Yo' Gr8budz4me,

First if you are interested in 10k bulbs, there is a company making PSMH bulbs in various Kelvin tempertures. They are designed to work in digital and electronic ballasts. Thier recomendations for various temp bulbs for various stages, is interesting. Here's a link to them, Sun Pulse - Home.

Second, I had to look back thru the thread to see wtf you were talking about. Ok one guy (the old Rusty) gave you a hard time, but that was literally 2 months ago...let it go man. If you spent more time here lately you'd see a new Rusty who is trying harder to temper his responces to folks. While looking back further I saw I was pretty harsh to Dogznova, more then I needed to be. I too have been trying harder to be more "user friendly" with my posts. I figured out a few months back that part of the problem is we all have certain passions about how we do things, and there are so many growing styles with varied techniques that what works for one person might not be right for someone else. Toss into the mix controversial topics and well you can see what happens. We all need to try and work together, after all we all share one passion, growing mmj, and that should provide for a large tent.

Back to UVb, I have always been a proponent of it's use, tho for various reasons avoided the topic. Someone who's opinion I respect, Weezard, holds the opposite view that UVb does not add anything and is in fact harmfull to plants. We talked about it, back and forth, and I had to admit it was a long time since I did a good back to back comparison. So I decided to try a run without the UVb in my personal grow. I'm about 5 weeks now into a run of White Rhino and I am not using any UVb this time around to see the differences. And I'll let everyone know those results in another 3 weeks or so. But so far there is not much difference to report. The plants seem to be packing on the trichomes at about the same rate as before, just like you would expect any of the white strains to do. We'll see tho what the outcome is.
