Dehumidifier light cause hermies?

[celticlyle]

Hey people I just purchased a cheap humidifier for my flower room with my girls who are almost week 3 of flowering. It's currently sitting underneath my canopy under my scrog nets. The power button for the device is quite bright.. A green led power light. My question is that is the new green light gonna hermie my. Plants? All are thriving healthy girls so I don't want to take any silly chances.. Anyone have any experience I'd love to hear...

I am not sure. Why not put some duct tape or electrical tape over it just incase.

I agree with Head, I’m not sure if it’ll cause a herm or not but just throw some duct tape over it until you can’t see the light. Problem solved.

Duct tape fixes everything.

I've heard that even a pin hole in a tent can cause a hermie. If that's true, I would say yes it can cause one. Use the tape if you don't want to take chances.

My dehumidifier also has a small green light. It also has a timer setting for 6, 8, or 12 hours, so I just set the timer. If yours doesn't have a timer, how about one of them power timer things, then it can automatically turn it on while lights on, and turn off for lights off.

green is used for grow tent leds as light from that part of the spectrum does not disrupt the cycle. green is not absorbed by the plant and is reflected back. it's why the leaves look green to us.

green led light will not affect a plant or cause it to hermie. the more white the light has, the more likely it is to cause issues, so a weak green would not be great. i run heaters in my rooms in winter, they have red leds, red is definitely a no go, and i use electrical tape over the leds. electrical tape will bleed less light than duct tape.

Duct tape fixes everything.

Duct tape and WD40, two essentials.

If it's moving and shouldn't be, use duct tape.
If it's stuck and should be moving, use WD40

Ya if you use duct tape you’ll have to put like 5 strips over the light to stop it from illuminating through lol

My research earlier in the game showed a lot on green lights.

There are green lights available for sale. They are to be used by growers who have to inspect their plants or have to do chores on the plants during the lights off time. It would seem that a green light, whether a bulb in a lamp or a LED on a power cord should have no affect on the plant and duct or electrical tape would not be needed.

I think if you continue your research and dig a little deeper, you will find that there are green bulbs made specifically for this. Has to be the right shade and of the correct spectrum to have no effect on the photo period of your plants. You can not use just any old green bulb.

Ya, I forgot about that part.

Green lights are not supposed to matter. But I wouldn't risk it. Get some paint or black tape and cover it up.

WOW thanks for the all the reply's guys! My damn internet has been down all weekend! Very much appreciate all your feedback! I Have since taped up the humidifier but it still emits a slight green glow from the green LED bulb lighting up the whole unit through the white plastic. The taped humidified is emitting exactly 3 LUX from the glow in the dark i have checked with a LUX app on my phone.. I am pretty dam sure that it will not matter but who wants to take risks in flower?

 

[celticlyle]

I tried to prize it open but It must be glued at some point and Its almost on the verge of breaking just to get it open. I was going to cut the wire going to the LED..

 

[Rosti]

Just throw more tape over it? If it has a warranty you will void that as soon as you snip that wire.

 

[celticlyle]

I am going to try and tape it up more today or just paint it black.. however im not sure how toxic painted things would be in a grow tent ;D

 

[Rosti]

As long as you let it dry and don’t eat the paint chips I think your good
