First grow (flowering stage only) with pics

[thenewgrow]

your girls look's great man is it MH you are flowering under ? i can see that blue light on some of the leaf's from the light

Thanks people. No I'm flowering under HPS. The blue is coming from a couple of UVB cfl lamps I have up high. I corrected the color a bit before uploading since the HPS makes everything dark orange.

To be clear, the 600w HPS is just out of the picture. One of the UVB cfls can be seen in the upper right. The other one is out of the picture on the left. I run these for about 3 hrs per light cycle. I haven't noticed any leaf damage from them, but it remains to be seen if they will really enhance trichome production or not.

Chromophore, the plants look good. Your grow room looks very clean and tidy also. Good job.

[thenewgrow]

ah ok

i do not wona use UVB light's - because large amounts of UV light can lead to cancer.

it's just a personal opinion

but your grow look's great that's forsure

--peace--

Yeah I don't go in there when the UV lamps are on. They are low enough output that it would take a fair bit of exposure before there would be much risk of cancer. But even a few seconds of looking directly at them can hurt your eyes. I'm on the fence about using them to be honest.

[thenewgrow]

good to hear you are aware of it.
it can be dangerous

but your plants are super nice

What type of uv cfl are you using? All cfls produce a little more uv than other fluorescents, but it sounds like you're using special uv ones, which is really over kill, since the regular ones produce enough. The ones called reveal come the closest to reproducing sunlight & are recomended by drs for their patients with seasonal effective disorder. Point being, they don't produce enough uv to be harmful, & you could keep them on for the whole light cycle.

Glad you found your way out of the mighty jungle! So will you be posting bud pics once a week?

Uh oh we may never find out the answer to your question and see some juicy pics, catbuds - it looks like thenewgrow has a little "Banned" sign under his or her name! That is very unfortunate I always wonder what leads to that for people...

Blue will increase resin production. But u won't know cause u won't be able to compare.
