I have a UVB in mine. But it is not that good of a bulb to begin with. It's just a low watt floro that I stole from my wife. She has a lizard and was not using it so after reading about it I just used that one until I can get one or more. But they are $30-40 for a cfl at the pet store. The Walmart near me doesn't carry them but most decent pet stores should, Even better price on Ebay though. it really makes sense as to why it works on the plant. The plant makes more to protect itself from the UV. Just saw a show that was talking about the different UV lights UVA, UVB, UBC. The UVB is the one that does the most damage to our skin. I'd be nice to see some pics roll. I took a few tonight. I got some pretty good closeups. They are about 7 weeks now (the close shots). And a pic of the flower closet. 2 soil and 5 hydro.

The UVB is definitely worth trying. Just make sure to get the right one. I'm not sure off hand but I remember something about 10%. I have some stuff saved on it and could post it tomorrow if anybody want's. Mostly stuff from here though I think.

Aw, thanks guy's. But let's get one thing strait!! I'm not growing up!!! I would get the highest watt one I could (UVB). I have it on for about 5 hrs a day but that probably is not enough with this wimpy bulb. I've seen anything from 4 hrs to all 12. The guy that said he had it on 12 said he also turned the plants everyday. If it is on to long and to strong it can damage the leaves. I'll check some tomorrow and post. To late here in my time zone, It's 10:45. What time zone are you guy's in? I know what one 1982 is in. I went on Google earth and I think I saw him comeing out of the hydro store.

Really nice looking plants roll. So you are an hour behind me in time. I don't have to get up till 7-7:30. My boss say's we're supposed to be at work about 8:15 but I make it by 8:45 most day's. Don't like to get rushed and stress myself first thing in the morning ya know.

Ya 1982, from what i've seen that's when people seem to be using it. Mostly in flower, But I will run in veg also when I get more. It can't hurt if your carefull I think. More like the light they would be getting outside. But that is something I would like to try for the ultimite grow, hydro outdoor. The best of everything. Your plants sound good, maybe get us some pics? How's it going with your new camera? Getting used to it? Well I guess I should be getting ready for work since it's almost 8:00. Instead of messing around here like I always do.

Ya, probably leave it off all day. Longer might help some but if you are going to chop tonight leave it off. What do you think 1982? Other than that clean your favorite pipe and be ready. Hanging the buds to dry?

First they don't really say what the watt is. Down in the description it say's 10.0 watt but I don't think that is right. I've seen some that also say they have UVA light. I would get one of those. The highest I think I've seen is 26watt. This one doesn't say watt's but I sent them a ? to see. I'll be checking out some more today. But deffinitly look for the 10.0 I think that is the % of UVB that the bulb puts out. I'm not sure how many would be best but like other light it depends on the space you are using it in.http://cgi.ebay.com/ZOO-MED-REPTI-SUN-FLUORESCENT-LAMP-10-0-UVB-REPTILES_W0QQitemZ190296422654QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item190296422654&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72:1205|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318|301:1|293:1|294:50
