I can't open up my hydro chamber when the hps or cfl is off because it will stunt the growth (hormones) but, is it true that using a green lightbulb will not effect the plants? I don't want to be the only person bathing in green light if I don't have to. lol

I don't think you would be. I bought one of those rope lights, the kind that you use for Christmas decorations. Its the 50' one so I can cover the room. Kinda lights it up, doesn't affect the plants. VV

I got some 100watt Green lights i use when i need to work on the plants when they are under darkness.

Lights up the room and the plants fine, i havnt noticed any side effects. They dont see / use it. So its all good.

I have these ones from AgroLite. Only well know in Europe as far as i know.

Correct, Green light is ok for night periods in your greenhouse. Considering that we see optimally in green light and plants dont use the green light it works out great, almost as if "god" did that on purpose.

hey...this is my first post and have never grown b4 but its a basic Bio class answer...
Red and Blue light are optimal for plants, while the green light is reflected off of the chlorophyll, therefore it is like there is no light in the room->no food->no growth
