Light doesnt penetrate sealed tight buds...you may kill surface PM but that would be it. Whole new panic button word was created from the concept out of all this Covid shit...Surfacide...for killing surface contamination

Yea, I guess it wouldn't work the way I was hoping it might.

If you had it going from start to finish i bet that would be a great combo. Then the PM was killed by the time the nugs close up.

So running some uvc while flowering, and then maybe a lil in the dying tent for preventative while drying?

The whole time from early/mid veg all the way to end of flower. Then theoretically you'll not need it in drying, cuz no PM survived to fk up the nugs while in drying conditions.
Idk enough about using UVC in supplemental, maybe pulsing just to kill shit is good enough instead of being exposed entire lights on time idk.

You want to keep any UV away from flower after chop. UVC not good for terps / cannabinoids.. or anything else for that matter outside of sterilizing. If using UVC to sterilize incoming air,. only way to do it safely is a duct setup where air passes over UVC similar to hospital setups.. so can be done but is it worth it?

can't answer for something I haven't used personally but seems logical. I think there's more to it though like inline hepa's and certain airflow requirements. Just hepa's should remove spores though. could be wrong
