I am just wondering if, when my plants are in night time mode and need to enter room, is there danger letting in light for a minute or two. I am in flower.

a little light is ok, but just make sure it is low light. Think moonlight. If it is any brighter than a full moon, then tone it down. Also don't have light on them for prolonged time (light leaks, etc.) I have had plants hermie from light leaks. I have read that Green spectrum lights are safe to use for sure, but I have never used them. I have an old school mini maglite that has a weak ass tiny bulb. It gives off about as much light as a candle, but allows me to see what I need to.

Stating the obvious, but you are best to try to create an environment where you will never need to bother them when they are asleep. and if you absolutely must bother them, use as little light for as short a period as possible.

Never let light in. EVER. If feminized they will turn hermie as little as one time. The flash from my camera years ago was enough to herm my feminized widows, without any other stress related influences. Even though they dont process the green spectrum, its still last resort. just dont do it....

Dangledo seems to have had some bad luck with fems, lol. They sure can be sensitive. I know lots of people do, but I don't even trust the green lights, I have one green bulb and it looks green to me, but under my spectroscope it has blue and red in it's spectrum as well. Just don't go in unless it is critical to the survival of the plants.
