certain stage yet when it comes to bloom the smaller one or the least likely out performed the bigger one , I seen it numerous times
