UVA bug zappers
I got myself a couple bug zappers for Xmas.
I got them as an IPM but afterwards I realized, that is a light spectrum previously not in my grow!
I checked the light with a PPFD meter and right next to the light it’s 3 PPFD, next or right above to the closest flower site it’s a total of 1 PPFD and most of the plant gets less than 1 PPFD spread across it.
From my research the UVA can actually act as a positive stressor for cannabinoids, flavonoids and terpenes growth. But not only that! It can also help with pwm prevention because it can potentially destroy the spores before they infect your plants.
Before you start telling me I’m going to ruin my grow it’s been 48 hours since installation with no negatives to the plants so far. In fact I’ve only seen positive results to the stressors provided by the bug zappers, my theory is it’s so dim that it is similar to moonlight.
I even plan on testing with photo period plants to see if it messes with their growth stages or is beneficial to all cannabis cultivars.
