Why would you want to add supplemental UVA?UVA led sources are relatively common and cheap however the shorter wavelength devices are quite expensive. Of course, someone could put a phosphor on a COB that would emit in that range if they can get the proper energy stimulation source
I heard those UVC-wands come with freei dont even recommend the wands because people use them too much and in very unsafe manners.
It causes a bulge in a dna helix. If you get alpha or beta partical or even x rays mess you up pretty good ... Uvc is getting close to gamma and x rays.I heard those UVC-wands come with free
DNA-lesions & double-strand breaks ; )

If you need radiation to clean a pot grow...you need to rethink your pot grow hahaha.And lesions & double-strand breaks ; )

Actually.... adding UVA to a grow is linked to trichome-mutations and heritable pre-mutagenic DNA lesions.UVA light is linked to activating repair mechanisms.

UVA-induced DNA double-strand breaks result from the repair of clustered oxidative DNA damages

Co-exposure to the UVA-spectrum significantly diminishes the increase in trichome-density that you'd normally see from a dedicated high-output T5 UVB-setup.
While interesting, this does not apply to the plant kingdom. Nice try though. :)

The UVB exposure causes a certain amount of damage. UVA light is linked to activating repair mechanisms. I'm still looking for one other paper that described the UVA role better.
UV-C radiation has been used as a mutagenic agent in plants
Haha funny you say that. I built plasma reactors for lam research, PECVD is getting pretty damn insane with ALD replacing everything now. dont want to stand next to our gammas when they are running, you wont have any boys for the rest of your life! lolOne place I've watched photon technology move along that edge is in semiconductor manufacturing. We have been shrinking chip design features smaller and smaller until the minimum feature size couldn't be imaged with anything but very short wavelength 'Deep UV'. The wavelength of the light used in the lithographic process became the limiting factor for down-scaling in complex CPU device manufacturing. It also helps they have loads of cash to throw at the problem, the sources are quite expensive.
The trouble Intel has been having with 10nm process is no doubt a part of that replacement. I don't follow the journals like I used to do, I got hooked back when ram required 3 voltage sources to work. Folks don't know how much of technology is like being really, *really* good at spinning plates. It starts out kinda sketchy until you figure out the problems.Haha funny you say that.
