A type of ultraviolet radiation with a wavelength range of 100-280 nanometers, making it the most intense and high-energy form of UV light. UVC light is highly effective for sterilization and disinfection, as it can kill bacteria, viruses, and mold spores by breaking down their DNA or RNA. However, due to its intensity, UVC is not typically used directly on cannabis plants since it can damage plant tissues. Instead, UVC is often used in grow rooms to sterilize surfaces, tools, and air, preventing the spread of pathogens and pests.
