Suburban light pollution

I feel that outdoors your plants can get used to low light while flowering. I have neighbor back lights, street lights and a warehouse light surrounding my property and it seems fine. I think it would be a lot different if a plant went half way through flower in the dark and then a light source showed up.
Indoors small light leaks can have consequences because the plants are in total darkness, you never encounter total darkness outdoors.
Just a thought though.

Why not a simple "Probably not" or "No"? Then, on another occasion his response to a question was (paraphrasing), "I'm in a bad mood. I've answered that in other threads, look it up." If you're in a bad mood and don't want to answer questions or converse, why log on to a chat forum? I apologize if I sounded terse, but I don't appreciate anyone suggesting I'm stupid, I'm not. With all the rhetoric about minor light incursions causing problems, my question was perfectly reasonable.

You may not believe this, buy i can usually see who is truly a jaded toxic soul from someone just, excitedly tense shall we say, but still a decent human. Theoretically you could quantify the additional photons provided by any lightning strikes, or car headlights in passing for that matter. And then subtract that from the minimum undisturbed darktime. That's the baseline to stay in flower. We still dont even have the baseline of what light will trigger a problem. And we still have to investigate the internal flowering/phytochrome system and quantify that for any of the light info to be useful.

This lack of knowledge, no doubt the result of decades of ridiculous prohibition.

No doubt they can take a fair amount, and how long matters too. It's just nobody really knows until "oh shit this is revegging" and no measurements of light/duration/intensity info. Im guilty too, my greenhouse has xmas string lights barely putting out light, but i tested 3 indicas and i was barely bumping that Lux meter from 0 to 1 at plant top. I need a more refined scale than 0 and 1 now lol
