You need a UVB reptile lamp not a black light FYI

I'm speechless ! penis insult ??

I've read man ! I just dont get the point to put a black light while the plant are suppose to sleep. to increase THC production ?

Alot of conspiracy theory about increasing THC ! but i never say that thc is a natural defence against UV.

Try to find a way to increase CBD production, it help with stress :)

don't know about black lights, But I do believe the moon puts out some kind of light that the plants have used for millions of years, figuring out what and how much is the trick, but there is something more going on after dark then just sleeping. and yeah, the penis insult was really childish.

sorry about the penis insult, i thought youd read the thread wrong, it turned out id read your post wrong, opps ,
whos the penis nose now, , didn't you watch the youtube vid about how uv works on the tricholms, it makes sense and alot of people do it without knowing with mh lamps? Adding uva light is just like a light booster, i suppose if you want to understand it you'll have to work out what role uv light from the sun plays on earth, we know what the other colours do, and uv is there for a reason, reptiles need it for some reason, but humans don't need it so we get a tan in defence, not only to be able to tell if a chicks been wearing a thong! There's a reason its there ,,, hopefully to get me more stoned, but ill settle for the thong detector?

UVB is what u want for thc production more than UVB i believe. But all the UVB lights r very high in UVA

UV lights are more dangerous to the grower than the plant, if you want to look like Bubbles but with serious bud ....sure give it a go, but I prefer to leave my plants in the sun for the last 2-3 weeks afore harvest, ...in the know my plants are full grown and fully aware of their surroundings
Its a good thing there's a switch to turn them off. I plan on giving it a try next run just to see if there is a noticeable difference.

I took a couple plants out from under a 1000 watt hps and finished them the last 2 weeks under a 400 c.m.h. The color change was awesome and everybody raved about the bud. FWIW.
