New room and the green lights are bright wow
Notice the green lights from the surge protector are very bright at lights out
Will they have a negative effect on flowering ?

es green light affect plants at night?
Gardeners primarily use green grow lights to water, navigate the grow room, or inspect plants during the dark cycle because the green lights do not interrupt the plantās ānightā period. Green light mimics moonlight, so even if a plant is aware of the light, it does not trigger photosynthesis or photoperiod hormones.Apr 28, 2016

theoretically you should be okay with green light.
i never tested that, tho ā¦
in your case iād cover the light with tape or so, just to be sure

Iāve used a green headlamp for years without any problems, however itās only ever 2/3 minutes and Iām out of the tent.
I doubt theyād matter but Iād cover them anyway with blk insulating tape, thereās a lot of time and effort to put in and then realize thereās a problem.

Black electrical tape on every damned flicker. When I āDark Testā my room I want actual darkness.

When you get towards the end of video he gives examples of what light level can be based on using a reading a book example. Very interesting and so dam common sense like. The Doc grows cannabis so All Good

Thatās what I was referencing. He says at proper levels you shouldnāt be able to read the page. Light from the street light was definitely bright enough to do that

Exactly so no reading in the grow room at lights out. He talks about green light and itās quality and effects.

Covered all green lights as beautiful as possible Iāll work on it more

Darker then out side at night with no streetlights or moon

I used āliquid electrical tapeā to āpaint the switchā.
Itās a āblack goopā that will block the light and is easily removable at a later date.

It has all been said but here is my 2 penceā¦LOL
I feel you can have any color of light in your grow room during the dark period, just keep the intensity way down.
With the read a book thing, I think we must consider the plantās point of view.
That tiny green light on the electronics is not at all bright from the door way, but to the bud that is laying right on itā¦it is super bright.
Think of holding your eye open and touching the light with your eyeā¦LOL
You get the point, it is brighter that way.
Typically you dont need to worry, but some strains/cultivar are more sensitive than others, genes that are intersex prone will have more issues than torture tested cultivars would.
Personally I have light leaks in my flower room, it comes in from the veg area.
Some would sayā¦WTF???
I donāt have issues so I see no need for correction.
I do not suggest this sorta action, it just shows we need not be so uptight as we once thought.
I must sayā¦
If I had issues or fears of intersexed plants, that would be the first thing I fixed was every little light leak.

Peace of mind : )
If you do find a herm then you know light leak was not the problem ( process of elimination easier )
Plus takes
Little effort to do : )
