Green light bulb CFL? Help plz question about flowering

[tabi]

I just purchaced a green light bulb from my local hardware store. And am wondering if it will be ok to be on while my lights are off.

Basicly what I need to know is, can i have the green light on at the night times??

dude, i don't know. People say plant's don't see green because they reflect green light so we can see them as green. But then I think about purple buds..... Are the colorblind to purple?!?! I think green LED's use a very precise wavelength, something measured in nm. Curious to see what others think.

Seriously I want to know if my purple plants can see Green light. Since they are purple, (and not green), they don't reflect green!

 

[woodsmaneh!]

Don't know why you would do that but my feeling is no. A green light is for when you have to. IMHO

 

[bunnyface]

Hey,,
Im not entirly sure but if you break the spectrum down purple is a combinaton of colours isnt it? so they(the purple ones) are reflecting more than just green but also alot of blue..and red, i think, im not to sure though.

A green light will not effect your plants. I do not know the logic behind, it but I have a green LED flashlight, for when I need to see my plants during the dark hours.
Im not sure why you want to leave a light on, but I wouldnt recommend it.

Why cant you just leave the light off and let it sleep.
Dont fuck with mother nature Lol.

Sure, go ahead. youll be perfectly fine, ive used a green party bulb lots of times and no problems and i know alot of other growers on here who have too.

 

[darkdestruction420]

green spectrum light is not absorbed by the plants, it bounces off, which is why they look green to us. thats how it works out.

fuck that!!! strict 12/12 no light leaks. you can use green bulbs for maintenance now and again but thats it tbh if your obsessed with looking at your plants while their sleeping your doing all wrong in my opinion? how would you like somebody shining a stupid colour light in your face at 3am?

wow, you really dont understand what your talking about. I and others on here have done it for years, ive never ever had any problems with it and nor does any of the others i know. so how exactly are we doing wrong? because it goes against what you think of as correct? the shining the light on the face part is totally irrelevent.

 

[cannabutt]

can you read what i said dd420?

"strict 12/12 no light leaks. you can use green bulbs for maintenance"

*yawn

 

[darkdestruction420]

i was a bit harsh on you, im sorry. I did notice that part, but for some reason i misunderstood what you meant by it the first time i read it.

 

[cannabutt]

no problem dd420

 

[PurpleRhinoceros]

hey guys, but what about the plants that look purple to us? They reflect purple or violet light right?!?

Also don't purple fan leaves absorb green light?

 

[stickybob]

i thought red led headtorches were optimum, only .5 w bulbs, like infra red

 

[PurpleRhinoceros]

ugh, sticky bob. We are looking for the opposite of optimum. Lights that DONT effect the plant. But thanks for the bumpage

Hah, edit: I didn't understand YOUR post. No biggie. But I can't find a source on using red LED head torches for plants. I have seen the green ones for plants sold at my local hyghdro store

 

[tabi]

Well thank you all for your input!

Reason for me needing to check up on my babies is to control the RH. Closet grow and i close the door for the light out period. That causes a boost in RH, so then i need to open the door at night times...


THANKS AGAIN ALL +reps!

green light are fine I dont tryst the party light because the they're just painted green and that scratches off easy. I would use green LED light sold at specific purpose stores. I think I read a post by subcool saying he uses green light during that dark period a lot. And I know for sure I read a article in high times about growers using green light to work in the dark.

A lot of people need to use green light because their lights are set to come on at night time or when they are asleep. To work in the room during day time or lights off then they would need a green light. Or to spray pesticides which is best done at lights off.

Now I dont know exactly how or why it works but it does. If anyone could enlighten us with anything except because plants are green I would appreciate it.
