"When a plant is outside, they get a fair amount of UVA and UVB, typically in a ratio that is around 5% UVB and 95% UVA"

"It takes more than just random UVB. We have found certain frequencies of UVB make the plant react more vigorously than others. We have reason to believe that UVA is also beneficial. While it doesn't stimulate THC production, it penetrates much more deeply than UVB and may stimulated trichome production, which makes THC possible. This is why we have UVB lights with multiple "soft" peaks at the right frequencies, as well as strong UVA output in exactly the same part of the spectrum that the sun is strongest at. This gives you a sun-like glass tube that you control."

Solacure is way too strong (uv damages/kills/causes cancer, do your homework before jumping in), imo, especially for beginners...solacure is big on marketing their prods, so take what they say w a bottle of salt...their real biz is curing wood with uv...

If you’re interested see link above, randomblame is THE expert here, in my book

cool - didn't know about solacure's alterior motives hehe

just posting the bit about uva penetration
 
Switching over to full hydro after this run, other than outdoors. Going to run a raft in each room, 4 plants in each. One for flower, one for veg. When I run the long sativas, might even be able to squeeze in a full auto run in the veg side and double up.

Bad storms lately, power has been on and off. Worst case scenario, I can prop the rafts up and run full Kratky until the bubbles come back.

Work . Thinking what about those self adhesive wall hooks would work on the lid of the bucket to use to tie down .

I drilled holes in the actual lids of my buckets. Put eyebolts with two nuts and two washers through each, then clear siliconed the nut and washer pair that's on the bottom of the lid to prevent leeching into my nutes and water. Worked pretty well for me.
 
i would worry about the foam giving out on those wall hooks ice

especially with a fan blowing on them, and humidity is high, probably wouldn't stay stuck for long

It’s only uva, which may help with color terpenes, you need uvb for thc enhancement...like i mentioned earlier, scan thru this thread, https://www.rollitup.org/t/uv-suppliment-lighting.987316/page-29 ask questions there...

I’d be good boosting terpenes. I’m gonna give that thread a read this evening when I can spend a few hours on it. I appreciate the link. When I’m ready I’ll ask you to post that link to those UVB bulbs again lol.
