    Default How to place uvb light with led ?

    Hi guys , I have an sf4000 led light . My question is how and where do you place the uvb bulb t5 . If I put it above the light it’s no use as the quantum board is under it

    You will have to place it at the side of the light, possibly changing its position every couple of days. Or just leave it in one place and see if you can tell if it's made a difference
    When you do things right, people wont be sure you've done anything at all.

    I just hang the UVB light near the board,the lights gonna get bounced around the tent anyway just don't use it too much as it can actually slow growth if overused.

    From everything I have read Scoot, UV does not get reflected. So it wouldn't bounce all over like regular light.

    Do you see a difference in using the reptile uvb rather than the Solacure or agromax etc

    I really couldn't say to be honest,I've been growing different strains all new to me,different nutrients,adding more light panels,changing tents,etc.etc.
