Will 24/7 light from space heater supress blooming?

I have a couple males I'm growing for the pollen. Main lights are on 14/10. Will radiant heat light from space heater keep them in the vegetative state?

I doubt it will be an issue... can't you just tape over it ?

It might, you know-no brighter than the moon, can you get a newer heater that doesn't have the old style glowing element?

I've done some research and the space heater may have to go.

The light wavelengths that suppress flowering go from 660 nanometers to 800 nm.

The heater I have appears to put out 780 to 1400 nm, which is a slight overlap.

I think I'll give it a week and see if the pods advance.

I would expect it to, turn it off.
