Hola. La diferencia es que tenes tenes un espectro más completo de luz. El sol también emite rayos uv. Yo los enciendo en fase de vegetales y en las últimas 2 semanas de floración. Ya que favorece la producción de tricomas de la planta. Lo cual hace tu hierva más potente. Suerte

Creepy Steve is almost always on point with things especially lighting. One note on UV leds, they burn out faster as the UV rays degrade things. including the tent and plastics in the tent. Do not look into the didoes when they are on as UV can be very damaging. also if the diode is making UVC and not a or b. do not use it. UVC is really bad and our ozone protect us from 99% of it. Its in a lot of cheep products designed for sanitizing things. Good Luck!

maybe it does, maybe it doesn't... early testing with UV on field crops showed no statistically discernable impact. Studies done on some indoor plants did show a statisticalyl significant impact, but hasn't been easily reproduced since then, so it's a little doubtful. I've heard of arecent study that showed it wasn't helpful. it's a complicated thing given the relativistic realtionships invovled in growing marijuana. IR i've heard some are going away from it because it can cause too much stretch. there's a lot of peple jumping the gun. "Belief" mostly depends on whether or not they've invested money into it, then instead of beinga rational decision it becomes more about ego and such things that are irrelevant. The uv can have other postive effects not related to potency or yield. maybe it's real benefit will be something more preventatitve related to microbes and pests. Anyone that gives a black and white answer on this doesn't understand how the scientific method works. early studies need to be verified. 90% are later proven to be false claims, so never invest too heavily into "initial studies show..." .. unless it is an incredibly easy question to answer - like, "is their a buildup of minerals in bud if you don't flush" .. and the answer is no.. not it does not build up, lol.. because this is a simple question with a simple answer given our technology available. either the molecules exist out of proportion or tey do not when analyzed.. they do not.
