    Incandescent bulbs

    Can plants see an incandescent light bulb? I know they won't grow a plant but will they disrupt a sleep schedule?

    #2
    Yes. I had a 60 watt incandescent light bulb 75-100 feet away from my outdoor plants and it screwed up the flowering cycle. I know outdoor plants can take the light from a full moon but I don’t know how much light is too much so I just shoot for total darkness.

      Woah wait. I just caught that- 100ft? Well then hell between the one neighbor's driveway & the other ones led motion floods shining into the yard an outdoor grow isn't gonna happen & a heat source is a mute point. Dammit.

    Hmmm. Ok then I'm open to suggestions as to a heat source. I'm gonna throw a bunch of small plants outside into a makeshift greenhouse to flower while the natural light still supports flowering.

      Harbor freight has small greenhouses really cheap. They’re pretty flimsy but they would probably last a few seasons and they’re cheap. You could maybe just throw a big black tarp over it at night as long as it blocks light. Might make it easier to keep warm at night too. Funky solution but it would be cheap.

    It’s cold and humidity that will be the issue. Best to have some type of oil heater.

        Statistically speaking, more fires are caused by electric heaters than oil ones.
        If you don’t mind dumping a bunch of cash into your electric bill, sure. If your bank roll is limited like mine, you will find the oil on s are more efficient.

      Cannabis plants are very sensitive to light pollution. Very little light or even reflection of light can disturb their sleep.
