street lights?

Are street lights strong enough to fuck up the 12 hrs of darkness?

OH YEAH!Most of the time they`re hps or mecury vapor.Yes they will screw with time out!

Yea i've been noticing this when entering some spots at night. Damn metal halides and whatnot.

yep, dont want to have them under these lights they are very commonly hps like said. i read a story recently of someone getting caught planting weed in a planter that hangs under those lights. had the city watering for them for a while haha

get a high powered pellet gun and fix it yourself if you're lucky the city won't replace it until your cycle is over! I realize it's not the most ethical solution. But and effective one!

now could you steal the lights out of the street lights..... and use them??

Dammit. That's fuckery =( I hope they don't keep some of my babies from flowering bc they're about 10,15 feet away from the light and idk about the shooting out the bulb idea lol too big of a risk for me...but if all else fails it leaves me no other options but to shoot it =/

Might as well go ahead and shoot it. Or atleast climb a ladder and unscrew it to where it's not connected. Street lights will fuck up the 12/12 no doubt.

Yeah, I think about this all the time when they service the lights. The city was putting one up the other day and left the new light in pieces right on the sidewalk for a few days.

or just get some black-out curtains....

shooot that freggin thing are you kidding me??? waste of a thread really... shoot first ask questions later...!!!! lol.... j/k very real queston...

If your plants are only 15 feet away, you gotta block that light somehow. But shooting it might attract donut eaters....

Wonder how easy it will be to see your plants from a 25 foot ladder when they replace that busted light?

this was the first thing i wondered.

My green house gets slammed by an hps streetlight. I'm gonna plant a tree to try to block it but I'll have cover the house daily most likely this season. Not looking forward to that. Can't shoot it out because they will see my operation when they're up there fixing it. I was thinking of using a pole and sticking something up on the side facing my house by I don't know how hot it gets.

To put it simply...Yes.

I contacted the city department of public works today and they said they can paint the section facing my house. I guess other people in the neighborhood have already had this done. You might want to try that.

No you can not... You grow with a HPS(high pressure sodium), Street lights use LPS(low pressure sodium). Now you know, because knowledge is power. LOL
