Sterilization UV Light ?
    #23983604 - 01/05/17 10:57 AM (7 years, 1 month ago)

Hi,
I want to know if UV light is good for sterilization the area or some tools you need for cultivation ?

And can we use UV light on top of the terrarium for fruiting ?

Thank you

I heard UV light can be harmful to the body if not properly placed I can only imagine what it would do to a tub. I was looking into a UV light for a small room to keep microbes at bay but that would be overkill think about that in a much smaller scale.

You could place a few tools in a PC while doing grain. Then transfer under a hood to sterile storage. Other than that bleach and alcohol were my clean freaks

I wouldn't come to rely on them for sterilization of any kind; on the few occasions I've read about on the Shroomery where someone went to the trouble of getting them, they were hardly effective, and in some cases worsened the contamination rate.. Flame sterilizing is about as easy as it gets.

As for UV lighting on top of a terrarium, it tends to introduce mutations into the grow, as detailed here.
