Hi Mike. Safety tip: Glass stops UV rays. If you have to be in the room with the UV on, wear real glass over your eyes. Chuck.

Dear Mike,
I don't think most of the growers use separate UV light for their growth either with HPS or with LEDs. However, in most of the LED models, there are 1-2 UV light on the board (the ones without any colour when open, invisible to us).
Hope this helps,
Y

Flip light schedule1 week into flowering and I need to change lighting schedule, complete reversal from night/day due to cold night tempswhen lights are on. Only way to achieve would be to have 24 hours of dark. There maybe an impact but warmer day temps I'm sure will benefit in the end. ThoughtsWeek 4

Boost buddyAhora con la subida de temperaturas estoy alcanzando los 31-34°C en el indoor. Uso Boost Buddy un generador de CO2 a través de la descomposición de bacterias. Solo con eso ya estaría bien o debería modificar de alguna manera el indoor para no llegar a esas temperaturas? GraciasWeek 10

Which strategy with auxiliary grow Leds ? 3x20w Leds -Thanks !Helps maturing but I wonder if buds are bigger. I used to put 3 extra lights 20 cm below canopy, leave many large leaves at the top and lollypop 30%. 30% is definitely not enough even with those 20w LEDS (50% is probably better). How do you use extra LEDS ? Where do you put them?Week 10
