Effectiveness of uvc lights & contamination
    #27298452 - 05/07/21 10:09 AM (2 years, 9 months ago)

Does anybody have any thing to say about the effectiveness of uvc lights when sterilising their work area to prevent contamination?

Pointless in this hobby since even if you could sterilize the room you're going to have a lot of trouble sterilizing yourself. You're a walking biome of nasty shit and nothing can change that so it's futile to try and sterilize a work area.

i can't say if it works in our hobby, but what I can say is I have tried one. I had some mold by the tub and toilet it was black. I followed the instructions giving and it did lighten up the mold, but did not kill it imho.

Some commercial flowhoods have one that you keep on when the hood is not being used to keep the work area and filter face sterile in between use.

It can be used to keep hard flat surfaces "clean" when you are not around, but not good for grow rooms or where there are cultures present.

And then of course the legends of using some kind of blacklight or other uv light to purposefully mutate cultures...

I use blacklight bulbs in my bug attractor in my growroom though they are not very highpowered.
