Tell me EVERYTHING you know about using UV. What, how and when!
Looking lush in there, I have the same issues about cooling... would cost me a packet! I remember the noise being fun as well!
Keep at it!

That sounds awesome, @MedCzech ! 70-75 cm would be perfect! With the way they have grown out horizontally, I believe that is all I can handle in my space.

Haha! Thanks man. Just trying to figure out the UV thing. I bought an inexpensive reptisun 10 during the end of the last grow... the last two weeks. I just changed positions every day or two, and increased the time it was on every couple days. @Mañ'O'Green posted a testimonial about UVB that had me ordering a light that same day!

Exposing plants in mid to late flower with UVA and UVB rays triggers the plants immunity defense to create more oils and trichomes to better protect itself. Terpene production also rises considerably, although they don't exactly understand why. As much as 25 to even 40% rise in this production has been documented with the average being around a 10 to 15% increase.
Too good to ignore the benefits for sure. The Reptisun 10.0 bulb works well for a 2 x 2 area unless you get the T5 version, then you can do a 4 x 4 area.

Just like @Iriee Vibez said, move it around and make sure the entire canopy gets exposed. There is lots of info online if you look.

Thanks @MedCzech ! I knew it was good stuff, but couldn't recall the details! Lol!

Are you on the american continent? If so the best UV bulbs available are t5 48" AgroMax Pure UV 25% UVA 75% UVB So Strong do not work around it turned on PERIOD. It will increase the THC content of your crop. Use it about 20" from the canopy and run it a couple of hours a day - mid day for the last three weeks of the grow. Newer and better IMPO is the t5 48" AgroMax UVA Plus 10,000K. I run two of these the last 4 or 5 weeks full lights on time 20" above canopy and it improved the terpene profile beyond expectation as well as the THC strength. Don't work under these lights either. If you are across the pond you are out of luck they do not ship there.

Day 31

Week 1 of Flowering

Lots have changed in the last couple days. I changed the reservoir, adding in the flowering nutes this time, half strength BIg Bud and Bud Candy to the standards mix from last week. This brought my starting ppms up to 1040 or 2.0 EC. I filled up with the top off reservoir with nutes about a third strength of the reservoir. I still haven't done any training, as these plants are growing out nicely.

I switched out the KIND LED for my flowering stage lighting. 2 Cree cobs and a Chilled puck by RapidLED. I think these not only will help the density and size of the buds, but i am a firm believer that they slow the stretch down a bit.

Here is the lighting set up:

Here is GB 1, the battle plant:

So far so good. Let the fun part begin!
