finding it hard to get home in time to feed my babies bout 3 weeks from harvest now and i dont wanna change the timer becuase of police and the neighbours, but the room im growing in has a 40w light bulb, so if i use that for light after my 3 600watt hps's have gone out so i can feed them , will this interfere with the plants cycle or have any damaging effects??

I have heard that green light is acceptable but cannot confirm this. Maybe a 40w green light bulb? FDD, have you heard of this?

I use the light on my cell phone for light. Not many lumens.

hmmm, now im rly stuck lol would be pretty hard to feed em with the light on my phone altho it seems like the best option right now, the way im thinkin is street lights car lights ect, dnt harm general plants outside, so i thought they shouldnt be bothered with a measly 40w bulb , hopefully someone can answer within the next day or my ass is gunna be twitching every time i go to feed them fater work :spew:

The moon is out many a night. Some nights are really bright out in the middle of nature.

WHAT IF YOU HAVE THAT GREEN LIGHT ON FOR MORE THAN 5 MINUTES DURING DARKNESSS? NO IT WILL NOT EFFECT IT. TRUST ME. I GREW MENY TIMES AND I WOULD ALLWAYS GO IN THE GROW ROOM DURING DARKNESS WITH 80 WATT REGULAR LIGHT BULB ON AND IT DIDNT DO ANY EFFECT.
NO TURNING TO HERMIE OR NOTHING.:peace: HOPEFULLY THIS IS WHAT YOU WERE LOOKIN FOR. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE SOME PICS OF YOUR LADIES.

If the light from your phone wont cut it. Go to music store or somewhere you can get the colored film that goes on stage lights and get green. Tape it over your flashlight and you should be good to go. Still don't aim directly at plants.

^^^yes most definately green light is fine(I wouldn't chance the 45wttr u got).....but not the kind where you see the element, try to get ceramic coated or painted and you'll have no problems......

...and at HD(if that's all you can get to) get the Alaska® Morbloom Fertilizer 0-10-10----not the kind with N..... I 've always used this outdoors with success and even inside when in a pinch.

Remember your flush.........

Great Luck!!
