I am in the sixth week of flowering. I have three plants in a 3x3 tent with a Mars Hydro TSW2000 and a BAVA 240 with separate switches for UV,IR,etc.
The 3 plants are a OG Kush, Gorilla Glue #4, and Girl Scout Cookies. I am trying to determine when to turn on the UVA 385nm. All things being equal, the OG Kush
is further along than the other plants. I am simply going by pistil color. When is the best time to introduce the plants to UVA. Sixth week, seventh week .etc.? How many hours exposure per day ? There are 12 LG 385nm leds in the BAVA. Any help appreciated.
 
I am using AgroMax UVA Plus 10,000K t5 48" florescent bulbs 2 of them in a 4 x 6 space, about 50 watts each. It is probably a lot more than the leds puts out? I run them the last 3 weeks of flower for the entire lights on timeframe 18/6 in my auto grows or 12/12 on photos. My terpene profiles exploded when I started using these lights. I also run 1 AgroMax Pure UV t5 48" - 75% UVB 25% UVA the last 2 weeks of the grow for 2 hours mid day. This pumps up the THC. You need to be in the States to purchase AgroMax as they do not ship elsewhere.

Growing with TSW2000, for your reference:

Recommended Hanging Distance Above Plants
Seedling: 30'' Germination: 24''-30'' Veg: 18''-24'' Flower: 12''-18''

Recommended Lighting Time
Veg: 18/6(on/off) or 20/4(on/off) Flower: 12/12(on/off)

Are you suggesting that autoflowers should be grown with 12/12 lighting during flowering ?
