<span class="link_user">@GuerillaPL86</span>, Yeah CLW also claims UVB is required and cite a source that “proved this” by growing in a greenhouse. They also claim UVA does nothing so I take whatever they say with a grain of salt. They also say that UVB can be used all the time and that’s just not true with Cannabis - it’s too destructive in high doses.) UVA is far, far more prevalent in the atmosphere.
Think about it: why would UV only increase THC when we know it increases the number of trichomes? It’s just a stress response. (UVB works btw but it’s more destructive to both the plant and people under it and you want to limit the exposure to a few hours a day at the most.)
<span class="link_user">@GuerillaPL86</span>, Show me the research the says that. UV technically does not affect cannabinoids at all, what it does is it causes stress to the plants. UV attacks the plants and causes it to stress - thinking it is burning - which means it creates more of what it uses to protect itself. In cannabis, that's trichomes. More trichomes means more cannabinoids and terpenes - regardless of content.
This pheno has never tested over 0.7% THC and regularly tests between 17-24% CBD. I will be sure to get a lab test at the end of this to prove my point.

The last run I did with this light, I hit 145g after drying and curing and one of the two plants had lockout during the middle of flowering. I think I'll get at LEAST 1.5g/W. Goal is always 2g/W.:heart_eyes:
