i've noticed that the few times i had to flower in a room that had light leaks it took the girls up to a couple of weeks longer to mature and ripen. i've been growing for a few years now and not one hermie. i was knocking on wood as i typed the hermie comment.
yeah it may cause bloomtime to extend. but thats about it....if you dont have MAJOR light leaks that is

i've had my plants grow in a tent in my room a couple times and almost every night id leave the tent half way unzipped to get more fresh air and i'd have my tv on ALL night..plus i'd turn my light on in my room for a little bit if i had to..never got a seed and never had un-developed buds..here's my theory-most people grow a plant under 400-600-1000w hps or mh and unless those types of lights are leaking into your growroom during lights off then u shouldnt really worry..if the sun is your light leak cover that bitch up unless its just like a hour before OR after lights off, then its not really a big deal.

HELLO !! ! Ok i thought it be time for a Debate. Will light leek during flowering ruin ur plant ? will it grow balls ? will it revert back to veg? all responses are very welcome here.. all input needed

HAPPY 420!!!
Light leak is not a myth

indoor and outdoor grows are completely different when it come to the intensity of light they get

moonlight does not bother outdoor plants cuz it light source is not strong enough

indoor grows do not get the same light intensity from h.p.s / mh / ect

as outdoor grows get from the sun

because of the intensity of the sun during the day the plant is not effected by the comparatively weak light sources at night.

i heard that, except #3..never had an issue with light leaks..powdery mildew and gnats/root aphids are my biggest enemies.

I'm dealing with gnats/larve now and its driving me fucking gnuts!!I think I got them in new bags of Roots organics.( great !) not only do I have them, but I bought them.fuck!!!anyway I've grown near roads where headlites have coused hermies . i've also grown under pine trees and plants that get more shade flower earlier and % wise I've see more hermies in those plants as well , porch lites can couse hermies in backyard grows. the last hermie I had was over a year ago, and it was coused by a tep/rh sensor with a little red lite on it.

just water really heavy every time..maybe use alot of molasses or some type of soil conditioner..i was noticing larva in my water dishes and started watering heavier and using more molasses and a organic soil conditioner..after i watered i would clean out my dish and run hot water from my bath tub onto the roots sticking out of the holes at the bottom of the pot, it seemed to do the trick.

Minor light leak poses no harm...in nature there is the stars and the moon...I watch TV ten feet from my veggers in dark cycle and only had one grow nuts out of over 200...and that probably wasn't even from light leak
