It will explain the myths and truth of uv. Run them 2-4 hrs a day

@Osogreen my personal preference is to use small amounts of UVB through the entire grow. 1 hour a day through early veg. 2 hours a day from late veg through flower. Sometimes if I want to get a plant really purple I’ll do 4 hours UVB daily during flower with cold shocking. It dramatically increases potency but it can decrease yield if used too much so you have to find your balance for personal preference.

Why oh why did I have to find this thread?? How do I utilize this? Get a blurple light?
no, burple is not UVA, UVB. Go to amazon and look up UVA & UVB bulbs. You only run the a couple hrs a day but they really kick up the terps and that is where the flavor, potency and effects really matter…more than the THC / CBD

You know, I just love aggravating you. 
Just hang them down?
@kmac03 they have expensive UVB supplement lights from a lot of manufacturers but I just got two inexpensive 2’ 24 watt t5 fixtures and a two pack of the 2’ aggromax pure uv t5 bulbs and put them on a timer.
