Is this too much of a light leak?

Make sure you are writing things down, especially if you have different feedings going on. Even a cheap calendar you can throw on the wall to take notes on, it will be invaluable when you grow again.

I would just give all your plants just water the next couple of times. It takes plants time to recover sometimes. Also check out the plant problems section of the forum, they have a thread that shows you how to diagnose common plant issues.

You sure about that? I'm not sure of the science but we are dealing with candles compared to the sun. Ever taken an outdoor plant and thrown it under a 1000watt? It freaks out for weeks, its like another planet. I have always understood light leaks will confuse plants and they will not flower to their potential and at a very slow rate.

yep im pretty sure about that as ive been doing this for over 20 years and have had every problem you can think of. indoor growing is nothing more than trying to create a perfect world of outdoor growing. Our "candles" Have nothing to do with dark time flowering and neither does takeing a plant from outdoors and putting it indoors which if done right works very well.like i said before as long as they are not taken out of rest mode and back into grow mode even for a couple minutes they will not be damaged. do you ever sleep with a light on? besides i have air conditioners and fans and they all have leds on them that glow in the room at night and i get high quality meds as seen on my profile pic every time i harvest. people tend to go overboard alot and sometimes take to much precaution or not enough precaution so take it or leave it your choice! happy growing

It's the light leaking in towards the other way during the night cycle you need to worry about...

Yeah that's what I am saying. You dont want light leaking IN.

And our "candles" have everything to do with it. We are using such a small amount of light, compared to the sun, any small amount of light during lights out can and will mess with the plants I've had it happen in shitty grow tents. I know you said you have 20 years experience but this is growing 101. I think you would have even better results if you taped over those LEDs. Light tight is the way to go.

Ya everyone has there opinions and you can be as anal as you want to about it but you most likely had other problems. and what do "our candels "have to do with lights out? And i can produse twice as much light and better light than outdoors. have fun with your future prodject and thanks for the info
