UVB or MH at the end of flowering

[Specialist]

Does anybody know if supplementing HPS with MH or UVB lamps in the last couple weeks of flowering increases potency siginificantly? perhaps during final flush?

I've also heard of people using UVB for like 4hrs a day while running hps on the normal 12.

hey did you ever end up trying these lights? If so how long did you leave them on and at what point of flowering did u use them? Thinking of picking up some myself..
thanks in advance

The added blue spectrum WILL increase the qaulity and resin on your buds. Last year i used a 1000 watt HPS and added in a 250 watt mh during the last 2 weeks. Definatly frosts your buds up and gives your plants a more balanced spectrum of light.

Ive also supplemented my 400 watt HPS with 6500k T5 bulbs during all of flower. The buds closest to the blue bulbs were smaller, but had more trichomes.

Go for it!!

I run a 1k HPS for my flower then the last 3 weeks I also run a 1k MH for 6 hours a day. My hood is a dual bulb hood. And my flower bed is on wheels so I move it around and even rotate it 360 to let all plants get their fair share of light.




I grow alittle and smoke alot. I do not hurt anybody. Why is it illegal?
