    Arcadia UVA/B lights ordered and with luck should be received by the end of the week. Plan is to use them for 3 hours per day from 11am to 2pm. Has anyone got any experience of using UV lights with their fruit/veg/MJ?

    The Dark Secret of LED lighting

    Dear Lord..... Some people just love trying to throw faeces.... Like monkeys in a zoo. Unfortunately this faeces is old and irrelevant.

    So here are the day 34 photos... You'll notice that outside.... The Zs are bigger and lighter green with more stretch. And only ONE flower and fruit between 4 pants. CLZs are throwing out fruit and blooms all over and are bushier.
