UVb an experiment

- but this begs the question: who is our Corporal Klinger?

Oooo! Hermie says pick me! Pick me-e-e-e!! :woohoo: [attachment=o230006]

- how do you guys photograph trichomes?

I'm using a Bionicam Eyeclops, a child's "toy" easily located at Amazon.com for 25-45 USD, depending on who's got them. Dutch Pimp "discovered them" for us. :thumbsup:

The 400X magnification is very hard to use but...

Apollonia,
Off Topic:
Sorry it took so long to accept your friend invitation, but the board was acting wack for me and would save you once checked, so I waited until it would.

DH,
Then wouldn't you become a reverse DreadedHermie?
Now I'm really confused.

Back to UV talk.

Nice pictures using the "Eyeclops" BTW...

That could come in real handy for maturation checks!

Hi fellas, just wanted to add quickly re: Uvb blockage. The reflector's madeof tempered glass - which I was told is designed with the intent of blocking UV rays - how well & how much remains to be seen, but I felt it blocked enough to necessitate the addition of my Uvb supplementary bulbs. Btw, 5 hours a day no less than 20" away... I wonder how far their effective range is. Hard to find anything on it with google. If I find anything I will post. And thank you all for "friending" me - can't wait to start coordinating experiments.

Me too, thanks for the tip!

Weezard, how do you get that 400X magnification? Is it a special camera lens?

Aloha A.


That's the good Eyeclops.:thumbsup:
It's the deluxe high res, dahoosit model.
It has 100X, 200x, and 400X and a little 32 Mb. thumb drive that plugs into it's head and records jpegs for easy transfer to a PC.
Also has a built in screen and a video out.
Very impressive on a 55" flat screen

It was a surprise gift from DreadedHermie.
Thanks again "Crunchy Pants".
It's a great thinker toy.
And a revealer of hidden beauty
I use this one as my wall paper;

This one is just kinda peaceful.

As for that tempered glass as a UV filter.
Borrow a pair of "Transitions" glasses and see for yourself.
As DH showed, they make a dandy UV detector.

Aloha,
Weezard

I know Dr. Hermie applied for the Klinger positionâ?¦..cum on. Itâ??s quite apparent that Olâ?? Crunchypants is way over qualified for the position. I submit that I have proven my qualification for the position unerringly over time. (READ MY LIPSâ?¦NO NEW THOUGHTS).

I wonâ??t argue the point that he looks better in a dress than I doâ?¦.but Iâ??ll put $20 down that that Iâ??m not nearly as bright as he is.

VOTE HORSEMAN for klinger

HMRâ?¦out

It looks like we have a veritable band of corporal Klingers... cool :thumbsup:

I'm going to orer one of those amazing eyeclops thingys tonight -how on earth did whoever (hermie?) find them!?!?

If I may be selfish here and ask a question: how close do you think uvb bulbs should be from the plants and how far away is too far away to be useful. In my current grow I have 4 30 watt Reptisun 10.0 36" bulbs, 2 for each HPS - on either side of the plants & I have them at various distances, but no closer than 20" to the plants and they're on for 5 hours a day only. Since the info out there is so scanty & sometimes contradictory - I thought I'd ask the smartest guys in town. (This little cadre is so awesome it really needs a name... we could get bowling shirts...:stoned
