uvb definitely works. My inda gro I have and the cmh I had both put out uv-a and uv-b and definitely got more trichomes under that light. Led is a close 2nd. Hps not even close.
the reptile bulbs put out much more uv-b so only run them on a 5 hour cycle. Anymore can damage the plant.

Per Ed Rosenthal's book: I tried to augment one 1000w HPS with 100w of UVB tanning light for last 2 weeks of flowering. However, I only had a 600w tanning bed, so it was on for 2 hours during the 12 hour 'on' cycle of HPS.UVB mimic one of the light spectrum which I heard increase the overall potency of the THC
anyone tryed it?!
because I'll...
'Shocking the monkey' definitely produced a statistically significant difference in max THC (the only important number)!

UV both A+B are great fro the last 2 weeks before harvest but only a FOOL would have an active UV light in his grow room, its a serious health issue, do you want to have old man eyes, be half blind with cataracts etc when you ain't even 30 yet ...go figure, put you plants out in the some for 4-8 hours before harvest

Yeh we all know what UVB light does to us, in your opinion people with reptiles are fools too when they peek into their pet tank... lmao it's like looking into 1000w HPS or trying to touch it, mate we're just discussing the effect of UVB on our plant not sunbathing in our grow rooms

Yes, though 'high' is a relative term, & medical strains much over 2-3% are rare(unless, maybe, their THC% is much lower?) I have heard there is work going on to increase CBD, but it requires a corresponding decrease in THC since Dr. Mechoulem? determined both are synthesized in the acid form in the plant from CBGa

I read an article somewhere where it states that early harvest result in more THC than CBD, and longer curing result in less THC and more CBD as the THC degrade into one of the CBD forms anyone had any experience with this?

I have cannatonic from resin seeds. I got tester cbd strains from subcool / tga that are not out yet.

Thank you but I too collect reptiles, and unlike humans, many reptiles even birds are saved with the use of their nictitating membranes, or 3rd eyelids, like us with sunglasses.
but mate.. you'd 'know that?

Should I just Google that whole sentance? (Pardon my ignorance, nl*)

Over the years, I thought it was: harvest 'early' = relatively more THC vs other cannabinoids (not just cbd), supposedly resulting in clearer, cerebral high. Harvest 'late'= relatively more cannabinoids vs THC (including cbn, the cannabinoid that THC becomes after light exposure), resulting in a heavier, body high.
Now, that being said (search for other/older write ups, High Times, etc), I have never been able to experience the difference AS THEY DESCRIBE, because we believe those physical effects are Much more dependent on strain genetics! (Sative is the first one, Indica is the second)...and how 'early is defined vs 'late', is now being questioned in terms of overall THC content, which is More the longer it flowers! Look up discussions/new interpretations of milky vs amber trichomes, the science/data is the same as 40 years ago...The interpretation is now opposite! (Damn, I wish this helped...)
Our motto: Never had a complaint from flowering longer! (ie, 10 weeks+, up to as long as you can go before all the leaves yellow & fall off!)

Ok, Hyroot...I googled the first part & got your Spanish seed co.! Cannatonic strain, & Love their chart! Talk about variation from plant to plant! But amazing levels of cbd, still having close to 10% THC along with it in some cases! Thanks! Good luck with yours!
