I seem to be posting a lot of questions, and I thank all of you in advance. MP seems to be the best place around to get quick, mostly accurate advice.
I am in no way an expert. I do have years of experience. But some things I have not done quite enough to have my own information on, and thus make a decision on.
One Thing, is lighting during dark time. with all of my other grow, it was usually a covert "closet" type grow. When I needed to do something during dark time, I had a green light to see by. Now I have always thought this does not affect the plant at all, as it can not see the green light. Is this actually true? will the green light not affect the plants dark cycle? I dont want to take the chance with 15 plants.
Another lighting concern is, well, during the whole setup of the room, while the plants are in veg, I have had to put up more lights, and move things around. all of the lights are run through a controller that is wired 220, and the manufacturer advises not to plug or unplug while the controller is hot/live. so we have to shut off all of the lights, wait for them to cool, then plug them back in again.
Long story short, the lights go off, the only light in the room is a small cfl. is this enough for them? Id think it like a cloud going over the sun, or overcast or something similar. Am I right in assuming this? if not, how many watts should I have?
Thanks again MP!
I am thinking of doing a quick tour of my room (vid) once lights go on today, if anyone is interested as well.
