Reply With Quoteno, not correct. the color spectrum is what the plant sees and pretty much any color other that green will cause problems.
Simple question: Will house bulbs interrupt the dark period?
The way that I understand it is that UV light from the sun or from a grow bulb inhibits or destroys the flowering hormone that's always present, and once the plant can no longer absorb this radiation(at night) the hormones continue and the plant gets farther along in flowering. Since normal house bulbs have no UV emission the plants shouldn't be able to even detect it, and flowering should go as normal, correct?
one of these:
no, not correct. the color spectrum is what the plant sees and pretty much any color other that green will cause problems.
I grew my entire first harvest using those bulbs, so the answer is those bulbs are picked up by the plant.
what wattage were they?Originally Posted by goodvibes420
^ doesnt matter the wattage..... if light is let in your during the dark period, and it is not green, your signing yourself up for trouble
I think it was the ones that said 100w but only uses 60w of energy or something like that. It was about 3 years ago so i am not sure what they were exactly.
100w equivalent bulbs are 23-26 actual watts a piece

One of those will fuck up your flower.
yes yes it will, u want 100% darkness or as close to it.
no light period during lights out. You might get away with a few mistakes during veg but leave any light besides a green spectrum cfl on during lights out in flower and you risk turning your crop hermie.
