Cool thanks for all the input.
I think I will go with the cheap 'wand' for now. Like I said if it even makes the slightest difference it will be worth it for me, personally. Will report back if I notice significant differences.

Maybe used as a spot treatment if you see a contam pop up on your bulk sub . I know some people attempt the salt paste method to try and finish out a flush before tossing, and spraying a contam is a no no due to helping spread the spores.

The UV light destroys cell dna. if u use it a a growing sub or myc at any stage of growth i can bet u end up with a crap ton of mutants. Also the type of uv wand u r getting will also be exposing u to the uv so if its legal for them to sell without the light being in a double door selled enclosure than i highly doubt its of any use in mycology

Maybe close to the spot you radiated. If the sub is so contaminated that you're hitting the whole damn thing, then you should be tossing it out any way lol.
Putting one inside of a flow hood is brilliant though. Kind of like those UV water treatment things some hydroponics growers use, except passing the air through the UV instead of water.

no not just close to the spot u treat uv light has surface penetrating properties. also these cheap ass wands r useless. if they where useful at all every hospital in the nation would have them but they dont and u know why because they dont work. heres a link check it out. http://www.foxcarolina.com/story/24585360/upstate-hospitals-test-uv-light-sanitizing-wands If u want to sterilize with uv then u r talking thousands if not tens of thousands of dollarhttp://www.neobits.com/kerkau_f100ss_sterilization_cabinets_large_cabinet_p3420675.html?atc=gbp&gclid=CPKej6H7tsMCFZCIaQodkYkAxws do buy one like this
