Growroom "night" lamp

[KingCharles]

Hey
I just bought a bulb i was hoping to light my growroom.
But i realized that the light isn't green at all and the bulb is just painted green. Will this work or do i need another lamp?
Here's a link to the bulb: Färgad päronlampa LED - NORTHLIGHT | Clas Ohlson

The light needs to be GREEN LIGHT. Not a green cover, or green paint. The green light has a specific wavelength, and I believe all those films and covers do, is tint the light, not alter the wavelength.

The easy way is don't bother with a green night lamp. It isn't needed. Just stay out of the grow room during lights out. This will minimize the risk for stressing your plants.

Okay, thanks for the answer! I'm throwing it away right now.

What Antics said is spot on. Easiest and safest just to stay out of the grow room during dark periods.

Very well! I mostly just needed the light when i was trying to get the heat right anyway. Hope i didn't mess my babies up. It's very early in bloom though so I might be lucky

In Veg, they're a little more tolerant, but if you're in flower now you absolutely want to avoid opening those doors. This is a very critical time for them. I would suggest waiting until after this grow, then go ahead and get all your heat settings correct.

Okay. I'm still in the first week of bloom at least. Before i had them on 24/0. Today one of the crappy timers failed on me and i couldn't do anything about it until 4 hrs after the night should have started. Next daytime should be on schedule though right?
I really need to get higher quality timers.

Yeah, if there's ever a problem like that, always make sure you fix the issue, and resume normal schedule as soon as possible to minimize stress.
