Does anyone have experience using UV light as a supplement along with HPS during flowering? The research seems to indicate a strong correlation between UV exposure and THC development. The question is how to provide the most economical source for the UV. This last grow I used a 250W MH (mogul base) along with a 600W HPS. No glass in the reflector. Results seemed to be better. I'm thinking of setting up a pair of double ended MH bulbs in the reflector. It seems that double ended bulbs don't block the same level of UV as the outer jacket on mogul base bulbs. Any guru's out there with some real experience in this arena? And yes, I'm aware of the potentials dangers from UV exposure and take the proper precautions.
I aint no expert but i read some things. Burp. Lol, Uv light i guess stimulates or attacks the plants into thinking they need to produce more thc to survive like sunblock. It's true. Like at the equator. Thc is their sefense i read. I aint no expert tho. Also the glass in the hoods has to be QUARTZ glass or else it will block like 3 % of light. The part it blocks tho is a special band or someting that plants really love alot. All galss blocks it except quartz glass so if yu get better results w/o glass its becasue of this light i read.
