Using Green Light to navigate around your plants during Flowering.

Hell All.

I felt I should post this in case some of you are in the same situation my wife and I are in. We live in a 2 bedroom town house and devoted the 2nd bedroom closet to our grow area... Actually the whole room is the "Girls Room" but we leave the closet open for ventilation purposes. We are perfectly set up for 12/12 uninterrupted darkness. However, there are things in the "Girls Room" that we need access to during the day. We have the lights off during the day because there's been an early east coast summer heat wave and the heat and humidity are BRUTAL.

So, we are fully aware that the girls don't respond to Green Light at all -- it's the only part of the spectrum they don't use, that's why they are green. SO since they dont recognize it we figured switching out our regular standard incandescent light bulbs that we use to just illuminate the room normally with 13 Watt Green CFL's would allow us to have light while we need to navigate in their room during the darkness period. I am almost POSITIVE that these Green CFL's dont give off any other spectrum but the GREEN part so I don't think we are going to give them light stress or risk turning them male or hermi.

I haven't found out any scientific information or proof that this will turn the plants male or hermi. So, i'm pretty sure we got a fool proof way to let us do what we have to do in that room and not disturb our girls!

If anyone has any positive proof that we are wrong, please post it here and let us know. THANKS!!

id like to know if anyone has any info on this, so heres a bump for your thread

can anyone explain what this mean i was looking it up but i cant make anything from this technical mumbo jumbo

Thanks for the bump man! I appreciate it. I read that link and yeah there was alot of crazy shit I couldn't understand but all I know is my girls are still girls and progressing pistils day after day reassure me that green is good!! Best of luck in your grows.

So can we just leave the green cfl's on the whole flowering cycle? Or should they be used only when we need to?

I am using CFL lights of Blue spectrum , of 400 watts,
I am hearing of the green specturm for the first time, its intensity will be very less for the growth of the plants..
If you ahve got experienced, just i am waiting for your result.

I am skeptical on whether the green party lights work. They are just green glass. I believe only green leds are safe and I got a few green led flashlights from deal extreme. Even so, I use them as little as possible.

Yeah I have a green cfl in my cieling fan In the room, and I've used it a few tims, for a few brief moments only, and had no bad results... BUT, I don't use it anymore cuz its bright as hell and it scares me cuz I've heard plants still absorb a part of the green spectrum and that green led lights are the "true" spectrum you need. So now I use a green led.

wow... where did you hear this? where can i buy one? lol... i would love to be able to just leave a green light on day and night during flowering, that way i can actually mount them IN the walls and out of the way

if you are thinking about getting something in the green spetrum you should try this, i have not tried it before lol

Green light or at least those green cfl 13 watt party bulbs does nothing to flowering plants. Lets put it this way, I've left the green on in the girl's room for probably a whole week without knowing because it was some time before visiting them during off hours again. I panicked alittle but seeing that they continue to grow days after, I was finally at ease.
