Black lights??? You mean UV lights? If so then these are the wrong spectrum for your plants. Ideally you need to veg with Fluros or a Metal Halide lamp. The plant uses the blue spectrum from these lights more in veg. For fllowering you'll want an HPS (high pressure sodium) these have more of a red spectrum which the plant needs for flowering. Black lights are a good addition to these types of lighting as they add another part of the light spectrum to your grow. Correct me if im wrong.

Yeah jay your right, I read that black lights produce only one spectrum of light which is not enough for a plant to grow properly in all aspects of it's growth, i think sammy was probibly getting other light from somewhere other than a lamp while also using blacklights :roll:
