before you worry too much, consider the light put out by a full moon.

yeh friendly is right. On a full moon in the summer (no clouds) its like day time in the countryside. You can see for miles!

Once or twice is fine, but don't make it a habit. Yes the moon's light can get very bright, but it is a totally different spectrum then say umm....THE SUN!! Since you're growing inside, your conditions will be much different as well. Do not make this a habit! Work on your plants when the lights are on as well. You really shouldn't disturb them in their sleep because you could make then turn into some hermies!!! You don't want hermies!! Anyway..good luck with the grow. Let your babies sleep in peace!!

HOMAPHRADITES. They will have features of both male and female.
i know someone close who just can not understand this. so what if i open the door, it's just like the moon. then his plants are all tweeky and he doesn't get it. i've told him a hundred times. whatever.

chill buddy, if it just happened once it for sure will not do major harm
get yourself a green light up in your grow and one in the room in front of the grow so that you can work in there even if it is in dark cycle. green light won't bother you babies! they can't "see" it

both would work as long it mainly gives of green light, so about 95%+. i went for a coated party-light since i could found green CFLs for a buck and i don't need it for long anyway

or just visit them during the day, you still dont want to risk your chances with "green" light. as there are spectrums you cannot see.
15-25 mins ONE TIME is ok, ive made mistakes too, we all have, but yes every night of that happening, and you will come into problems.

afraid that the draw some from the UV spec or x-ray?! outdoors the get light to in a clear night, ever heard of lunar, the moon?
and bit green light will not harm them for sure since they can absorb it anyway, guess why plants look so greenish russ

Basically, i meant be careful what bulb you buy. Just because it's tinted green doesnt mean it only let's out green light.
and the main point being, why take the risk when you don't have too?
just don't be impatient. wait until your lights are on.
