Why home growers start here
Don't let one patch of mildew take your tent
You put months into your plants. One white spot on a leaf can undo all of it. The Hobby is your first line of defence: a quick daily pass over the canopy kills powdery mildew spores before they spread — with no chemicals in your grow space and nothing on your buds at harvest.
“In the Pacific Northwest we are constantly battling mold and mildew. Once I added the CleanLight Hobby to my preventive measures, I haven't seen ANY signs of mold or mildew since — and I no longer worry about my crop testing for pesticides. Definitely worth the small investment!”

FAQ
CleanLight Hobby questions
Is 11W enough for my grow?
For a tent or small room with a handful of plants — yes. The Hobby runs about a third of the Pro's output, so plan roughly 15–30 seconds per area. Running multiple tents or a dedicated room? The Pro cuts treatment time to 5–10 seconds per plant.
How do I use it?
Let it warm up for about one minute, then sweep the light over your canopy once a day. Wear the included safety glasses during treatment.
When do I replace the bulb?
The Hobby lamp lasts 8,000 hours — replace every 2 years, because UV output fades before the lamp visibly fails. Replacement bulb →
Is it safe to use in flower?
Yes. CleanLight leaves zero residue, so it can be used from cuttings through post-harvest — including daily treatments in flower.
