some info here http://www.stonerhaven.com/topic/1276-uv-a-uv-b-rays-and-there-possible-effects-on-growing-marijuana/page-1
what do you mean when you say "Since uvb is never static in sunlight itself" ?
cool yeah, as suspected no UVB on the standard LED setup
Agromax saying in effect then that 64uw/cm2 is a safe limit for amount of UVB if they recommend a distance of 4 feet - are you running these agromax lights, do you have them on normal lighting schedule?
thanks
ouch!
so the agromax T5 Pure series lists "UV" output at 64 microwatts/cm2 at a distance of 4 Feet (on their website) - so will assume 48 microwatts/cm2 as this is 75% of 64 ?
i cant get these bulbs where i live anyway so that rules them out
Exo Terra UVB200 26 watt lists UVB output at 225...
Hi,
spent last couple of days reading up on UVB addition to grows - some people seem to recommend and are getting good results
will agree that there doesnt seem to be any clear data or experiments (maybe there are but i havent seen them yet)
Im thinking of going with these UVB200 26w bulbs...
ive got plenty of vertical height so i can keep them back a good bit - no way would i run them a few inches away, i tried that with my Mars light but its just way too close
thanks
Hi, im running these with dimming option from HLG320 1400ma driver, CB binning
How can I know how high to turn up the dimmer without causing deterimental effects to my plants? the plants are in 2.5 x 2.5 space
thank you
hi, sorry i couldnt turn up any results for this with the search im sure it has been asked before
but anyway, should the fan blow air away from the heatsink or towards? or maybe doesnt matter?
thanks
Im using stranded 16 AWG wire - looks like ill have to go for some non stranded wire, really disappointed with this wire socket thing, seems to accept a paper clip end but will not accept the wire no matter what i do - tried tinning them as well but just wont go in
really frustrating :( any tips??
