Hi. My friend's got an UV CFL. The problem is we can't tell what type is it exactly - UVA, UVB or UVC. That being said - would be a good idea to put in my grow room to stimulate trichome growth ? What are the risks of using the wrong type of UV?

thanks for the answer but Im not looking to buy a UV lamp - I was asking if the one I have will do the job.

edit: all it says on its is BLB (which I guess stands for Blacklight Blue) Ok so after I learned (today) that this is a blacklight I did some further reading and turns out blacklights are not good for plants.
