New Grower UVB light

315 to 400nm is UVA. UVB has been shown to stimulate resin and cbd production and protect plants from insects.mold and fungus but true uvb diodes are very expensive ($122 for a 1/4 watt diode) mercury arc tubes and sunlight contain a small amount of UVB and at low levels (>%3) are beneficial thru the entire grow http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet and also see http://www.plantphysiol.org/content/160/1/145 a VERY SMALL reptile light would would be beneficial thru the entire grow.MH and fluorescent lights contain a small amount of UVB so supplemental UVB lighting would not be useful with these lights

Ahh, my bad I thought I had memorized it. I meant 280-315nm.

They said they can put those on there and charged $1.2 each. Oh well, at least the other spectrums should be good for growth. Thanks for clearing that up! :thumbs:
