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.
