You hit the nail right on the head.I have to disagree. I use my phone all the time to check the temp and humidity in the tent, without any adverse effects. I think this light leak thing is way too over-thought. Plants in nature have full moons. I don't know what the point of keeping the temp/humidity meter outside the tent. Just my opinion.
Use a weak light source or shade it with a stocking or something. No concentrated lights like a flashlight - especially a high output one!
Thanks for the responses guys. I'll look into one of those headlamps. I had a hermie first grow due to light issues, second grow now and I don't want another hermie lol
It's more really like hard to get hermies from minor light issues...... More problems from accidental increased lighting times then any "pin hole" light leak.
That was exactly the problem. Use to do it manually but I was too excited and started smoking samplers. It was so strong I couldn’t wake up in time xD
If you exchange the air in your tent enough then the humidity of the air outside and in will equalize. In all geography weather stations the hygrometer was always shaded and boxed, without this radient heat from light sources will cause warming of the sensor and incorect readings. Prob why lots have sub 30% humidity in their tents, very rare for any plants.I have to disagree. I use my phone all the time to check the temp and humidity in the tent, without any adverse effects.
