I'll still have waay more than enough. Being a personal medical user with zero interest in selling, it just means a few less nugs in random birthday, xmas, or just for the hell of it gifts.
Every mistake is a learning opportunity.
Lessons learned: closer eye on plants, humidity, heat, and don't expect UV to keep me bud rot free.

Cut out two middle plants that had some nug rot, cranked the blues and uva to 11, and have the reptile lights going 6 of 12 hours.

The way I understood UV, it will go both ways, so for example it will lengthen the shelf life of pristine fruits, but immediatly spoil the ones with bruises.
I just gave a dose of 280nm to a plant and she changed color in 30min. 6h later she had developed 3 rot spots, which were definitely there waiting to blow up, since she had been in a non ventilated space a lot.
I think it will reduce molding on all non damaged crop, and increase molding/ issues on any damaged areas.
Beautiful work BTW, just discovered this thread, and will be following.

I think that lower lighting will become standard practice for me.

Are the popcorn areas filling themselves?
When testing sidelighting I had a cookies kush that responded very well with low light levels, so on the next round I grew a huge tree of Ice, and tried similar power levels with it. Ended up with a 6ft plant that had 4 feet of popcorn. Lots of edibles. I doubled the power of the sidelights for my current round and seems I'm avoiding the popcorn this time.

Okay. No more suffering with overheating. Air conditioners installed in the hobby room to control the temperature spikes. Next run will be fun.
