As shown in the figures below (taken from one of my plant physiology books) there is actually an effect of green light on stomatal opening. Green light causes the apertures to close, preventing transpiration from happening normally or smoothly, perhaps even at all. The first image shows the blue-green reversibility of stomatal opening, and is pretty self explanatory. A pulse of blue light opens, a pulse of green closes, etc..
The other 3 figures detail the effect that green light has on stomata aperture, notice that in the absence of green light, all three examples show a marked increase in aperture openings.
Clearly, the "safe green lights" we've been trusting for many years to be neutral and non-active on our plants (especially in the dark cycles) are not non-active at all. While green light may not disrupt the flowering cycle, it can in fact hinder or disrupt respiration and gas exchange, and the cycles dependent upon that.
Just thought it was interesting, and that I should always spread the word of knowledge. Who knows, maybe this will help someone or cause some one to improve something in the future. I dunno. Hope you enjoyed
