I'm setting up a new room, and am using LEDs for the first time and wanna set it up right. My room will be 1m x 2m, I'm using 8 cxb 3590s 3500k cobs drawing 640w at the wall. And 2 far red ignitiator pucks. And 4 t5 uva bulbs. What's a good option for uvb?

Sorry that I don’t have a good answer but if your were to hit up massmedicalstrains on ig I’m sure would point in right direction as that’s the only person I see regularly supplementing led. In fact rapid led has a couple supplemental lights designed for mass medical.

Solacure.com for uvb bulbs. Uv-c is damaging to plants. Uv-b has beneficial properties.

You want somewhere between 5-10% of your total wattage to be uv-b and want to run it in small bursts throughout the day or for 2-4 hours max a day. Uv-b can get your plants if used for too long or too intensely. Good luck.
