Are those green leds on the Bluelab monitor safe for flowering?

I know it says so, but I wanted some first hand experience.

Flowering is more dependent on the duration of light rather than the quality of light. Yeah, it'll be ok, unless it's the only light they get. Even then they just won't grow as well as they would under a fuller spectrum.

Some LED's? I would say not a chance, that's a tiny amount of light, and most green light should be reflecting off the plant anyway (which is why it appears green).

I've read conflicting reports on "green" lights and whether or not they will affect a plant during flowering. Now I'm not worried about the little 1w LEDs in things like BlueLab monitors, but I did purchase a 13w "green" CFL and just plugged it into the ceiling socket in my basement. Safe to use during flowering if I have to work in/around my plants during their dark photoperiod? I'm using a growtent, so I'm not worried about lightleaks at all. The only light in the basement where the growtent is is the 13w CFL. Sorry if I'm repeating myself a little I just don't want to cause confusion and/or misunderstanding. Stay safe!

I'd be a lot more confident with the green grow-room LED work lights than a green colored CFL. No practical experience on my part, though.
Re-reading your post, it sounds like the present setup is fine.

I wanted to update that my plants have initiated stretch and none are showing any signs of irregularity. Everything seems to be fine.

You will be fine, they are just dim indicator lights. Even outdoors, plants will get Moonlight, which will be a lot brighter than those segmented LEDs.
