Extreme Flowering Under Pair of Timber 48SAMS

I’ve been playing with the idea of getting some flowerpower bulbs. They say that 2 of their 4ft fixture covers 8x8?
Nope, one fixture consists of two 4ft bulbs and is siutable for a 4x 4' area. But the flowerpower T12s can be overdriven. Normally its 25w bulbs but you can drive them with 40w each or even with 80w!
For a squared 8x 8' area one could use 6 bulbs at 20w or 4 at 40w but mounted in the center instead on the sides.

What means "measured dead to lamp"? Do they mean measured directly at the bulbs surface with no distance to the sensor? If the answer is yes, I bet you get higher readings with pureUV bulbs.
They claim a lot but some claims are really just BS. UVB can not increase CBD! It has no effect on CBD! As long as you use it not for the whole day its only a pulse no matter if 15, 30, 120 minutes or 6h. CBD is not affected! It may even get less if one irradiate CBD rich varieties or hemp.
Carry a hemp strain with 0,3% THC from tschechien to jamaika and let it grow for several generations. After a few generations it will start to produce more THC and less CBD. For this reason we have the strongest strains in zones with high UVB radiation and ruderalis/hemp strains in areas with less or almost no UVB.

Looks like initiator has been doing its job. Seems early harvest coming...

Separately, gonna switch to 4’ agromax w reflector tomorrow, will be 4x the power of 2-footers w/o reflectors...this is an extreme grow, gonna stick with the theme. Will start at 15mins each, begin & end of lightson.


Ppfd ~1050, controlled variables in range.

Hmm! Except for a bit of heat stress because of the high-energy UV radiation there is nothing to see.
Neither wilted leaves nor really bad burnings.
The 4ft bulb is four times as strong but how long did the two 24watters run per day? I think they can handle it well now since they are used to it..
My SSH girl has already 8 little branches like the other four and next week all they get repotted into 5 gal pots.
Finished the wing reflectors and rebuilding my light today. Now I have only 300w 3000°K/CRI80/90 mix(2:1) incl. ~20μMol/s/m² far-red and 2x 24w Arcadia/Agromax UVB, so 350w at the wall for ~9ft².

My old adjust-a-wing.. found it right to shape again wings out of it .. The little L shaped "spreaders" next to the reflector
are to reduce center intensity and get glued neodymium magnets so I can take them off easier .. Just for the case the Agromax cause a hotspot at 12".

Nice, RB! You only run a 3x3? How tall?

My 2’ agromax were running total 1 hour/day; 4’ currently running 30 mins; so, apples to apples, currently running about double the exposure,

are you planning to use the 2ft uvb in veg when running the bodhi gear ?
