Slowed flowering could use some advice please

Just because it didn't happen to you doesn't mean it isn't a FACT that light interruptions or a dim light on or light leak in flower MAY cause plants to throw intersex flowers.

Let's not start trying to confuse people and spread bad info. COMPLETE darkness is required for flowering INDOORS.
Really? So indoor cannabis is different than outdoor cannabis? It isn't completely dark outdoors, so it must be?

Exactly. I've never had problems either. I have a lil light on my humidifier, that at first I was nervous it was gonna cause herms, but it never did, and still doesn't to this day.
Neither do the pinholes in my acinfinity tent.
I think people just like an easy to explain excuse for something that was probably out of their control to begin with.

Like "Naw it wasnt the abuse i put my plant through" It was the teeny light on my strip, or pinhole in the tent that did it.

Well I just had a friend have an entire seeded room as a result of a little red light on a power strip he missed. Any light during darkness indoors can cause issues it is best to correct it as the OP did.

To the OP, your plants look good! Just keep an eye out for nanners. It isn't certain as some strains aren't bothered with it as much as others. If you see them, pick them off and go from there.
all things considered why leave the light if you can cover it?
Of corse it doesn't. Just like the little red indicator light on the heater or a power strip doesn't.
All things considered, I’d cover any electrically induced lights, bc why not? I don’t see how covering it could ever hurt?

Comparing artificial exposure to the moon probably not as helpful for anyone.

Although America did just successfully induce nuclear fission, so we could make an artificial sun and reflect it off a matte surface in space to check if it causes Hermes. But we’re busy right now politickin

You're ignoring the op's original question though.

His plants look fine.
They are at 6 weeks of flower where upward growth slows or stops entirely if it didnt before that.
At that stage of a grow buds just start gaining weight and dont outwardly appear to change much.

Ok.

Statistically I’d put the odds of the light off a surge protector stressing a plant out to the point of becoming a hermaphrodite around 0.001% an that’s if the surge protector is right up under that plant shining hard all night.

However without seeing a full journal of nutrients and training, as well as knowing the genetic line his friend created and the stress it underwent pre cross, I’m willing to admit it’s impossible to know. My best guess would be faulty genetics, I’ve heard of lines going herm and being ruined. Or like dude said, stressing the fuck out of them conditionally.

He didnt mention any herming. Just that growth slowed.

All this light leak stuff is just hypothetical

No one said it would hurt, just that the light isn't going to do anything....
