The equipment light is a problem?

[Jayvelo86]

I'm new growing and I want to know if the equipment light when they are in the dark cycle will affect the plant grow or stage if any knowledge thanks. attached a picture to see the day and dark in the room

Best to cover them all. The reds are the biggest problem IMO

Need to make a light baffle for the sunlight coming through the ac.

Tape over the red (and green) lights.

Yes. Get rid of the light. Get in your space. Turn the lights out. Black out everything you see. Then wait like 10 min for your eyes to adjust. Black out everything you see. Some strains don’t need much of an invitation to throw out “nanners” and seed your crop.

I've got a Bluelab Guardian monitor that emits green lighting in the dark cycle. Would that cause the plants to get stressed or become hermie? There are no other light leaks in the room except this one. I am hesitant to cover these ones up because I need to monitor the ph and ppm levels through a camera as I live away from the room.

my titan controller is about 4 feet away from my plants and also has green led display like that and never caused a problem.

My first grow herm’d because of those same red lights being left uncovered. Suk’d but I got major fem seeds from it.

Gorilla tape all red lights. Better safe than sorry.

Night vision cameras use InfraRed to see. That will likely cause more problems than the green light you're worried about.

I’ve turned off IR from the camera during dark cycles. Can’t see anything. I can only monitor during the light cycles.

I personally keep my room completely in the dark when lights out occurs. I cover all digital displays with fabric or tape to eliminate any light leaks in the room. If for some reason I do need to make access during lights off, I use a Agro LED GL56960417 960417 Green LED Night Light-6 Watt Plant-Growing-Lamps, Natural (similar to an Illuminati SG night Light) which I have in the ceiling. This light creates a true green spectrum that the plants have difficulty seeing, and allows for any necessary intrusions into my flower room for whatever reason, but I generally plan my time to be in the room when lights are on anyway, so this for me is only an emergency measure.

Be careful that your light leaks in any green LED readouts are in the right spectrum, which I'm not sure how I would test, otherwise your plants maybe seeing more than you though...the parts of the spectrum you can't see.

Here's an interesting video link to help you understand how green and spectrum work:

Taped everything. Including the blue lab monitor. Not going to take a chance.
