Blacklight flashlight to detect contams * 1
    #26942242 - 09/18/20 11:04 AM (3 years, 4 months ago)

In my experience, it works with some contams. I eliminated one jar and one small sub-shoebox with it. They each smelled a tiny bit, according to my friend who can smell, I can't really smell well.

But the view under this light was striking.

My roommate has one of those cheapo UV black light flashlights he got at Spencer Gifts a long time ago I borrow it to check for contams, try it on your grow at different phases, do it in the dark.

Some contams glow a bit orange or green under a cheapo UV light.

Mycelium is basically off white under this light and doesn't glow much. It looks a little dull purple like the visible color of the flashlight.

Rice looks a little green, but not bright.

I searched for UV light on here, all I saw was stuff about decontamination, and about making mutations, but nothing about just checking for contams.

Don't look into the light, and don't use it when you don't need to, but it's a lot safer than powerful UV lights of different wavelengths. I supposed you could also get UV protection lights if you were worried about it.

Tripping hard, can't write well right now, will fix this up later.
