UV-C used to sanitize?
      01/27/15 02:43 PM

I see a ton of products on amazon that could potentially be useful. All seem to use UV-C to kill germs/mold/etc claiming 99.9% death.

It seems people hate the whole UV discussion almost as much as buying grow kits here. But i wonder about uses: 1. sterilizing equipment/ grow room before everything 2. sterilizing  substrates- verm, BRF, grain, agar, etc before innoc. 3. sterilizing AFTER noc'd (assuming no, as it would kill spores too?) 4. once a jar/bag is contam'd, UV the shit out of it and the surrounding area, and possibly salvage, or just before throwing away

One product i'm looking at is basically a handheld 'wand' you can hold over things for however long to sanitize. Another product is for toothbrushes and dentures, you place something (conveniently petri-dish sized:cool:)inside a small machine and it closes and sterilizes it.

There are also those 'air purifier' fan/stands. I am wary of these, it seems like bullshit. But there is a reasonably cheap version that uses UV-C to sanitize.

Is it all bullshit? is UV-C not strong enough/ won't kill the right things? Could it even be used after inoculation or would it- i assume- kill mycelium/spores? These things are super cheap, I could easily get all 3 products i described for about $80, and that seems like a small price to pay for a clean room and clean jars without using the inefficient, god forsaken pressure cooker

Salicyclic acid - Antibacterial, speeds growth?, nutrients?
