How long to run uvb and where in the 12 hr light cycle to use it?

Southofheavenstarted grow question 4 years ago

Hey folks, ive got a t5 24watt uvb bulb putting out nm at 270 to 315, in previous grows i was having this on for 2 hours in the middle of the light cycle each day for the last two weeks of the grow. Part of me is saying thats too long, your thoughts? Cheers

I have uv in my sp250.. how many watts the two or three chips put idk, but they are on all the time. If you are concerned about leaf damage you could put the uv higher then your other lights. I know indoor is different but naturally they are bombarded by uv all the time so one would think they could definitely take more then 2 hours of uv.

Add on lighting Hey Growdiaries. I’m about to start my 2nd grow but I’m not happy with my Viparspectra 300 for flower. I want a cheap add on for the flower stage? CFLs look like a cheap, low energy use, add on as I’m only growing two plants in a small w3xd2xh3 ft tent. Any advice plz & 🙏🏼

Lighting Horsepower I have a Horticultural Lighting Group 260 QB V2 R Spec light (260 watt LED). I previously had a 20" x 36" tent and the light was great. I have just gotten a 36" (91cm) x 36" (91cm) tent and wondering if this is enough power for great production or if more light would be better?

Is closer to the light much better?Is the light closer better? I have a VIPARSPECTRA 1000W LED Grow Light (10W LED ,x100) and it says during veg 18-26 and flowering distance at 18-24”. Looking at other growers using LED they are closer. Should I try to keep it closer a little at a time? Is there benefit?

Bud too close to the light Hi. The main bud on one is 10cm from the light. I cant raise the light any higher and have a bit more vertical growth to go. Shall I remove the bud at a lower artery, or leave it and bend it around the light somehow?? Don't want to loose the main bud but will if I have to?!?
