Yes. The force flower will either make them flower and take off slowly. Or you got too much light comes in and it never flowers

 

[Lysergicpt]

they can flower as long its not to much its hard to guess, but it will stress your plants a bit , but whats the amount of light ? its the Light from an artificial source? or sun light ? to our eyes may be the same but the plant its completly diferent.

It might not affect them at all or on the other hand they could hermie..

Ive always known that moon is super bright at times and it always blooms fine .what makes it different from inside where a small amount stresses the plant? I really would like to know this , its been on my mind for years..

Because no matter what you do indoors, no artificial lighting could ever compare to the intensity of the sun. The sun is sooo bright that in comparison, the light produced by the moon ie equivalent to a pin hole light leak in your tent.

it's just creep mainly through cracks or reflecting off something... but it may be constant.. it's probably pretty intense light.
like if you were to 12/12 two sets with the same light and they were on shelves one on top of the other...light bouncing in from the side underneath or from above.

Block the incoming light

Best to fix it. Try some gorilla tape

In order for plants to got to bud / flower hormones have to be at a set level, to get the hormones at that level, darkness is needed, total darkness is best unless this is an autoflower, keep them dark to prevent stressing and making hermes, 12 hours light, and 12 hours of total darkness is need to activate them hormones.

You want to block the light. The stress will slow down flowering and if it's too much light. It will go hermie

good advice. they will be fine or won't. nice.

It depends on the strain and how strong the light is. Some would be ok but too much light at night on a sensitive strain will hermie it.......

 

[GrowerGoneWild]

Few things to consider..

Sativa dominant strains are more sensitive to light leaks...
Indica dominant strains are less sensitive.

Or so I've observed.

Sunlight is the worse light leak you can have, very disruptive... I actually have never seen a hermie due to light leaks... I have seen slow onset of flower.

cool i got a lot, probably confident now. i appreciate the help.

How hard is it to just seal up the light leak and have less worries? Better safe than sorry IMO.

Good luck grower
