When I looked at all of this a couple years ago before making the plunge, there were some reports / threads out there that measured the wavelength and output in new and old bulbs. It was found that some bulbs did not put out what they claimed. Others had UV-b drop significantly in 6 months.

After 6 months you notice the bulbs arent as bright as brand new and after 12 months they got to be changed, i like to run bulbs 6 months apart on average that way i always got old and new bulbs hence halving the small light loss.

So dose this suggest that the levels of some flouros in uv could be adequate for plant growth, i mean i get really crystally plants with them rspecially the cfl's over the flouros? Peace

I know this thread is supposed to be about UV, but what about the other end of the spectrum? I'm thinking about picking up a couple of these to heat my grow shed in the winter during 12/12 dark cycle:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002DIAXE/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Emits a natural "sun-like" infrared heat.

No light emitted, does not disturb normal day or night periods.

Anyone use them to keep your grow room warm during the dark cycle during flowering before? I don't think infrared will cause a plant to hermie, and someone told me that they have been using those for two years during their dark cycles with no issues at all. I'm just looking for some more feedback.

That's what I thought too, but then I read into the description and it said:

"has a broader sun-like spectrum of infrared radiation than incandescent lighting and doesn't emit visible light."

It made me wonder if it gave off light that was beyond our spectrum, but still detectable by plants.

Thanks, cannawizard. That's exactly what I'm looking for is some heat without light. My grow is in an outside shed and I'm looking at those infrared heat lamps to keep temps warm in there while lights are off. With winter right around the corner it will be around the 10*F-20*F range in a few months where I live. A few of those 100w infrared bulbs should keep my grow area nice and cozy until lights come back on during the winter.

well actually am only doing one right now the rest are rooting or flowering.

this is a super cropped clone of the purest sats you will find, ques the lankyness n the skinny as leaves.

*IR is good for heat applications :) was gonna use a couple of those outdoors to keep my ladies cool during late fall..
