I've gotten alot of mixed answers. I've used it 4 times in 5 years but never noticed the plants having an issue with it
Is a Green CFL Light ok to use during lights out?

For when lights are out in dark period you can see..

Yeah, fuck doing some actual research. Just believe what you believe and carry on with life.

Hey buddy. Long time no speak. Looks like you finally sexed and grew some balls.
Yea man. Your right. Because choosing to work with lights on is a huge no no. How fucking dare I.

Keep that head buried in the sand. It's working out well for you.

I'd rather keep you head buried in my lap.
I research everything that means something btw.
Using a green bulb doesn't affect me as again I work with lights on.

Yet you never researched green lights and their effect on photoperiod plants. Brilliant stuff, brofessor.

There's no right or wrong it's up to the individual but let's not start pretending that green is anything other than safe to use during lights out.
Sometimes I go into my grow space 2/3 times a day, dialing in fans, heaters, feed timers etc are jobs that sometimes need done or checked on in the dark period.

I use green light...not often but I do.
I have not noticed adverse effects.
Just my unasked for 2 cents....

Why would I if im not going to use it?
Green Spectrum
This spectrum of light plays a role (albeit minor) in the growth of marijuana plants at various stages. Its wavelength ranges from 495nm to 570nm.
Cannabis plants absorb very little green light energy, but there are reports that small amounts can affect growth.
For most growers, green light isn’t necessary for a successful grow. But, If you feel like growing cannabis with lights that have a more complete spectrum of color then a little bit of green energy is a big yes.
One thing that’s great about green light and cannabis is that it doesn’t trigger flowering. Cannabis is very sensitive to light and dark cycles. A small amount of light during the night period could trick your plants in thinking it’s time to flower. Cannabis doesn’t “see” green light making it the perfect color of light to use if you want to work on your plants during the night period.

Light is the key component of photosynthesis. Cannabis plants need the right type of light just like they need the right nutrients.

Just because not everybody wants to go google about something they recall reading at some point in their growing life doesn't mean that they are wrong. So are you saying that the research is wrong and you have research that says otherwise or are you just being a zeippedy doo dah hypocrite?

Importance of the green color, absorption gradient, and spectral absorption of chloroplasts for the radiative energy balance of leaves - PubMed
Terrestrial green plants absorb photosynthetically active radiation (PAR; 400-700 nm) but do not absorb photons evenly across the PAR waveband. The spectral absorbance of photosystems and chloroplasts is lowest for green light, which occurs within the highest irradiance waveband of direct solar...
I got to know, what is the point of growing them so tall if your root zone is so limited? Surely you could shave a week off by just bending them if it's tops you're after. Lights look cool. floor spotless.
