Can I check my plants when lights out?

During one of my first grows, I had similar time restraints where I could only get into my growroom at varying times during the day. I remember taking a fairly thick piece (3-4cm thick) of green plastic, and basically just taped it to the lens of my flashlight when I needed to see in the dark. Only a dull green glow was emitted, just enough to illuminate what was right in front of me. I even had to do this several times during flowering, and never made a plant hermie from it. But, if I knew then what I know now, I would have tried my damnedest not to do it at all. If you absolutely have to, I think there may be some truth to using a dim green light...but I unfortunately don't know how much water that theory carries.

Ive seen the little green eyeglass lights at my local hydro store but don't know if it's a special green spectrum or not.

No.....you should not check on your plants during the dark hour.

As per Cerevantes's grow dvd psteve is right.With a green light in the room it should not effect the plants.

i dont get why you would even want to risk it.
NOT worth the horrible hermie.

have a little foresight and make the 12 hrs of light during a time you are most likely to be home.

Been using green bulb for years.
