So I forgot to close my closet door all the way last night, not 100% sure when but it opened in the middle of the night. my room is dark and the light cycle starts around 7:00am so I'm not sure if my ladies received any light during their night cycle. my question is if they did get light what would happen to them. they are starting their 7th week of flowering. Am I ok?

My friend, you have nothing to worry about.

People here will tell you that you're plants will metamorphose into hermaphrodites, but these people are only jealous of your 7+ weeks of hard work.
As long as if it's not an everyday thing, you are completely 100% fine.

I appreciate the reply from both of you. I feel relieved that all my work has not been flushed down the toilet. I don't really understand that hermie theory that I keep reading about anyways

It's an urban legend thrown around to prevent people from having any light leaks.
It's the same thing as parents having their kids believe in Santa Clause, so they can behave for the whole year.

light leaks causing hermies is not a myth. its going to depends on time it was messed up and stability of the strain if it will hemrie or not. oyurs with just 1 day is fine. and your so far in now it wont have time to switch and cause issues...your fine but its no myth

One slip up wont freak out the plants. Just make sure it doesn't happen anymore or too often

Light will cause Hermies, but only one incident wont turn them

its good to know my ladies are safe thank you. I have one more question for those who have used Attitude Seeds...I recently purchased 4 seeds and germinated them. only 1 of them sprouted. What are their policies on possibly sending more replacements?

I've been in flower for 4 weeks now and I only just last week realized there was not complete darkness at all during the whole time I've been growing. I have a power switch inside my closet and my grow box has only 3 sides, the front is open. The power switch has a pretty bright light on it and it has not once been off. My plants are doing fine and are right on track according to the strain reports as far as flowering time. If you think about it, when they are flowering naturally, during a full moon it gets pretty bright outside at night, so a little light ain't gonna hurt em. BTW I wish I was at 7 weeks!

Most banks won't replace for germ issues. It's not really their fault, it comes down to the breeder they order from. I've had issues with short stuff seeds so I avoid them now except for onyx. But I order through dope-seeds, if I do seeds. My local clubs offer about 100 varieties of the top clones now, so I don't mess with seeds to much anymore.

the moon and those little lights are powerfull enough to reach the plant. and the moon isnt duirect light, light cant bend.

and ya i used to test for attitude and they wont do anything for bad germ unless there was many complaining and they got replacements freomn the actual breeder. it has nothing to do with the bank.

Oh, sorry for getting off topic, was just about to answer `til I refreshed with F5 and saw windowgrower, he took the words right out of my mouth, or in this case, my Brain/Hands (:P).
