you can't use a uv light alone, use it in conjujction with another type of lamp and don't run it constantly, only for a couple of hrs every day...

nodie , the lamp uv can be used only as a supplement to a MH,HPS,Envirolite or fluorescent lamp....you can't use it on a continuous basis and would be wise to wear sunglasses when u use it and are around there!

UVA is useless to plants, if you want to supplement your normal lighting with UV light use a UVB bulb, it causes the plant to produce more THC. http://www.hempfood.com/IHA/iha01201.html
