Anyone use UVB bulbs during flowering?

[FrayedKnott]

I've been reading elsewhere that supplementing the light during flowering with uvb bulbs will increase trichromes.

Here are a couple of links to that effect;

I was considering using several repti-glo 10.0 cfls

or
a Mega-Ray® EB 60 watt Flood UVB Lamp Kit

to supplement my 600w hps.

has anyone heard of this or tried it? if so, how did it work out?

Thanks!

HI,

There's a TON of info on UVB and marijuana on MP... I found all of this with a Google 'Advanced Search' using the 'search within a site or domain' feature for "UVB" within "marijuanapassion.com"

If you want a more scientific approach, this is an interesting thread at CW that growers discuss and test the output of several different types of UVB lamps:
