UVB duration during flower
Hey DGC folks!
I’m wondering at what point during flower are you folks turning on the UVB lights? Also, how long are you leaving them on?
I’ve completed one run with the UVB supplemental lights. I turned them on during weeks 6-8 of a 9 week flower period and kept them lighted for 3 hours each day.
What’s y’all’s settings for UVB, if you use them?

You said you had 1 run, what were your results?
-
Well, it seemed to me like it was the frostiest run I’ve had yet. But, since it was the only time I’ve used UVB, IDK if it was genetics or any number of other variables.

Positive results Nice job.
So in your opinion, was it worth the expense of the light?
-
Definitely worth it for me because growing is also a fun hobby and these Migro fixtures are inexpensive. I also like tweaking and fiddling with everything.

I run mine 30 minutes each hour of light.
-
So, are you running it for 6 hours consecutively during flower? Or 30 minutes on/30 minutes off?
-
30 on 30 off

I’ll definitely have to consider some UV and IR supplemental lights that run on timers like this.
I personally don’t like IR in the main lights because the SF kit I had came with it built in and more control over it seemed better to control the heat in the environment.
