We conducted a test in partnership with Dutch Passion seeds and there was a 19% increase in Terpenes recorded with one strain using the MIGRO UVB 310 at the flowering stage. See the results in our Blog post here.

UV LEDs do not yet have the power to deliver the UVB intensity required to effect your harvest quality in a cost effective way. Fluorescent fixtures with special glass tubes and raw aluminium reflectors are required to deliver high UVB intensity efficiently.

To help prevent pest and disease it is recommended using the UV grow light right through the grow cycle. It will help prevent the occurrence of mildew, mould and will help eliminate pests.

It is broken up into three different categories of wavelengths - UVA, UVB, and UVC. It helps plants grow in several ways and also may improve the overall potency and quality of your flower. But, only certain types of UV light are really beneficial to plants.

To increase the production of secondary metabolites we recommend using the UV grow light for up to 2 hours per light cycle in the last three weeks of flowering. It is sufficient to dose the plants for short periods to stimulate increased oil production.

With a high efficiency system light the MIGRO UVB 310 we recommend 1-2 watts of UV light per square foot of growing space. This means for a 4'x4' tent, for example, you require around 16 - 32 watts of UV lighting to yield the benefits.

The MIGRO UVB 310 delivers 75% UVB and 25% UVA in its spectrum output. A perfect blend to improve the production of secondary metabolites such as flavonoids and terpenes which improve the quality and taste of your medicinal herbs.

While UV light may not be harmful to your plants it can be to you in the form of sunburn. We recommend you do not work underneath the UV light when powered on. If you have to work near the UV light when on please protect your eyes by wearing protective eyewear. We also recommend wearing sleeves and gloves if you are going to be working around your UV grow lights for more than a few minutes.

Studies have shown that UVA and UVB light can increase resins and oils in the form of secondary metabolites. In particular UVB can enhance the production of terpenes and flavonoids in plants. This means your flower will smell and taste better.

There is a tendency to rely on digital cameras’ built-in meter, and while they are far more accurate than they used to be, many photographers could still benefit from the increased accuracy and reliability of using a dedicated light meter. Sekonik is the de-facto name associated with accurate light metering and we provide a comprehensive range of their products, including grey cards and profile targets. Read the guide to using a light meter on the Exposure Guide website, which will help understand the basics if you are just starting out.

A camera light meter provides an exact exposure measurement, informing the photographer of precisely what shutter speed and aperture they should use for any given scene. Employed by studio, portrait, product and fashion photographers, many beginners and enthusiasts are missing out on this essential piece of hand-held equipment. They are crucial for some, yet are often forgotten for others shooting digitally, but can make the difference between a professional looking or average image.

Whether checking ambient or flashgun light, inside a studio or outdoors in natural light, whether using incident or reflected metering, there is a wide selection of light meters available at Park Cameras for photographers of any experience level.

Often referred to as UV light for short, ultraviolet light is technically a part of the  electromagnetic radiation present in natural sunlight. Every time you are out in the sun, you are exposed to UV light.

UVC gets filtered out by the ozone layer, and never really makes it to the earths surface or to our outdoor plants. UVC is extremely dangerous to life and will damage cells causing living organisms to die under high exposure and can cause cancer.

Plants have different responses to UV light depending on the type and wavelength. The response also varies depending on the species of the plant.

UV grow lights emitting UVB increase production of secondary metabolites by up to 40%. Secondary metabolites in the form of Flavonoids and Terpenes to improve taste and smell of your harvest. The entourage effect is Flavonoids and Terpenes act synergistically with THC to increase the overall psychoactive effects of the plant.

UV grow lights that output UVA increase cell wall thickness and health, making the plant more resilient against pests, mold, and mildew.

For studio photography light meters are essential as they guide photographers as to which settings their cameras and studio lights should be at. However many outdoor photographers also use a light meter to gauge fast changing scenes, capture accurate white balance and expose for the highlights. Meters are ideal when using a filter system such as LEE as the bright sky and dark ground can be independently metered, helping to decide on which ND graduated filter which will be required.

A light meter offers a reading based on grey point, which is how an internal camera meter also works.It will not only provide the correct exposure, but also save time as photographer will get the exposure correct the first time rather than through trial and error.

UVB light has the ability to destroy harmful microorganisms, particularly when the wavelengths are shorter than 300 nm. Not only that, but UV light can increase your plants resistance to mildew, bacteria, insects, and fungi.

The next type of ultraviolet light is UVB with wavelengths between 280 nm and 320 nm. It contains about a fifth of 1% of overall natural sunlight. In contrast to UVA, it can damage DNA and has been known to have cancerous effects on humans and animals.

Ultraviolet A, or UVA light, is light with wavelengths between 320 nm and 400 nm. It contains about 3% of the photons that are found in natural sunlight when it breaks through the earth’s atmosphere. It does not have any harmful effects on DNA.

Growers notice an increased resistance to pests and disease when supplementing with UVA and UVB spectrums. Plants can produce up to 15 different variant defence proteins when they are exposed to UV light.
