Lighting (help plz)
i agree you will want to add a compact flor, or 2 or 5
BUT i say keep the reptile light if you are already using it... i use one in my setup too
most of the UV-B lights are higher in the blue range, which is good for veg, not as good for flower... i keep one in my mix of lights because no other indoor lights produce UV-B radiation (forget UV-A).... MJ produces more resin as a defense mechanism to protect itself from UV-B radiation in, for example, tropical climates where the radiation is more intense.
since you could never come close to reproducing the amount of UV-B that is present in natural sunlight at any latitude, these bulbs can't possibly harm the plant, and could potentially give a slight increase your resin production, however, they are not good to use as primary lighting, only supplemental, because flowering requires more light in the red spectral range that these bulbs don't have
out of my 105watts lighting per square foot of grow space, about 15w/SF is UV-B output, another 15 is a regular blue spectrum bulb, 30 more is a purple mixed spectrum light, and 45 is warm white CFL (which is higher in red... cool whites are higher in blue)[align=center]\"You are in a constant state of learning, and life itself is your teacher.\" -Bruce Lee
