Red Light in Strong White Light: Revisiting the Enigmatic
Question of Why Leaves are Green
Green light according to this journal HAS an effect on plants.. Im not saying that what people say is WRONG just they need to have research to back what they deem to be FACT.. and fact is green light does effect plants.

His question was; Will his green leds make his plants revert from flowering.
All I can say is that a green incandescent will run you about a dollar.
And you shouldn't get expensive lights to work at night, when the plants are scheduled for rest.
Also you shouldn't have to spend much time there during night, especially every day.
I vote just get an incandescent.
I'm sorry I don't know if your LEDs will trigger vegatative growth.
Also if you turn the lights on for a minute or two they technically shouldn't revert.
Could be wrong, I'm personally way to scared to even risk it.

You have a strange way of comprehending the written word - nowhere did he mention flowering or reverting for that matter.
Do you just make shit up as you go along ... sheesh !!!

You two are fools if you didn't understand him.
He wanted to know if the green leds would allow him to work in the garden without disturbing his plants.
The only time this would matter is during flowering, when regular light could tell the plants to revert to vegatative state.
Why don't you two educate yourself on topics first?

Well according to the following people green light DOES in fact affect plant growth..
therefore i wouldent put a green light in the room. hes just asking if green light affects plants... universities and doctorate students have said YES.. I believe research papers over heresay anyday...

" when regular light could tell the plants to revert to vegatative state."
If you kept them on a week or 2 of constant veg lighting they will revert but light leaks/interruptions are not enough to cause it to revert. The problem with light cycle interruptions and light leaks is it can/will cause your plant to go hermie. You've misunderstood what youve read/been told somewhere. no offense meant.

Thanks for the link, I'll definitely check that one out
Thanks for the reply
I don't wanna spend much time working with the plants at night, but sometimes I want to do something that could take around 5 minutes and I'm afraid to bother them. I read about the green light and thought it was a save measure although it seems there are different opinions about it.Thanks man
It's good to find somebody that has actually experienced it. I think i'll give it a try.+rep for you guys.

One last thought... IF you want to use a light source use the weakest one possible
remember those indiglo night lights? they use 1/16 of a watt! but bright enough to work with

I'll be chill too, so don't take offense;
If a plant were in flower, and you gave it one hour of light, every night, at the same time, then it would revert to vegetative.
If the plant notices any type of pattern in your light schedule it will follow it.
I'm not saying he's going to work on it every night at one time.
He actually said it's only a few minutes every now and then.
I would use the green light, but I guess the little night lamp could work too.
Just be careful man.

giving a plant 1 hour at night wont cause it to revert. I know for a fact as thats how you find true females. all the non-true females will go hermie. the true female will be fine and ready to make seeds with.

You didn't even read what I said did you?
Please, put more thought into it.
If you take a plant, and give it the following schedule, it will remain in vegetative state;
8am LIGHTS ON 8pm LIGHTS OFF 4am LIGHTS ON 5am LIGHTS OFF
Because there is one hour of light, every night, at the exact same time, the plant is signaled to remain in vegetative state to take advantage of the "long summer nights"
Oh and don't buy a $10 light to work on the garden at night, a green incandescent will work just fine, really.

yeah i did. your saying a plant given an hour of light during the dark period in a pattern would make it revert to veg. Which is not the case.

I agree the only reason I posted that link is because the topic was green LED's and that links shows that people use LEDs for that exact purpose being disscussed. There seemed to be some slight confusion as weather LEDs are viable. I use a 3 dollar green cfl party bulb from home depot for 4bucks.

Friend, you are wrong.
Please, don't believe me, and go grow a plant with one hour of night every night.
Seriously, do it.
You will see the silliest little retarded flowers and mostly veg growth ever.
Go for it, do it.
