Your Grandpa's Weed or is UV supplementation really needed?

Safe hours are anytime within 45 min - 1 hour window after sunrise or anytime within the 45 min - 1 hr window before sunset. To determine the timings of sunrise or sunset, you can check the local newspaper, which also lists the UV Index as 0 during these times

I'm certainly no expert on the subject of early triche production but given the anecdotal evidence of triches being present under all types of light, I would think it has more to do with strain and yes maybe spectral differences than one light source. RM have you actually seen a strain that has shown early triche production under UV not show it under non UV sources? Seems to me (and I could be wrong) that your earlier strains from years ago had early triche production before you actually ran a specific UV source. I can honestly say I do get better crystal formation running the same strain outdoors than in but I typically run HID with the odd grow having supplemental T5's with different spectrums. With so many variables outdoors it's hard to draw a conclusion of any kind. I also read a thread which stated you had moved away from maintaining a higher canopy temp than you previously ran. Is this true and what were/are the results if you have?

I'll try and find the thread, and yes I was surprised to read it, I may have misunderstood. So just to clarify, you have seen early triches on ones where there were none before adding UV?
I love you, Bud, I don't mean to come off condescending or otherwise patronizing, but RM3's been growing since the late '60s, early '70s and has experimented very vehemently and documented clearly. Like, he tests everything, and is someone I'd trust to be free from bias. I dunno the conversation between you two, and I know you're hesitant to hear what I have to say, but RM3's completely lucid and fair in his observations. He doesn't even follow current mainstream doctrine, has used outlandish fringe techniques, and those who have visited him have verified that his shit is unlike any weed today, and will likely put you on your ass quicker than pretty much any strain you can grab today.

WTF are you talking about??? I was asking a legitimate question, I'm curious is all. Why are you defending something that doesn't need defending? Did I question his strains? Did I question his ability? I'm thinking you just like to see yourself in print!! Fuck!!!
