Comparison Test- very interesting
Hi mate, if you are not already running a UV source such as CMH or fluorescent, we normally suggest the High Light UV boards.
Some growers prefer to run the High Red boards and then add fluorescent reptile bulbs such as Reptisun or Arcadia with 5-10% UVB. Other growers are already running CMH lights and we suggest running the High Red boards to supplement their lighting, as CMH already has a fair amount of UVA (and a very small amount of UVB), but usually needs the red boost that the High Red boards provide to increase yields.
However, a very interesting test has just been completed in the US using our High Light UV boards vs Quantum Boards with added UVB and UVA.
The test results are below and show four identical tents. One tent was a control using Quantum Boards and no supplemental UV. One tent ran Quantum Board 288s with added 6% UVB and 30% UVA Arcadia reptile fluorescent lighting, another tent ran Quantum Board 96s with the same 5% UVB/30% UVA, and finally one tent ran straight High Light UV boards with no added UV.
All the UV tents produced higher THC, CBD and terpenes than the control. But the surprising thing (not that surprising to us), was that the High Light UV boards not only beat the control by 20%, but beat the QB288s with added UV and were just behind the QB96s with added UV. The QB96s have added blue, which can also boost cannabinoids and terpenes (which is why CMH usually outperforms HPS).
Here are the results:
6 x QB96 Elite, 1 x 28 diode FR bar, 2 x 4’ T5 30% UVA & 6% UVB
Total THC: 19.8%
Total CBD: 0.7%
Total Terpenes: 4.7%
8 x QB288, 4 x QB35, 1 x 28 diode FR bar, 2 x 4’ T5 30% UVA & 6% UVB
Total THC: 18.7%
Total CBD: 0.63%
Total Terpenes: 5.0%
8 x High Light UV
Total THC: 19.1%
Total CBD: 0.64%
Total Terpenes: 4.8%
Control – 3'x3' room with 4 x QB96, 4 x rapidled FR pucks, NO UV
Total THC: 16.6%
Total CBD: 0.52%
Total Terpenes: 3.9%

Im only want to set up once if i can. I was gonna get shit light then keep upgrading but thanks to reza im gonna run double high light and just keep adding them on when money allows. I think if i do it right the first time i will save money in the long run AND HAVE BETTER BUDS TOO. Quality (not price) lasts longer. Anyway hope someone found those tests useful.

you will save $ in the long term for sure. But dont expect to get the first run done with no problems. It can take a couple runs to get the feel of it.

they may be gnatts, they may be something else. you need to tr to identify them. Otherwise treat for gnats and do a IPM.

Wen i started my seedlings off i found i had bulk amount of fungus gnats come outta no where.
Not saying this is wats going on with ur grow but could be a possibility. I used a pyrethrum spray as foliar spray an top layer of soil plus added small containers around the plants 3/4 full of apple cider vinegar with cpl drops of dish soap an gave it a stir once evry now an then.
Should already have a binding agent with or it or if it doesnt I dunno I just mix with water and away I go
This is the first year in 5 seasons I havnt used any neem in soil or as a spray tho
It should be real unless u wanna waste time and money
I just finished a grow with a qb light AND a cmh together like they done in the test
