So here is my observation.....i had several plants growing in early preflower. Some were under the UV lights and some were under the regular LED lights. The UV plants certainly had early crystal production. I noticed that all of the plants under the UV had earlier crystal production. I proceeded to move the plants and with 2 days the plants that were under the non UV lights had a noticable amount of crystal forming.
The theory - UV is harmful to the plants(and us as well!!) The plants response to harmful light is to add more light refraction which comes in the form of mushroom shaped trichomes to break up the harmful light. To me it makes total sense and even without scientific proof I have already seen the effect first hand.

must be on a molecular level to trigger trich. production to protect the plant, a certain wavelength to trigger . because we all know, hot lights just cause plants to stress, wilt, canoe, bleach etc, but not necessarily increased trich. production . Reptiles in a sense do the same, using certain UV light wavelengths for certain metabolic processes.

Yes, I read about that, and I think that conversation is another science thread on site. I tried pretty hard to disprove it and could not. That is some pretty good recommendation for trying it. I have enough data to present for a study if feel like doing it. I would love to test that in lab conditions.

I as well would like to see that truly tested with cloned plants in a controlled setting. I am realllllly far from being a scientist, but I do feel I have astute powers of observation. LOL

Wow, get a way afterhours call from the Dr office. But atleast I'm scheduled now for the followup for my Medical card. Then to fill out all the State paperwork just to be legal.

the thing is, plants already have several light avoidance mechanisms, and the methods of absorbing light and splitting off electrons for photosynthesis is well studied. There is just no know way for the plant to use UV. To show it scientifically I would have to find out exactly where the UVB photons are landing, and what changes happen. Trichome production mechanisms are supposed to be light independent.

I’m growing a pineapple from scrap... how’s that for science lol

That is GREAT to hear my friend...really great to hear one of the right people is getting a license for the right reasons!! Hope it all works out perfect for my my friend.

anyway. Enough science. I'm frickin tired from tile floor work all day. Who wants some of this?

Hell yeah brother! Glad you’re getting the help you need!!!

Jeez bud....you obviously know a great deal more about this than I do!!

I wish i could get my brother back into growing...he sets up experimental lab equipment, and is a genius as far as I am concerned!! I have n doubt he could excel far past me in growing if he had nearly the same passions about it as I do.
