Light babysitter
    #823371 - 02/02/17 04:53 PM (7 years, 1 month ago)

Is there any type of light I could use to baby sit while the main one is off?

say for example I take a nap and I shut the main one off
is there some sort of LED light or something I could leave on instead so the photo-period doesn't get all messed up?
I have a led bulb in orange, yellow and blacklight

You could use a second,less powerful light to keep the plants in veg. If your running an HPS on 12/12 and a T5 on 18/6 right next to it they will stay in veg.

So I can use my phone is what you're saying?

edit: i think transpiration is the main thing that gets it going

it wakes up a little with the excess heat and moisture in the soil...

no a phone won't be bright enough. fold and tie a bandanna around your head and use it to cover your eyes.

He wants to turn off his 'main' light source and put some other light that will keep in in veg. While he sleeps I guess.

unrelated but I invented a new way to vape, you vape it at 250 f then you take hits at 420f and there's less vapor so it doesn't fuck with your throat as bad, the piney smell is kind of gone at that temperature too...

your vape has to blow air for it to work tho...

I just wanted an extra but very cheap light to keep it from going into flowering


edit: i have a airizer vape so i just turn on the fan and it blows air below 250f
420f has a lot of terpenes in that range and the smoke is easier to see

Depending on your number of plants a cheap CFL would do.

A T5 would work better if u got lots of plants or that massive CFL i posted.

I'm vegging 8 seedlings and one large plant under my 2'x4' 8 bulb T5 currently. I like it more then my 400w mh. Mainly because of the larger footprint and much less heat output. It's 53 more watts then my 400w mh too. They're good investments imho. The smaller ones are great for clones.

It really depends on how long they stay off and the number of off/on cycles, and would have to be a purely hypothetical scenario to truly use more total kW-hrs, but this does not really pertain to the original conversation topic.

Not really, 16 to 17.5 hours will keep most plants in the veg state.

I've vegged with 14 before without any flowering. Though I'm sure genetics of the plant plays a role.

14 hours is around the point that plants start to enter flower outside.

I started some seeds under 14/10 because I started them in the same room as my cacti and it was winter so I had the lights on a shorted cycle. anyways they started to flower by the time they were putting out their third node. (a few weeks since germination)

nah i just gave up
too expensive for me to experiment with cheap led fixtures if I don't have a reason too

it'd only be a problem if I wanted to watch a movie with someone, with my headphones on i don't even notice it


I cut out that piece of wood awhile ago because the door wouldn't close with the light in there so i had to rip if off

Sounds like the sound was keeping u up not the light. But i guess it was both.

I was figuring insulation would be the best thing to do. Shield the light and sound.

Thats the downside of indoor growing: bright lights and noise.

dude, its very simple, either get a grow tent or build your own, get some 2x4's, rip them down to 1 inch by 1 inch, build your frame with those, then get some black and white poly (plastic sheeting, black on one side white on the other) hang the poly to make walls, ceiling and a door. now you can run what ever lights you need to without keeping you from your beauty rest. you will need to add a fan (you should have one in there anyway), and a place for hot air to excape and a place for fresh air to come in.
