Hello foljs. Ive been mulling over the idea of adding some UV leds to my 36 x citizen clu048 3000k & 3500k cobs since i got rid of my cdm gear, and would like to know what you guys think of the following leds.

My area is 2.4 x 1.2m
24 x clu048 1212 3500k
12 x clu048 1212 3000k
12 x epistar 3w far red diodes

Ive found the following UV leds

EPILEDS 10w -Ultra Violet 395nm: Forward Voltage: 10V-12V Forward Current: 700-1050mA Output: 70 lumens visible (mostly UV)

Epistar 5w -UV Ultra Violet 395nm: Forward Voltage: 3.6V-3.8V Maximum Current: 1400mA Output: 80 lumens

Would either of these be any good so that i dont have to mess around with reptile bulbs or those crazy uvb fluros ?

If so how many would be enough to stress them enough to see an increase in resin production ?

Ive been looking at the Exotic Supplimental Booster board on RapidLED which has 9 uva, and 9 IR leds on it, but its 90 dollars for 1 board ! Id rather build some shiz myself.

Hey did you read this thread?

I run the 365nm UVA diodes from steves led. I have 12 of them in a 4'x4' grow room. I also am running 12 of the HV 420nm from steves. They have been running for over a year so far. UVA diodes don't have a long life span. I do not like Epistar because of their design, less deficient and more heat than most other diodes. To be honest, I haven't noticed a major difference in my grows once these were added, no ill effects though either.
