light comes through dark room for flowering crop, HELP!!

[mattisreal420]

due to grow room setup and 2 diffent light cycles i have to put some flowering plants in a dark room that is in same room as a 18/6 veg cycle. And i sealed the light out as best i could but still have small cracks on some edges and stuff, but nothing major and most of the light dosen`t come through room but maybe a little. would this room be cool for my flowering crop to be in, in the 12 hour dark period, even though some little light comes though?

No, it needs to be completly dark.
Is it really that hard to block of light?

not really, its just i hade to make a room inside my grow room to put my flowering crop for the 12 hrs dark. and i coulden`t seal off little cracks on floor, and celing of room witch what materials i have, and the light shines through, just a very little bit though. and the light is only shining though for like 4 hours till i can put the floweing herb back in with the other cycle. understand? it sucks to do it like this but i only have 1 1000 watt hps, and due to noisy neighbors i hade to bring my flowering crops i hade outside, in with my one`s i just started. Do you think thsi would still be cool?

Plants flower outdoors under the light of the full moon, so if your box is darker than that you should be ok. I've read that if you can see your hand on the end of your outstretched arm then it is probably too light to be called dark.

thanks for the insight dude, it is darker then a full moon, and i`m pretty sure i won`t be able to see my hand outstretched, but pretty sure i can`t, its just a little light through some cracks on the floor, and on the celing. but it looks to be doing good right now, but what would be the signs on my plants of light leakage in in the dark period?? anyone know? so i could look for it.

They would revert to veg or grow balls, depending on how much light, when the light is leaking and how far into flower they are. Whether the plant/s are under any other forms of stress will also play a part.
You should be looking out for male flowers, I'll assume you know what they look like. I think it's fairly unlikely you'll have any probs if it's only a few dim shafts of light.
