Green light question

alright so i heard a rumor that you can have a light on during the dark period if its a green bulb. now i seen this on the show WEEDS so im a bit skepitcal but hey you never know. So does anyone know if theres any truth behind this???and if yes does it have to be a cfl or regular style bulb??

Apparently the normal style green party light bulb is fine.

I use a green CFL. Works great. Cost about $4 at home depot.

Its fine to use green light as the plants reflect green light rays, thats why the leaves are green, ( my very unscientific explination )

yes they dont absorb green lite because theyre green if im not mistaken

I have one and it's exactly what I was looking for. I don't have to mess with any bulbs and just clip it to my ear.

Damn good information.

I have used the cheap party bulbs before but being the lazy, forgetful person that I am I never remember to buy them so I just turn on my normal white CFL light if I need to go in there but only for a maximum of about 10 mins. It has never caused me any issues in the past.

Ya incandescent green party bulb works I've been using that. Even then though I try to keep it on the plants for only the shortest amounts of time.

That is correct cb200. Green light actually bounces off the plant back to our visual cortex which is why we see green when we look at any plant. It is crazy when you really think about it. Are they even green?

I have spent hours in the flower room with the green cfls, not so much as a moan from my plants. Completely safe for as long as you need to be in the room. No worries, you just gotta be careful entering and leaving. Even a brief shot of normal full light can cause probs with some strains.

White is the reflection of all visible light waves. Black is the absorbtion
of all visible light waves. Everything in between reflects its respective wavelenght or color. Actually pretty simple.
