Do NOT use green lights in your flower room!!

Hey folks I thought I would pass along some experience with green lighting.

Now most people will say that you have to use green led lights to not disrupt your plants at night.

Well we purchased 12 LED green bulbs for each of our flower rooms. For the last 6 months we kept them on so that out co2 burner would run at night and feed the adjacent room.

After having a room full of monsters, we were standing next to a plant that looked like it was 2-3 weeks behind the others. "This bitch was a dud" I said. Then my partner said.. maybe it's that green light above it? "Huh"? They are green and plants were not supposed to "see" green light.

Well, after checking the other bulbs... almost EVERY plant that was directly under a bulb was smaller than the rest. There were two cases where one side of the plant was immature compared to the other sides that were not basking in green light.

So..no more using the green light to trim and train or easily check on the plants without burning our eyeballs out.

I'm sure for a little emergency maintenance it is fine. But long term exposure to green light WILL SUPRESS FLOWERING.

Cheers

Ive always tried to be as fast as i can in and out with my green leds, even though they say its not going to change anything. Those green leds are so bright its crazy. Hope the next run is better for ya.

Well, we are still killing it in there. The room is 48 x 27 so only a few plants really got nicked.. and we noticed it about a month ago.

Still looking at 85-90.

Any advice on some good strains?

Ya know we went round and round with all the latest and greatest strains... soo many of them are fucking unstable and tend to herm a bit. We just went back to the old favorites, they veg fast, yield great and the dispensories like them.

Cindy 99
Blue dream
Blue city diesel
Gorilla glue.. took forever to find a good cut.
And blackberry cheesecake

We also have a some shiskaberry and Jack skelton. The jack I'm not crazy about

Ohh. And pinaaple express. Not the dankest bud put there but when the rec market opened it FLEW off the shelves.

People here love the Pineapple Express too. Even if they don't know it's called that, people love the way it looks and smells. I would totally agree about the P.E.

Not the auto, of course.

I have been using green led headlamps for years. No problems at all. I go down there quite often but not for a long period of time. I wouldnt screw in or mount a bunch for sure. But headlamps are fine.
