Hey there. I have two rooms going at the minute. A veg room with flouros in and a flower room with 2 600w lights in.

I have spit the room in two but very very small ammouts of light get into to flower room. Is this a concern and will it flower properly?

When will i start to see them flower? This is my 2nd time im about to go into flower and forgot how quick you would notice it.

I will be going to sort out the light issue but by maki g sure its light tight but want to know if its an issue.

They are in total darkness but just the smallest ammount get into the roo

yes it can be, depending upon how stable the genetics are and even the colour of the light, amongst other things. If you are using femmed seeds then they can often hermie

light leaks are bad mmmmmmmmmmmmk.....they not only can stress a plant, causing it to herm....they can also delay, slow, or stop flowering...light leaks should be addressed.
good luck.

The answers really say that it may not it will. That is enough to try and avoid the issue.

So many different types of light, you can grow by the light of your pc screen if you wished jeje

so if its not constant it's ok? Keeping a grow room completely dark while flowering is a basic requirement for growing good weed. Comparing indoor grow conditions to outdoors grow conditions is a great way to mess things up.

high intense light like hps or mh light leaking in will do harm.
we are trying to match the out doors when growing indoors.. so tell me again comparing the two will mess things up... you my friend have a lot to learn

I've been gowing outside and it's not that dark at night but she's still flowering. I wonder if she would flower faster if it were full darkness. I think I am going to start putting her in my closet at night to see if it speeds things up.

A plant can grow under a million conditions, whether it produces a quantity of quality bud is another matter :-)

I open up my flower room from time to time to do something not turn the lights on grant you but light comes in. Never an issue they never get direct light and its not more then 10 times during flower period. So its not like if you let some light in from time to time you will damage your plants or yield. If you flick the lights you flower with off and on then ya probably. Just common sense boys.

@mygirls, more luck than judgment :-)

If you require light to see around the plants use a green bulb. Green light will not hurt them.

Occasional light also will usually not hurt them but light that is disrupting the cycle will, simple as that.

I do not know why you have planst not flowering just now, but I suspect isnt because of light leaks

It has only been 8 days since it went to flower. I have noticed which are female and which are male. The males have been moved now but thought id start to see the buds by now that was all

i think you will be fine with the small light leak, and a s far as the length into flower, different strains have different times, as does a new seed of the same strain. i think you should wait and see how it turns out after a couple days, maybe even a week. :weed:
