How’s upping the uv time going?
2nd or 3rd day now of straight 1hr uv. Fixture was @ 15" above, they've grown into in abit now @ 12".
They seem healthy and praying, i can see the stress the uv produces and how they respond. slight sunburn symptoms/ no slowing of growth yet...and maybe a little mag def..looks like getting bit heavy on the nitrogen possibly
It's interesting when the uv comes on, the plants react immediately, so I know they've receiving uv, they immediately start stinking, then when the uv goes off, the smell fades abit. I wanna make sure i dont give them too much too early... containing myself is not easy too do ...

Day 9 into 12/12 , defol cleanup n some tent cleaning.
UV still simmering at one hour straight and i've returned to 12" above canopy/ petentration seems more uniform and they seem to take this amount without issues...Ive adjusted the time to add 15min and check in 2 days
I defol'd heavy like this 2 runs back,(diff strain) and they just grew sticks of bud, my prefered method now, so I'm attempting this technique again ....(ofcourse i got this from or gro)...it seems so much easier during flower to maintain then the scrog i did 1st the run but much better airflow.
edit: DWC also seems so much easier for me btw too, coco was a btch to keep them happy.

Thx man, it's been an easy run so far, fingers crossed...the added UV is a fun experiment. I can't wait untill someone gets a nice uv led strip(s) available
