If you wanna stress your plants at the end of flower but hesitant about driving a rusty nail through your baby look up uvb reptile bulbs. Stress in a more familiar form factor.

Most reptile bulbs don't put out enough UV for our needs. Better off with Agromax or Solacure UV lamps.

You still need more light.

Next time I’ll grow less plants. This was unusual circumstances.

Growing less plants won't give you more light. You will still have a 4x4 tent.

I get that but I will only use 2x4. I don’t have the money for more lights right now especially with everything going on.

I've heard it both ways on the solacure, some hate em some love em. I went with agremax pureuv myself, and yeah only 15-minute bursts a few times a day.

shane from migro trashed the solacures pretty thoroughly and scientifically in a video. Yeah the pure uv are cool just gotta be careful with em huh? Maybe I’ll give em a try after these 14% Arcadias are done.

I saw that, but you know what? Shane has been wrong or provided skewed info more than once. Don't get me wrong, I like what he's doing, but his info also isn't perfect, so take it with a grain of salt.

I was skeptical about it too but i think he tries his best to be fair and scientific. another reason i never tried em out for myself is cause theyre t8 not t5 and id have to change up my fixtures. also i never saw any rebuttal from them about shane's video so im not overly eager to give em a shot, i could be wrong. the agromax i'd def try out tho.

You need more light, period. Good luck with your growing you are doing well for what you have.

There was no real difference in yield when we have tested cracking the buds over indoors. I would have to check back in the yield notes to be sure but it was within a few grams either way. Outdoor would be a crap shoot to try and test,,,too many variables. But I still do crack them a little too. That being said,, the outdoor stuff we grow gets to go as long as it possibly can. So we aren't losing any size or weight.
The splitting stems stuff though,,, that's just not going to help. I've seen, (as I'm sure many others here have too) outdoor and indoor stuff get split near the end. And while sometimes the plant made it through it fine, sometimes large parts of the plant did not. And that is sad. Please don't hurt them too much what ever you do.
Good luck friends!
