How to Best Use Supplemental UV Light Before Harvest?
Organicanna2020started grow question 6y ago
Hello fellow growers,
Anyone supplementing with UV light during the last 2-3 weeks before harvest? If so what type of results have you seen? What style of lighting have you been using and how often and for how long are you turning the lights on for and distance from flowers?

Hey, buddy! 👋
Ultraviolet is essential for metabolism and plant growth. This part of the spectrum prevents stem stretching and increases the vitamin C content in the plant, acting on the plant like low temperatures, hardening its resistance to the cold!
I used a multi-spectrum matrix 50w with blue + red + ultraviolet + infrared - it's a good stress for the plant during adult vegetation and flowering! But for a seedling - it's too intense of a light! 👆
Good luck, bro!

Breaking light cycle during floweringDoes breaking the dark cycle after half an hour of dark will stress the plant? I just opened the box 30 minutes after the light went down during the first week of flowering. Can this make my plants hermaphrodite?Setup. Lighting

Temperature ControlHelp! How do I get my temperature down? I have all 3 vents open & 4 fans blowing. My air duct hasn’t come in the mail yet so I can’t set up my exhaust fan yet.

Light came on for about 30 seconds about 3 hours into the dark cycleSo Im 3 days into 12/12 and I bumped my timer last night and my light came on suddenly during the dark cycle. I immediately shut it right back off. Was I wrong in shutting it back off right away? Should I be worried about anything?4y ago

Weak full spectrum led place in front of window enough to finish bloom?The weather looks really bad so i guess i need to take her inside a lot. I place her inside a barn in front of the glass door but she still hasnt there much light there. I ordered a 40 Watt full spectrum LED to add on the sunlight. Just read "used power 10 W" Will that be enough

Set Up TentHow should I set up my carbon filter, exhaust fan & air ducts? I’m in limited space right now but want to make sure I get good air circulation still. I set it up the wrong way the last time I had it up but it was already up so I just left it. Also, my fans. Where should they go ?

And if it's not difficult, tell me how I should control the light at all stages of growth from growth to the end of flowering!? at what distance from the plants should the light be? and what power adjustments on the driver should I make?

Setting up air cooled refactor.I've got a new air cooled light refractor, a tube like one. I've set it up such as the pic, I'm thinking of putting the extractor where it shows on the pic with the air flow going the way of the arrow, would this be OK? I can't find anything online about setting this one up.
