I'm quite sure it will grow some fine cannabis.
I don't know whether the light itself has enough UVA in it to make a substantial difference.
I do know that this supplemental light will make a substantial difference.

HLG 30 UVA SUPPLEMENT

Waterproof 30 watt UVA LED BAR designed for 12 hr. cycle in a 4' x 4' or 5' x 5' space. Passive cooled, 24 inches in length with built in power supply. Bolt on installation for any HLG 550, HLG 600 Rspec®, HLG 650R, Scorpion® Rspec®, and Scorpion® Diablo.

Autos, run it 12 hours mid cycle and photos running 12 hours with your other lights during flower.

While it may not increase Cannabinoids, it definitely increases the Terpine's!
It will increase the production of anthocyanin, which creates the purple or reddish hues.

I notice zero difference in my plants with that light. No matter how much I run it or how close. I tried running it to intentionally stress the plants last run and still no noticable effect

A lot of it can be strained dependent whether you can see the difference or not.
Vidamints is a fine example!
In the first run I ran the light at the same light cycle as the main at 18/6. The purple got so dark it was almost black And the leaves were very thick.
In the second run I only ran it for 12 hours mid light cycle. The purpling was definitely less dark and remained very dark purple.
Rucu Cucu had very simular results. Very dark natural senescence on the girl under the UVA and a pronounced lighter color on the one with no UVA.

This last run I introduced the Mars supplemental UVA to my 3x3 tent, but it wasn't for the full run so I really can't make a conclusion.

I've had a pair of UVB fluorescent lights, but I really haven't used them consistently enough to draw any kind of conclusions whatsoever. At the time all I was hearing was five or 10 minutes every hour And I just didn't really feel like screwing with a timer to set that up. With the more smart plugs I bought I'm going to install at least one of them in the remaining tent that does not have any sort of UV, the 2x4 tent. I'm just going to run them in the beginning one hour mid cycle and then later flower 2 hours mid cycle.

What about color in your plants, have noticed anymore than usual on strains youve already grown in the past?

Nothing. And I've had it for a little while. Probably over a dozen different strains at least under it. But I grow in coco and my leaves don't normally change colors. But no difference in the plants 4in away from it and the plants in the corners
