So far from ideal.
Reptile uvb light for plants.
This light is broken up into three different sections of different wavelengths.
With supplemental light bulbs that generate uvb radiation similar to natural uv light we can supply greater amounts of uv light to our plants for increased potency.
Plants will thrive under this light as well.
Uvb causes damage in plants in much the same way as it damages human skin and plants created defenses against uvb in the form of a protein called uvr8.
5 0 bulbs are designed to emulate moderate uvb levels such as those experienced by animals that.
That being said shade loving plants will still do ok under uvb t8 tubes plants needing lots of light may need t5ho tubes and spacing is important.
Uvr8 is a protein molecule which senses uv and then tells plant cells to change their behavior.
Uva 400nm 315nm uvb 315nm 280nm uvc 280nm 100nm.
Reptile lights are generally optimized for heat infrared not light for plants red and blue wavelengths primarily.
Ultraviolet light is a type of electromagnetic radiation that comes from natural sunlight.
Fluorescent uvb tubes for reptiles have very cool color temp.
Sun color temperature is between 3000 5600k depending on time of day and season.
And any plant light you pick will need to be very close to the plants just a few inches.
This bulb is suitable for snakes all amphibians frogs toads and salamanders and nocturnal animals.
Full shade is around 6000 6500kelvin.
10 podcast review of the book just enough by azby brown.
The marijuana plant produces more thc to compensate for high uv light exposure.
It is also a perfect complementary light to a uvb bulb to boost visual light.
