Green Incandescent Bulb During Darkcycle..

OK, so this come from another grower...

"Green lights: In recent conversation with a friendly grower of mine, in his off hours he illuminates his grow room with those cheap green incandescent party lights you see at any chain party store... he has measured his yield at about 3 quarter lb difference (increase) with the green lights on at night... I called bullshit... but he showed me the numbers and everything and its true it did increase but thats not to say it was just larger plants at the time... i want to hear if anyone has tried this or has any proof that its a failed idea or old wives tail... "

So, does the green incandescent bulb being left on during the dark cycle increase yields?

If you know the answer PLEASE explain it to me.

I'm still skeptical on this and don't %100 believe it myself.

I think the light only allows you to see in your grow space during night time. I highly doubt it effects the yield at all. Plants don't see in that spectrum of light so I doubt they could use it's nutrients.

Yep I know VV has one in his growroom but I don't think he uses it for yield. I didn't ask to be honest.

I think it is too hard to compare crop to crop, since there are so many variables. You would need to start two crops on the same day, side by side. Use the exact same nuets, soil, light on-offs, etc. Also use twin clone. A little thing like seed quality could explain this.

After this is done, then show me the "proof". Otherwise I think his experience is most likely a fluke, that can't be explained.

The marijuana plant doesn't even register or use the green light spectrum- which is why you can use a green party light to work in your garden when you can't turn on the lights.

It's scientifically impossible for a green incandescent light bulb to have a measurable effect on yield. This just in, breakdancing in a grow room twice a day will increase your yield by 60%.

Green light can not be used by marijuana plants or any plant for that matter because if you think about it plants are green because they reflect green light an absorb other colors of the spectrum so he must have gotten lucky or had some other inconsistence

i learned at school that plants dont even respond/see green lite. i think your mate just had a good yeald, may be he did somthing different and didnt even know it. but it didnt effect his yeild. do 2 grows and try it, but i find youd be wasting your time.
maybe somone should try it.

Hmm, I've been trying to figure out how I could work in my garden without turning on any lights. This green party light sounds like the solution. Thanks!
