It seems like many of the lights i see advertised claim to include UV but according to this article these claims are mostly BS. Is there a specialty COB that overlaps into the UV spectrum -
Lighting Not getting much frost
- Thread starter lunarman
- Start date
There might be but I only run autocobs so I have to supplement with my own UVB, which I prefer to do anyway. More flexible than a fixed fixture with all lights on one frame. And we are talking in the $100 price range instead of the $1000's that other companies would charge.
I have a reptile UVB tube in place already hanging with my HPS and autocob lights, and I have a super potent Germicidal medical class UVB tube that I'm just waiting for a fixture for. I don't go for false advertising like you say. I am pretty confident that what I have is the real deal.
As others have said Stress a plant out and it will try to defend itself. I read once a while ago a couple old timers chatting about an old trick to increase trich production. The trick was 48-56 he’s before harvest cut a third of the way into the stalk (one plant I had tie up after Doing this she was heavy and leaning and I cut into the wrong side oops) it could’ve been mental but I swear the Trichs were crazy by harvest not only a lot of them but the biggest I’ve ever seen. Did it on a couple and they all seemed to do the same. I’m gonna try it again when this run is ready.

Something along those lines, I’ve heard of guys splitting & sticking something all the way through the main stalk a week before harvest. Never tried it myself.

Yeah actually now that u say it I’ve seen it on a YouTube video.
You'd think with the abuse I give my ladies they would grow in to be high quality and high yield plants, but for some reason that is not quite happening yet!
It will happen your in the right spot to get the best info

I recently finished a fastbuds GSC that had little to no frost even on(what would normally be) the sugar leaves. Not exactly heavy production in the buds either. However, it does certainly work, I would consider myself to have a pretty high tolerance but it is a strong, stoney affect and a subtle but pleasant taste. She was a very purple/Black plant right down to the leaves and stalks. Quite a sight she was.
She grew alongside and two or three weeks ahead of two of her “packet sisters”. These by contrast are some of the frostiest plants I have personally seen in the flesh. They aren’t purple in any sense bar subtle hues on one. Genetic I reckon and a relative lack of visible frost does not directly correlate to potency.
It does dramatically affect final weight though! Sorry no photography or trimming skills.View attachment 901315
Looks terrible but works well
