This morning I looked in the tent because it was dark in the room and seen that I did not cover the light on my dehumidifier and the inside top on my tent was glowing green from this light. My plant is day 50 of flower and this light has been there the entire time. What is this going to do to the buds I have? Will I have seeds? Anyone ever done this? Thanks in advance

If the light was green it may have no effect. I think it may be due to the fact that plants reflect green. Which is why they appear green to us. I could be completely fuckin wrong tho man. Fair warning lol
I was thinking the same thing about the green light but am glad to see someone else thought same as me

Even green can break the light cycle if there is enough of it. At 50 days you should be able to cut off a small bit of bud and examine it for seeds. Good luck

Rocketsoul is right, green is still part of the light spectrum, and plants still use it for photosynthesis, but it's intensity that counts. One day, u probably won't notice anything. I try and stay the hell out of the garden during lights out but it's a good way to check for light leaks!
I don't ever go in during the dark cycle. I sat inside the tent when I set it up to see if I had light leaks. Just when I started have humanity issues I never thought about the green on light on the dehumidifier. It has been on ever since the plant went into bud.

I noticed a similar issue with my dimmers. They have a bright red LED in them when theyre off, just taped em up

I went a whole cycle with a red illuminated switch on a power strip without issues, and plants are way more sensitive to red than green. Still, not recommended though lol

For round 2 ur looking good bro. What strain are u running? That led really messes with the color in the pic. All I can recommend is next time top a few more times in veg and keep the canopy even. The increase in yield is totally worth it.
