yeah dawg...cover them up at the same time you are, but then uncover them after the sun has gone down so they can catch the moonlight and gentle breeze every night

the humidity and moisture problem is why i decided to not cover my girls. if your plants cannot be moved to a dark room, at least uncover them once it's dark outside. you could easily end up with mold issues once those buds get bigger if you continue doing what you're doing.

so when i cover them up for 3 hours at night and then remove the cover at 930 the light change will not affect the plant? Its pitch black dark under there and when i remove it there is a little more light than whats under the cover wont this affect the plant?

That's a good question.

If it's no more than moonlight I don't think it will affect the plants.

Everyone I've seen force flower covers them 12 hours after the sunrise and uncovers them again after dark. Not seen any problems this way, so based on that I'd say it's okay.

I'm going to go ahead and start uncovering them at night sounds reasonable> Thanks for the help +Rep to all.

I made a wooden frame, and a form-fitted black visqueen cover, the drapping of the plastic leaves a good gap across the bottom for a breeze, and good air flow flaps on the top. Works better than a heavy barrel, because that cuts off air flow to the plant. Stagnant air is the last thing you want when you're plant is flowering.
