    Default Green light in grow room?

    Hi

    I saw on a Jorge video that you can use a green bulb in your grow room so you can work during the lights off period as the plants cant see the green light - does anyone know if a simple green coloured bulb from a hardware store is all that is needed?

    Thanks

    Good Morning Pot head. I know of a company somocohydro.com that has a 6'' wide tape called energy ink tape that goes on the wall's in your grow rooms. It absorbs light when the light are on and is photo luminescent and glows for 12 hours so you can see in the dark. they also have light switch plates and strips to put on your flash light and little feet to make a path so you can walk anywhere without tripping over stuff

    I like the sound of this very much, however a quick search of google, ebay and the site you mention gives no results for energy ink tape. Are you sure that's what it's called?
    Also have you actually used this stuff and if so how well does it work? Maybe I'm just sceptical but I never saw photoluminescence bright enough to see much by (besides whatever was glowing).
    Thx.

    i was told to use any green light so I got a green halogen 80 watt bulb and I'm not sure about all that. Its really bright in there. Its just as bright as a normal light and I think it is too bright. Anyone know?

    Why would u have an 80 watt green bulb on in your setup during the plants dark period.
    u may as well have a 14 watt which will easily produce enough light for you to see.. its not like you want more light for the plants.

    Thats all they had.
    Why would it matter if it is 80 or 13 watts? A green light is a green light, no? If the plant suppossedly cant get energy from a green light why does it matter if its 13 w or 13,000watts?

    I don't think its that simple. "Any green light" including a "party bulb" from walmart just doesn't seem right. Using this logic it would follow that I could take a white bulb and my daughter's green washable crayola marker (any green as there are 6 or 8 of them) and color in the whole bulb. Essentially, the "party bulb" is a normal incandescent bulb with green glass, but the filament of the bulb still burns with the same properties as the white or clear bulb. Granted, ganja uses part of the red spectrum and part of the blue spectrum of white light to do its thing, but are we sure that the green glass is an efficient filter for these parts of the spectrum? Any green? I'm not so sure. I would be a bit more careful about what bulb you buy in terms of color temp and the other bulb-specific technical specs.

    For example, I could trust a green LED, because LEDs are tuned to a certain part of the spectrum measured in nanometers...

    My point is, unless you have enough specific info on the green bulb to trust it scientifically, I wouldn't use it. I believe in the purity of light and dark in indoor gardening.

    Maybe thats the thing, the plants don't receive any light because of the green color from the spectrum (if it gives off a green light from the spectrum).

    Then he is able to work in the dark if he ever needs to.

    I don't inform, I entertain yet I don't know what I talk about.
