Certain types of UV have been shown to be detrimental to spider mites.Reading about uvr8 was what made me start to look into uv. I first heard about the protein on some video recording of some canna related talk on youtube. It was just something that was mentioned as a sidenote but raised my curiosity. They even mentioned increase in some sesquiterpenes with uv supplementation.
So i guess apparently nasa isnt good enough, but we need a consensus on some internet forum for kinggrow1. Nevermind the fact folks over and over seem to have been using inadequate amounts, in addition to having countless other potential issues in any given garden.
Now you have one member whose seeing value in adding uv to a know plant, yet you are totally willing to dismiss it.
Edit: not to mention if running another 60 watts for a 3-6 hours a day for a small grow like mine is going to make life difficult for any potential bugs or molds, its worth a shot.
