BooHoo

i heard a 600watt hps light is good to use in the dark to look at your plants. lmao really learn on your own you will be better off in the end

so everyone is saying that all you have to do to get red spectrum that a plant can use is paint a white bulb red? theres alot more to it then that

if you want to see your plant put a camra in your grow room with night vision but dont have any light on just to be safe.

Pretty ridiculous huh.

yes kind of is stuped

And how offten does someone pub. something saying this is fact, here look at my tests and all the proof, wow you tested 1000 subjects with your theroy and now its facts. So are eggs still good for you or are they bad.

Take the info that has the most evidence and do a test for your self.

As you started this thread I was assuming that the light would not be on all the time, just enough time for you to go in and out and do any ness. tweaks.

Good luck and keep us posted

And if so how long does the light have to be on before it make a difference? 24, 48, 72 hours. And if thats the case what diff. will it make? Do you think that it will just jump right back into veg. state after a few hours.

Will someone please lock or delete this thread? I'm sorry but this is just total crap full of misinformation

want to look at your plants? wait for the lights to come on. want to argue about it like high schoolers? go somewhere else man

stop arguing. you are maing this forum look like shit slinging monkeys

look let em bicker all they want. i wake up the girls when ever i want. day or night cycle
i have done this for years. no green lights needed

All you have to do is get off and your problem is solved.

Gee, what color light is dominant in HPS ?????? RED YOU JERK, DO NOT POST ON THIS SIGHT IF YOU ARE GOING TO GIVE STUPID ADVICE TO PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey kid, stay out of your room during dark cycle, even green lights do not put out only true green light, any RED or BLUE spectrum WILL disturb you dark period. Read a science book on photosynthesis and BUY A MARIJUANA GROWERS GUIDE by Ed Rosenthal, he KNOWS what he is talking about and dedicates a whole chapter on light and growing. DON'T TRUST MOST ANSWERS ON THIS SIGHT , it's just someones opinion , NOT FACT. READ THE FACTS, PLEASE, for your own good . Don't take even my word, read from a REAL BOOK.........NUF SAID

man you gettin hype for no reason chill out... u outta weed or somethin???... photosynthesis will occur no matter what kinda light you usin whether its an HID light that puts out more of the blue or red SPECTRUM (NOT LIGHT COLOR) or if its a cfl thats painted or not... its gonna be light that the plant can use, you wanna kno why???? because with light travels tiny tiny particles that trigger photosynthesis... jus because the light is tinted green doesnt mean its the only spectrum coming from the bulb... not only do you need to read a book on growin weed... read a book about botany and photosynthesis and how it really works and you'll realize how retarded you actin right about now

If im an amateur that puts you in elementary school livin under your parents roof. This isn't about cannibis man, this is about photosynthesis and plants in general. Hemp isn't some exception to the way photosynthesis works, remember its a plant.. yes the cannibis plant prefers either a blue or red spectrum when flowering or vegetating but you fail to realize that any light can trigger photosynthesis. You really think that because green paint around a bulb will cause a green spectrum of light??? The same with a red bulb?? or even a blue bulb??? Cuz I am 100% sure if that was true even the best marijuana growers in the world would be using red and blue bulbs... but do they??? NO THEY DONT... so lets review

if painted bulbs produced only the spectrum they were painted then im pretty sure that we would all be using painted bulbs since cannibis loves red and blue spectrums... but since no one does that ,even the smartest most expierienced growers in the world my logic seems correct... right??

SO WHETHER YOUR LIGHT IS PAINTED CLEAR GREEN RED ORANGE BLUE YELLOW BLACK PURPLE ANY COLOR a plant will grow... maybe not as fast or as efficient but once those particles reach the plant photosynthesis occurs and well we turn the lights off for a reason... right? not to stress and confuse the plant by starting photosynthesis in the middle of its dark period... do you get it now or do you still believe that you are correct about how light spectrums really work and how photosynthesis occurs??

and me choking while kissing another mans ass? stop coming with weak borderline gay/homosexual disses.. unless u think thats what u really need to be doing.

Lets have a civil debate here guys and stop with the name calling, relax. Every thing I've read says incandescents aren't good for growing because they put off to much heat, aren't the best spectrum. If the light is 5 or 6 feet from your plant, lets say it's a 15 or 20 watt red incandescent, how much will it really effect your plants? I don't think it would if it's not all the time & it's not on for very long periods but I don't know because I've never tried it. Of course the best practice is STAY OUT of your garden at night anything you need to do you can do when the light is on unless your going in there to just hang out with them and in that situation leave the light off and enjoy. I've got a green one in my grow room but have not used it and don't intend to of course you never know. (The above rambling is the soul opinion of McLovin420 and should not be considered fact)

Lights for Cannabis Growing
The common incandescent light bulb emits some of the frequencies of light the cannabis plant can use, but it also emits a high percentage of far red and infra-red light which cause the cannabis plant to concentrate its growth on the stem. This results in the cannabis plant stretching toward the light bulb until it becomes so tall and spindly that it just weakly topples over.

There are several brands of bulb type. One is the incandescent cannabis plant spot light which emits higher amounts of red and blue light than the common light bulb. It is an improvement, but has it drawbacks. it is hot, for example, and cannot be placed close to the cannabis plants.

'Nuff Said'

The 60 watt incandescent bulbs that I have put out 850 lumens. If you divide 850/60 you get 14.167. I'm going to say I have a 25 watt red incandescent bulb, I don't or maybe I wouldn't be guessing it's lumens output, 25 x 14.167 gives me 354.175 lumens. So the light we are using is 355 lumens & it's 6 or 7 feet away from your plants(using my room dimensions).
If I take the inverse square law - the intensity of light changes in inverse proportion to the square of the distance or I= L/D^2 Inverse-square law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia or Educator's Guide to The Inverse Square Law

355/36 = 9.86 lumen that is reaching the plant
Hell will say its 500 lumen
500/36 = 13.89 lumen

Do you think that low of lumens actually reaching the plant for short periods of time once or twice a month is going to have an adverse effect on them?

Hey mclov.
You said this (Of course the best practice is STAY OUT of your garden at night)

If we as ppl did just the norm, we would never get anywhere in life. We need to try new things and not just once but 1000s and millions of times. This is how will come up with new ideas and with new ideas come new techn. And with new techn will come great success on a life and the not just the norm.

I remember awhile back when well I won't name names but they know there shi* I read a thread about how Mr. J.C had in one of his books that when plants are in veg. state there is no real benefit to have the lights on 24 hours, and he stated that 18 hours is the most that the plant could handle. And now in newer books he states that he was wrong. Don't quote me on the way I wrote this. I never read the books.

T. Edison tried 2000 ways to make the light bulb and through his trials he found much more then how not to make a light bulb the first 2000 ways.

My point is just because someone wrote a book 5yrs,10yrs, 20yrs ago about how this will not work with that and no no that will never work, with all of the new techn. the sky is the limit.



Good luck

thats right try new things think outside the box learn for yourself. now thats some good advice.
