Very nice nanook you got it sorted
I want to buy two of these Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 18W 24" lamps and buy 2 slim line T8 fittings then attach them to the tent poles in the corners

https://www.reptilecentre.com/zoo-med-r ... 008248.htm

i think im trying to run before i can walk tho on this canna stuff wen i have some free cash i might invest in some was hoping to win another light of invisible sun to further my intrest etc but after seeing what you have done with a ISH 150 im blown out the water game over
But hey good on you Respect for you have done
I read t-5 were more efficient than t-8 bulbs MrNice.

The Sunblaster are a bit cheaper shades than the Arcadia, but you still need to buy the uvb light for it, i suppose it works out about same tbh cus uvb light comes with arcadia models. .

Ok MrNice bit the bulet and has added some uv to his groom

Sunblaster T5 HO combo light
Zoo Med reptisun 10.0UVB T5 HO Uv lamp

Ok the fitting came with a 6500k lamp which i left in for now to boost some extra light through the canopy but once flower hits ill switch it to the UV lamp

Once the UV is on ill fire it up for 3 hours a day to mimic mid day sun thats the plan and rotate the plant every 24 hrs for equal Uv exposure
Also for the hours that the UV in on i wont be going in to the tent UV is very bad for us humans .

Later gr420

Lets see what i can fook up now.....LOL

Has the fitting got an aluminium reflector?
Apparently you only need the uvb for last 4 week of flower.

https://www.migrolight.com/product/migro-uvb-310/ just ordered one of these.
It will be interesting to see if it makes much difference.
I'll be using it for the first time with the Grower's Choice Wedding cake/Gelato.
Super excited
