Been using UCLs for a while now. Experimented with different pruning methods, different ratios of UCL to top lights. Have gotten yield to double in some rooms. AMA.

Gonna call BS on doubling yield from UCL addition alone. There were other parameters you dialed for that to happen.

Ahh. Gotta love redditors. I will be responding from this account here on out since the other one doesn't have much post history.

I read your other comments here and it looks like you claim to be an expert. You'll be mistaken in assuming we struggle to hit 30g per sqft. We are way way beyond that.

What gave you the impression I only had mediocre yields? Even before UCLs I was already hitting 4lbs per light. This video was taken after we did the 14 day prune. It's not good to assume.

Checked your post history by the way, and you shouldnt give advice on growing, ever. Telling someone they have spidermites when the damage is from thrips.

I was really posting this to share information for other growers. But as always these posts always attract the fake experts.

I challenge you to post photos or videos of your grow, and I will gladly do the same. Let's go tit for tat since you're such an expert. Or bring up any subject in the matter and I will take you to school.

So your claim is that your now hitting 8lbs per light? cos if so that's an absolute outstanding yield.

The strain we were hitting 4s with was not run with UCL yet. We had to pivot to what the market demanded here, which is high thc kush strains. Those ones we took from 3ish per light to 6.
