Black Lights

HMM well i noticed some mod deleted the threads about black lights. Have they even tried this technique themselves? No. They read in a book it doesnt work and thats that for them. Its always the same in the scientific community. :mad:

Ive been growing houseplants with the aid of blacklights for years and have found that they produce some interesting results. In the future i want to see how they will effect cannabis, too. I dont care if your book says it doesnt work because I see that it can.

I'd like to continue my experiments without the interferance of censorship.

Plus i am interested in observing the effects of alternative lighting techniques (i.e. plasma) and if any one would like to contribute it would be most interesting.
In fact i have purchased some black lights especially for these experiments and i plan on buying some more. So plz dont delete this thread just because you dont believe it won't work..without even trying it! That is just not cool.

Black lights illuminate phosphorus. The reason why a white tee shirt glows is because laundry detergent is made with phosphorus. If you wash the phosphorus out it will not glow. Good for finding fungus on plants as well. I have thought about this before and am interested in what you will discover.

you ought to look a little closer. we have removed no 'black light' threads and wouldn't remove anything we disagree with anyway. instead we do our best to save y'all time and grief by sharing our many years of experience with you...and if you'd search at the other grow sites for "black lights" you will see we really do know what we're talking about when it comes to using them in a grow room. here's just one example from a well respected grow site...

there are many more and they ALL say the same thing...

uh oh srry how embarassing lol del rules
oi and thanks karma too :)

well i will still continue with the experiments, since ive seen regular houseplants morph into some amazing growth patterns under black lights..and they turn this unearthly green color..

Save your money Euphoric, Blacklight only gives off UV-A.
Cannabis responds very nicely to lots of UV-B :thumbsup: IME.

wHAts Uv-b

This explains UV very nicely

Interesting..thanks alch :thumbsup:

it says that the sun emits uv-a radiation that reaches the surface of earth... which couldbe used by plants possibly?

its interesting that site said that the ultraviolet radiation messes with DNA. :D

no... you cannot. Black Light, by definition, has the improper spectrum of light to successfully grow a plant.

yea..its impossible..
