There is also some indication that some early exposure can be helpful so I personally, i.e. this is not the recommendation of CLW) recommend you run them a few days or so when the buds are in the early heavy growth phase and then continually during ripening, because UVB may have a trigger type effect.
I personally have actually run much higher levels of UVB (60 watts mercury vapor UVB lamps, danger, danger Will Robinson!) than provided with the SS440 in an HPS grow all the way through a 10 week cycle with no (at least obvious) deleterious effects. UVB levels in the tropical sun are MUCH higher. I think some experimentation is certainly welcome and safe at the levels provided with the SS440 UVB lamps. IMHO..
