I'm still torn on the UVB issue. I use two 25W UVB CFL bulbs (repti-lights), but I don't have them right up on the plants and I only use them for 3 hrs/12. I have heard everything from "makes no difference" to "you're an idiot if you don't do it". Frankly I'm leaning toward the "probably isn't necessary, but its something for those of us who can't stop fiddling with everything" idea at this point. Given results like that of crystaliscious', I really wonder what the fuss is about. I haven't noticed any burning of tissue, but I also don't notice any denser trichome production in the areas nearest the bulbs. Also a week ago I left them on accidentally for 24 hrs, potentially damaging my budding cycle. Also, and perhaps more importantly, even if it did increase potency/trichome production, it's an additional stress on the plant. This will affect production of other terpenes in the trichomes and that could potentially adulterate the taste/aroma. That may be why crystaliscious preferred the untreated cutting.
Chromophore Reviewed by Chromophore on . Increasing THC?? I have read a bit on this subject, but I would like to hear it from someone who has tried it with success. If I can get away with out adding another chemical, I would like to go that route. I also understand sometimes you gotta add a little something to help her grow. So is it possible to increase the THC production while in bloom?:smokin: Rating: 5
