Does anyone know if the Infrared LED Lights of a surveillance system will penetrate and hermi my plants outside? The lights are red in color, LED and are infrared. I am buying a surveillance system but want to make sure the red LED lights dont fuck up my plants at night.

Hmmmm, I'm glad you've identified this concern. Given plants definitely like the red spectrum for photosynthesis during the flowering cycle, I would be concerned as well. I guess it might depend on the lumen output and/or the wavelength of light. I do know that there are some green led lights available on the market which are used as "lights out" work lights for cannabis. Evidently the green light does not disturb the lights out portion of the photoperiod, which provides plentiful amounts of working light without any risks, so they say.

Moonlight does not seem to have negative effects on outdoor cannabis, but moonlight is also not a highly usable wavelength of energy for cannabis either. I'm not sure if moonlight doesn't effect the flowering period of cannabis because the lumen intensity is so low, or if the wavelength is inefficient, but I would probably lean towards lumen intensity since regular white light bulbs can disturb them.

So basically, to answer your question, I don't know but I'm concerned too! LOL

i doubt it will bother plants though red is infrared
ithink it will be treated by plant same as green light

So after you posted that question, I was thinking.... Have you been avoiding using your backyard after dark to prevent interrupting your plants? lol

Well I added 3 more feet of sun shade extending up. As soon as I get it all up and tidy, we just got slammed with high winds and a massive dropping of rain. My whole frame and sides were ripped out and laying on its side. I went running to my neighbors house to get help with holding up the frame. We stabled it some but its nerve wrecking right now. It seems the storm just left my area and is heading Northwest. Fucking nightmare there! Here are some pics of the updated.

Now my neighbors behind me and on the back side of my yard cant see the plant. I feel more comfy now that I got that up.

I think if I arrange the cameras so they are not pointing directly on the plant I will be ok. There are 3 systems that I need to make a decision on, it will be an investment having my house with a surveillance system.

hahahaha good shit!

@Shwag, its too fucking hot to do anything in my backyard at night. Thats why there is nothing but weed growing out there.

The cameras are great they having motion sensors so I can get alerts at all times and I can look at my grow with my phone, kindle or any cpu with internet. Plus it gives me a sense of security of my home. I dont live in the best area so this will help greatly! Plus its a new toy I can play with.

lol, makes sense. Yeah man the security sounds like a great idea. I've considered them for my home and may do something this fall. Please share what system you select!

Hey FMILY. I've wondered the same thing. Never heard or read of camera lights causing a herm but I just read over on Mad Hamish's journal were his red A/C standby light caused herms on his indoor. Maybe pointing them away from the girls? :leaf: BTW, saw your scrog update over on the scrog thread. Absolutely amazing!
