Aw shucks fellas, you're gonna make me turn red - and not from excessive UVB exposure! I can't tell you what praise from you all means to a newb like me. Plus you guys are a total trip!Quote:

Besides we need someone who can ditlute the testesterone pool, we all seem to play nicer when in the company of a lady.:)Quote:

The object would be to run the UVb from clone to finish if possible, to see if the light used very early in growth effects trichome prodution.
Since you are currently using UVb durring flower, your observations right now and when you finish can be helpfull. And if you are willing to forego the UVb use for one flower cycle to see what the differences are that could be extremely usefull as well. That part could be a little costly in time and finish, as I found out (took 1 week longer and never got to amber trics) so nobody is going to push you to try that.
Let me know what you think, if any of it is possible for you. And welocome to the wonderfull world of experimenting.:thumbsup:
LMAO! that was a good one Ap!Quote:

the sense of humor is definitely good. i also agree with the dissertation that we need to dilute the testosterone pool too. and again, not to be a bobble head in agreance, but we all do play nice in the company of a lady.Quote:

sorry for rambling, good meds! (and they were sampled early and quick dried in the oven!)

Hey Headshake,
I know you've wanted to play with UVb, so this could be a good chance. A side by side w/wo UVb from early would be great. Check out early in the thread what Rusty was doing, I believe he was using a small CFL reptile bulb. Something like that could be very informative.
I think the halogen bulb use we can run in conjunction with UVb use, but we need to get Weezard or you to start a mole-ass experiment thread going. Might be able to recruit some others to try experiments too.
Yo DreadedHermie,
I did know something....the moderating effect of a women on men's behavior. :D Even 'shake knows that!
ADDED: And Headshake, you need to get a vaproizer so you can taste that green stuff without doing the quick dry oven thing.:)
sounds good OM.Quote:

Let me see how soon it will take my current project to take so I can get on it and start the experiment/journal. The way I'm planning the final set-up of my room, I just have to hang the other light - I could run a double sheet of panda cloth down the middle, separating the room in half, 2 reservoirs & aeroponic flowering chambers a piece. Think the double layer of polyvinyl would be sufficient to block the UVB from getting to the other side? One complication I'm thinking of - maintaining equal environmental conditions: temperature, humidity & Co2 levels... I could put 2 light proof vents in the visqueen divider or I could just partially split the room, hiding the plants but leaving the room mostly open. This would be a truly UVB-less grow (on one side) as the glass in my hoods blocks that end of the spectrum. I'd like to do it side by side too.Quote:

I thought of going with the Blueberry for the indica, but blues are kind of a special strain with their own unique characteristics & I wouldn't want to throw an unnecessary set of variables into the mix.
One other thing which will be crucial in communicating the results of the experiment - how do you guys photograph trichomes? I think that would be very important to this particular experiment and I want to be thorough. I don't know how to get down to that resolution. I've figured out a lot of the camera stuff, but I still have trouble with focusing high resolution zoom pictures. I really want to be able to produce this part of the results.
May I ask, why did Rusty have to abandon his experiment? When I get the time (hopefully tonight) I'm going to go back and read up on your current Halogen project (I wonder if it's about what I think it is) & Rusty's abandoned experiment.
PS. I'll be requesting you all as contacts if that's alright with you all as that seems to be the only way to communicate on each others pages, yes? It'll be good for coordination, planning & set up for those times we don't necessarily want to start a new thread.
Hi Apollonia, I just wrote a responce to most of your questions....but I screwed something up and it would not post. So I'm just going to quickly respond to your PS.Quote:

Hi Apollonia.... I think the glass lens will block some of the UVB light but not much, maybe 5% at best....I think I read that somewhere before...:thumbsup:
That seems about right, at least for this one.Quote:

I have recently looked at replacement windows for my house. Several values of uv protection are offered. The thickness of the glass is consistant between uv protection choices so it must be either something that is added to the glass or added layer.
