The use of short-wavelength ultraviolet C (UVC) light as a non-chemical pest control method in cannabis cultivation, damaging pest RNA to disrupt reproduction, communication, and survival without harming soil biology.
// From the Episode
GrandMaster Level (SPEAKER_08) discussed extensively. Claims 90-95% replacement for spraying, damages pest RNA making knockdown 10x easier with essential oils. UL certification limits UVC output due to human safety. Five minutes of UVC shown higher efficacy than predator bugs. Working with four universities on white papers. Thrip eradication in 8 days with 10 watts per 16-20 sq ft for 15 minutes daily. Light points upward so soil biology is unaffected.
