Light leaks show the damage during flowering. Light leaks are the worst you can do to jeopardize a flowering plant.

ive wondered the same thing before. my surge protector power strip in my flower room has an orange "on" indicator light on it.
but its never seemed to affect my flower cycle. its only about an inch by a half inch long square. but it doesnt seem to illuminate anything really.

I don't use power strips with switches that are illuminated in my flowering room for just that reason. Fine for veg, not flowering.

yeah ive wired up a couple 20Amp circuits now and just have wall plugs. no more power strips for me anyway.
just something that ive wondered about that i was reminded by the OP.
but yeah i think a bit of non transparent tape over he little indicator light would do the trick.

i can say one thing. even though the moon shines on my outdoor plants, they still go into sleep mode during the night.
if you dont know what im talking about, to me sleep mode is when you look at the plants at night and it looks droopy like it hasnt seen any water for a couple of days.
but when the sun comes up in the morning they sure do spring up and get all perky!
so much for a scientific answer eh? lol..

I started off worrying about light leaks. Now I sometimes leave the door open in my grow room all day and all night for ventilation. So far no problems. I think that is mainly a myth, it takes a lot of stress other than light leaks to cause major problems. Look at all of the outdoor plants that survive with light leaks, it's never completely dark where I live, there is always the moon and/or other lights. Just MY opinion...

if you have light leaks you could quite possibly end up with a hermie plant. or something like this. a budding plant that throws new shoots from he tops of the buds.
this happened to me because the natural daylight was at 14.40 hours per day and it reverted back from flower into veg.
if i were more educated in outdoor growing i could have left my patio light on at night to prevent it from going into flower until the daylight were closer to 12 hours per day. and had minimal problems..
instead i ended up getting close to an ounce of hash from them.
you live and you learn.

I have seen more than 1 grow that was 5+ weeks into flowering and they reverted back to veg due to light leaks. That is the worst.
