Rusty... Very good points...I mean 660nm LED's are not cheap.. HID is a very proven lighting setup.

Most strains I've tried uv-b on has increased trich's but it's too hazardous for me and my uncle.. Then we seen clear inc's do a better job.. Finding out that clear inc's are mostly 660/730 explains our findings.. Until I smoked PAD med's I thought just like you HID was doing just fine... But after comparing PAD med's to a standard 12/12 HID med's, I can say there is quite a difference.. BUT yes is it worth the extra money/setup... I think for some it will be and for some it won't be.. For LED growers it will be a must..:thumbsup:
Dogznova Reviewed by Dogznova on . HID Time factor manipulation I've been following the UV-B thread for a while. Cool stuff. Makes me want to get back into growing. But, what really gets me going is the Martian stuff and the light time factors for increasing tric production. I seems to me that, unless you've got a ton of cash for LED's or have alot invested in HPS setups already, it's really hard to get down to the magic 1.8 and decent yield. However, I have some ideas to get closer: Fluorescent Supplemental Lighting: http://kinoflow.com has HO Rating: 5
