New Grower Lights 18/6 or 20/4

[Nemesis]

Does this mean that we have to introduce more UV into our Lights? Now thats a bit dodgy, i dont fancy cataracts lol

Ive heard of decent results using a UV bulb in the room, especially for trichs. Never done the bit my self but its worth a shot.

My personal was always 18/6 start to finish. Then i started getting bigger in size and lights and went 18\6 summer and 20/4 in the winter to keep temps right.
either way that i ran them i had great results.

Yes... good advice from FD as always.

I have tested UVB... it def increases trich production and potency.

Great info, thanks. What type of UV bulb, like a black light or some other type?? Would love to try this and is the uv bulb on the same light schedule or ran nonstop or when the other lights are off? Complete novice here, thanks.

Sounds lovely mr piggy thanks for your input. so I might answer my question I had as to when should uvb be introduced to the ladies veg or bloom or thru both? sounds like both.

i use 20/4 but never tried any others with autos. also i have a repti glo 10 30-40? inch uvb tube and ballast left over from a lizard i had was thinking of using it at some point. any tips? not to hijack the thread.
reptiglo 10 was highly recommended for lizards as being a strong one.might apply here too.

I run everything for the whole grow on 20/4.
