Solistek MH 10K Finish bulb

Final Phase

Had to look it up. Interesting - Some growers use a mix of MH and HPS in flowering. At this time I'm using 2k hps and 2 400w mh
Final 6 weeks they will be getting 3k hps, 1.4k MH
Will track these for future.

Worked ok, seemed to prolong ripen times when C99 was exposed to it. I would say that it had a positive effect on potency, however I dont have any testing to back up the claims.

I'll have to revisit it I might use a 10K solis with gavitas but at this point in time its been pulled.

Speculation here, but I would say that a quality, high intensity UV light like the solis tek 10K bulb would be a better choice than a LED UV panel. If anything you could use the 10K on a mover if using it with HPS bulbs, I've observed that MH blue light on a ratio greater than 2(hps):1(mh) yield tends to suffer, and you get more leaves. Even small additions of HID blue light, helps with trich formation, potency and density something that customers will notice.

I use them every harvest. Use them the last 10-14 days. I start by mixing the spectrum with hps and work my way to a full 10k spectrum room for the last 2-3 days.

Any strong source of blue spectrum light works to supposedly increase THC production in the last few weeks.
Supposedly HPS with a little blue in them would do this. At least that's how I understood it today while shopping for a new Philips 400W bulb. I can't check the model right now, but if you're interested in knowing I can tell you about it in ~4 hours when the light flips on. Anyway, I'd like to think there's some truth to this, despite not being sure that it's a fact.
