Light after Dark

[cap'n yNg]

Hey all.

 

So i have been wondering if there is a light colour/spectrum that can be used during lights out time?

 

I went searching and read an article on another site/forum where a grower said he used a standard green coloured bulb in his grow space if he needed to do any work during the lights out period. And that it hadn't affected the plants cycle at all. ?

 

Can anyone shed anymore light on tthe subject?

Havent done it myself mate but i have seen green bulbs online on other grows and on a few grow vidies as well.

 

I wouldnt just grab a green bulb outa the multi coulored light strings or anything u get from bunnings but im sure u can find the right 1 yer

A green light that has a wavelength between 515-551 nm is ok, the plants dont absorb the green light instead they reflect the light back making them appear green.

Mate, , they nuffin special, just hydro marketing of products on E-gay again.... 80w screw in floodlamp (green) from bunnings does the job. I used one for a few grows, never had a problem.

 

Get the 80wer, lower wattage just makes it real hard to see.... green is not our prefered spectrum for sight.

 

Dont let them fool you into thinking greenlights are anything special. 

It wont affect ya plants using it, I was going in 4-5 times a day with it.

Just remember, its opening the door and getting direct light on ya plants in flower thats the killer, watch for that.

 

Peace. Nibbler
