Green light is the only way.

All visible light will effect flowering.Any bulb simply painted emits visible light.-usdi Agaluga

A true green bulb is fine. Not a painted one but a true green bulb. Plants don't see green so you are safe.

I use 2 25w green bulbs in my flower room. I can't go in there once the lights are on due to the Co² so any maintance that needs to be done must be done in the dark cycle.

Tell me where I can read on these "green bulbs" and their miraculous ability to cleave off all but the "green" range of light frequency, loosing the rest the visible light spectrum.I would truly like to know how this was done.Especially since the literature is quite clear.The hormone effected by light during flowering is only effected by the blue range, not green.Back to the original question about a candle.All I know is it takes .03 foot candles of light to effect flowering.The full moon is about .01 foot candles, and the light must be fully illuminating the entire plant.-usdi Agaluga

Not sure if you are saying I am full of shit or not?

HD sells 25 w green bulbs that are not hard to find.

Most all-EXPERT growers do the same thing. They use green light bulbs and do their maintenance in the dark cycle. That way you don't interfere with the CO² enhancement or take the chance of harming yourself from CO² levels above 1800-ppm.

I'm not sure about the glow sticks but I assume they are safe just expensive to use.
