Anyone using UVB lights yo finish in flowering? Is so, what brand lights are using? In what size space? How many hours a day? How many times a day? Have watched the Migro, Cali Lightworks, etc videos and they all give different info to these questions...

Thanks!!!
 
@Cerebral Goo Yes I use 2- AgroMax t5 48 UVB plus 10,000K tubes from the first week of flower to harvest 18/6 and 1 t5 48 Pure UV (75% UVB 25% UVA) for the last 3 weeks of flower 2 hours per day mid-day. My terpene profile improved greatly and THC is maxed out to the strain genetics. These are available USA only. If you get the Pure UV do not work with it on not even for 1 minute. You will get a burn!

4x6x8 space

Same here, US based so I also have an agromax T5 pure UV.

Htgsupply carries housings and bulbs. They have single bulb lamp options in 2ft and 4ft lengths.

Thanks for the info! You had replied on one of my other posts, about your Chilled pucks and uvb, but didn't list what kind of uvb light. The question wasn't related to uvb so didn't expect any comment on uvb lights. I Really appreciate and am grateful for your comments and all the help and knowledge you impart for all of us getting our feet wet!!!
Also noticed your comments and pics on the food thread. It seems as though you are a epicurean of the finest order!!!

Yes I was born in a restaurant/bar family and I am an accomplished cook and chief bottle washer. My wife is a graduate of the CCA of San Francisco and was an executive chef for 20 years. My real credit goes to my mother who without any formal training could hold her own against any chef anytime with any style. Our meals as children were never boring. I have so many food allergies now I have to be really creative to make old recipes in new ways.

Nice! (not the allergy part!) I worked off and on in restaurants as well as growing up in a restaurant family too. I used to live in multiple places in the Bay area for twenty years. Worked at Chez Panisse for a minute. Just spent 10 years in Charleston SC before moving to Va somewhat recently and had a lot of well know chef friends and neighbors that taught me a lot. And added some pounds! However, moms and grand moms are still where it's at. I would put quite a few of the best home made meals I had up against any Michelin star restaurants besides maybe El Bulli.
I make it back to the Bay usually once or twice a year (less now the Raiders moved). Appreciate all the advice!!!

A couple of questions for the Devil...What length bulb(s) do you use in what size space? Height? Also how long and at what intervals do you use the lights? Have you run different schedules/timeframes? The linked article has multiple scenarios and just wondered what works best for you...
