Can you set your UVB timer to 5 mins per hour and let it run for 6h to get 0,5h with full UVB? Maybe better to start with a really low dose this time. The adaptation process is pretty quick and takes a maximum of a week or so. Maybe as long as it takes to get an indoor plant used to full sunlight but not more. After 3 days you could give them already 1h in the sun and after a week they should can handle up to 3 or more hours full sunlight. A little visible stress is always when you switch the UVB on and this is okay because it makes sure its working.
Looking forward for a few UV measurements and a few shots with your spectromaster handheld when all additional lights are turned on. I might get an Arduino based DIY Spectrometer; saw some kits for less than 100$. One would need to convert the camera recordings in SPD charts manually but they have a web service for that. Not that comfortable like such a handheld model like yours(still jealous) but I hope to get at least an idea how my spectrum looks like with the UVB bulbs and far-red switched on. I would probably play with it all day long, lol!
So do not be so stingy, bro, and let us finally see some measurements...
