I have been doing some research into maximising my plants THC potential! apparently if I add a UVB tube or 2 to my grow cupboard, I am thinking for side lighting around the same height as the cola's, the plant/s will pack on THC to protect herself from burning and in doing so will render my ladies with upto a 20% gain in THC I have made a few calls and can get a 20w 60cm (23.5") UVB tube for 16 Quid, and the fixture for 22 Quid, so for 1 complete unit, just under 40 Quid! I' probably get 2 for even distribution of the UVB ray, so 80 Quid will cover. At present I am unsure wether to use them with my 2X 90W LED UFOS, and 2X MINI FLURESCENTS, and my 125W ENVIROGROW LIGHT, or wether to use them in the night time, with the other lights off and either way ... how long they need to be running for?!! so before I take the plunge I want to be sure on the exacts, of bennifitting from the use of them! If anyone has any info on UVB and or has used them got any pics and good or bad comments etc.. please leave a reply here.. as this is new to me too
and 20% gain in THC could be the making of some absolute hardcore bud, If I grow a strain renown for high THC production anyway, then give the best nuits I can find, whilst grow in a DWC setup, and super boost it with, BUD CANDY, CANNA-BOOST,BLOOMBASTIC and CHA-CHING, and a CO2 injector, a 20% THC gain from a UVB lamp, could be the crucial making of some serious HYBRID bud that surpasses its own genetics, 2 different strains cross breeds and then its baby with the same treatment I am sure would be close to growing pure THC
and the HASH made from them will be divine, ok am off to the shops now to take measurements and find out how much heat they emmit, all comments welcome - STELTHY
