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.

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. |
