Has anyone added uv bulbs to there setup?

Looking at the same thing so this is interesting to listen in on. A 2ft Pure UV looks rather interesting.

I'm waiting for mine!

Yours are all finished Doc! I'm getting ready to PM you now!

If you drilled to the side of the top (I wish I had) than you maximize the room. I also recommend a second large hole for water pouring and pH/PPM testing. You could cover that with another pot. You could still fit several pots on top. Consequences are limiting max light height, and they tend to get bigger in hydro, could shade out a neighbor under the those conditions.

Under normal DWC, the splash of the bubbles and other splashing you can make, hits up the sides of the netpots. The level is kept under the pot to facilitate this maximization of oxygen. In a bucket, you will have to water the soil, but a drip is fine.

I think for temp fix. A 10 gallon Rubbermaid brute trash can with lid. I could even go real cheap and add block to sit the bucket on inside the brute. Cut lid hole for 5 gal bucket. And have a mini dwc for 1 5 gallon hybrid hempy bucket lol. What a trip! Looks like I got a big weekend project lol.

No John Fogerty, this is out the front door!

Here's the outdoor gorilla glue being used for the outdoor grow contest next to my very first outdoor plant (albeit from a hard ware store, but it grows, so it counts) witch hazel.

I did quite a bit of research on the subject myself, I posted in his old thread on the subject (with references). I looked into the chemical precursors that are effecting UV absorption, and the physiological effects as they move through the plant. I do not believe that UV will directly increase THC production. Under lab conditions, we may be able to show that some of the same enzymes and compounds are involved or used in THC production, but there is not yet a link between the UV light absorption and cannabinoid tissue systems. It is my hypothesis that UV absorbing pigments are a defense mechanism for light and heat stress.

Sure now you tell me .

I think this is along the right line. I am wondering if in the finish you could use this to induce a sar response and really fire off the Trich production. Not sure if it would stop the finishing weight. For those that grow commercially there is always the consideration of bag appeal. And hairy buds that look dipped in shimmering crystals seems pretty marketable. So there is that as well.

A good friend of mine is a well know audio engineer. I miss the guy, I need to go say hello. We're both hermits. I have big plans, I want to build a infinitely baffled sub assembly through my living room floor. LOL... I can, why the hell not! I worked in electronics for a long time. Satcom mostly, and hardware repair/installs etc... I gave it up to grow food stuff for the apocalypse.

I love nice speakers!!! I have the Logitech Z5500 and a Z680 both well over 15 years old!! the 5500 will drop pictures off the walls.. the Z680 is hook to me LG 59 UHD TV using fire TV unlocked with KODI 17.1 no XXX I like toys!!!! passes to @Rebel then @wwwillie
