Happy to help.

You can save a tad more if you wish.

The UV is not necessary.

Cannabis will grow, flower, and become extremely potent with 0 UV.
It does not create resin glands to "protect it's self" from UV.
Quite the contrary!

Outside, the UVc degrades the resin glands almost as fast as they are produced.
Fries them down to tiny black dots that blow away in the wind.
I have watched it happen with my Eyeclops.

And the far red, 730nm., is counterproductive unless it is applied at the appropriate times.
It's function is phytochrome conversion.
Far red can be used to hasten flowering when applied for an hour at "light's out".

Just an aside on the CFL addition.
Nothin' wrong with that, it won't hurt.
Did it myself early-on when I thought there might be "missing wavelengths".
Turned out it was the strain.
She was a photon hog.
Was not about spectrum, was about raw power.

I am breeding her with 2 strains that love the leds hoping to change her greedy mind.
Working?
Too soon to tell, I'll keep y'all posted on any progress.

Weezard Reviewed by Weezard on . Designing LED grow panel Anyone that could be any help in my LED project, feel free to chime in. This light panel will be put in a single Rubbermaid grow box. I plan to run Luxeon Rebel LED series, in a Saber Tri-Star chip. Essentially, there's three Rebel LED's on one chip, having a 10V forward voltage, and the ability to run 700 mA. I want to run 3 reds, and 3 blues. The reason why I want to use equal colour amounts is because it makes it easier to wire for drivers, and the red colour LED's are more efficient than Rating: 5
