Are there really strains with 30% thc?

Everyone I know, or what I have read on these pure uvb bulbs, is that you cannot run them on the same schedule as your main lights. These are meant to be used as supplemental lighting for one hour max. 15 minutes at a time, 4 times a day.

I've read all that.

I started with the 10k+25%uva. I ran it the whole time. I then went to the pure UV. I didn't have any problems with it.

It could be strain to. Rm3 said some were burning and some were not.

I will change my advice to us it sparingly. Be careful. It worked for me but I sure don't want anybody to try their plants.

I spend time in the new and help sections helping diagnosing problems.

I sure don't wish ill on anyone's grow. I want fire for everyone.

You sound like a good dude. Sorry about jumping all over you but it really sucks trying to get this right when the manufacturer can't even help me with a lighting schedule. Keep it green brother.

Its cool. I get it. There is a lot of myth and bs on this site and it surely don't help when the manufacturer can't help.

I would try it on older plants. Start with new ones with like 15 min a hour.

Its like how if you starts plant indoors and move it out in the sun it will fry. Start that same seed outside and its fine.

It wasn't all easy peasy with the bulb. I had to moniter them and move theights up and down.

@Psyphish Trich's can be deceiving, but within a particular strain, the more frost, the more "potent".

Come on man, you can't post up some fire and not mention what it is. :bigjoint:

According to everything I have read and what the manufactures of these bulbs say, is that UVB inhibits the growth of green plants. These bulbs are meant to be used sparingly. These are not like other UVB lights, like the reptilian lights (very weak in uvb). Look at what it says here under "how does uvb exposure affect plants and animals."

So... are there really any strains with 30% thc? Would a plant like that be insanely frosty, or would the appearance completely throw you off? I've heard CBD rich phenos sometimes have a lot of trichomes but lack the strong high.

ps. pls stop fighting, you're wasting eachother's time lol.

Thats super nice!!! Have you had a chance to get a potency test?

Did I miss you mention the name of the strain? Buds look awesome.

This is correct, if you run your UV lights too much they will not only burn your plants but degrade THC(amber your trics early) , why do you think the pics of @RM3 's buds are completely amber, too much UV light fried his trics.

That would be incorrect, perhaps you should do a bit of research
