I read somewhere that ultra violet lights can be used for lighting. I was going to use an old fish tank light, but I was unable to find it. I cam across a hand-held black-light (ultra violet). It is not very strong (aprox 6" long), but I was wondering would this work for a light substitution? If not, any advice would be great. Thanks.

I think that I read somewhere that UV lights break down Psilocybin and Psilocin, so it won't be any good for growing cubies. But I might be wrong. |

Another thing that seems to be a problem with using a black light is that it produced albinos after a few generations. I think I read this off of PF’s site a while back. Albino shrooms have genetic mutations and shouldn’t be propagated is what I’ve read. |

correct,
don't use blacklights as they cause harmful mutations over time.
use any thing but blacklights.

If they maid fluorescent bulbs that fit into a 6" light, would that be any good for growing or would it not be strong enough to actually be beneficial to initiate pinning and what not? |

One good use for the back light I read some where is that it kills a lot of bacira how much? i do not remimber but you could use it in your glove box or in the genral inoculating area

Those handheld blacklights are for health inspectors to use to check for rodent piss. |

sprout,
a blacklight like you get at the store won't kill bacteria,
what you need for a glovebox is
a much more high-powered shortwave UV light,
which is not safe to expose yourself to,
unlike blacklights which are toys.

heh,my paranoid ass went ALL over the box I got from PF with a black light AND a magnifying glass when I got my order as I read he had his bust!!
it seemed clean of all markings though, I love the crime that gives me the most pleasure!!!
Reality is for people that cant handle drugs.
