the plant does not use any of the green light and thus it can run during lights out, giving the grower the ability to watch over their grow day or night. pretty cool, huh.

It's on a 30 min. run-down timer and I won't use it much. It's a white bulb painted (dipped?) in green. IAm5toned
said it's not good for too long. He said he uses green LED's. As gumball said they don't see green. Well after a 3hr baby shower and a 5hr BBQ almost everyone is gone. I guess I'll hit it hard in the am. IAm5toned also gave me the wiring diagram for the photocell. Now I just have to get it all in. I spent too much time helping for this shower that I still have some little things to do. I'll transplant Isis and Nikki and in they go. The doors are the last hurdle.

yeah, i have seen several experienced growers doing it. also, you can buy green cfls from home depot, dont know about other places or not. still a great way to maintain plants, especially for stuff like foliar feeding which is normally best during lights out.

Not every green cfl will work actually.. I will post links of cfls I have used in the past with success. Can't be considered a light leak due to the fact the photosynthesis of the light can't be picked up by the plant so it's more like there isn't a light at all to the plants. They don't see it...

I was curious of the same thing. I guess since all of the experienced growers do it, it doesn't mess with anything lol

Well I don't know about foliar feeding during lights out but I do know that the cfls do work great for dark maintenance.

For those of you who are having troubles finding them or finding more specs on them here are 2 well known places you can buy from. I have bought from both places and these 2 bulbs I have are from a quick search of places I know have them.
Home Depot

Hope this helps :D

thanks for the links joker, i wasnt aware that all green cfls didnt work

i always read not to foliar feed with the lights on, or do it a few minutes b4 lights out when possible because it may burn them depending on lights or beading on the leaves. i dont know..., but thanks

Ya see the way I foliar feed is by turning any strong lights off (HID) and turning on tube lights or Cfls then I foliar feed and keep the fan on them. When the fan is on them it will allow for them to dry before burning. I don't get spots of any kind by doing it this way :D

The Home Depot one is the one I have. I folar feed sometimes in the morning, but I have a lot of air circulation. I only do it sometimes. By tonight I'll have them in here.

great to here, i am glad to see all your hard work come together to the actual grow for you. are you gonna use this as the journal for the grow?

i actually plan on using the light in the winter too during lights out. since my grow is in non-HVAC space, i have an auto socket that comes on when the lights go out and this keeps the grow area warm, but I have been using a regular light taped with the foil hvac tape to seal out light. worked good.

Kick ass grow man. Does your airfilter have carbon in it? Whats the black thing is that like a carbon pad? Post a smell report once they start to stink on the inside.

Thats awesome man. If it works then it should save me a lot of time. I was thinking the activated carbon fill up type. Like bolt a 4" pvc end cap into a 6" pvc end cap, so like 2" of carbon.

Hey Daniel, just trolling through. Your fridge looks killer! I love the green light. LOL at the title for your grow. I see what you mean by "stuffed". :) I'm heading over to your grow to scribe for sure. Run by my journals and see what's up!

peace
