Light leak

hi,

i was wondering how bad does a light leak have to be to cause stress to the plant?

like how long? intensity?

my set-up is in pure darkness when light's off, no leaks at all.

but i had to get in there the other day to grab some stuff, the light i allowed in wasn't very strong at all and lasted about 15-30 seconds, that isn't enough to cause problems is it?

thanks

dont quote me on this, but i read somewhere that it takes as long as 2 minutes for it to cause considerable stress. and it takes a light slightly stronger (or as strong as?) than a full moon to affect it. im sure the experts would correct me if i'm wrong.

youd think light as strong as a full moon would be harmless...like a flashlight

The real question is..Are you a risk taker? Even the smallest break in the photo period and you risk the plant going hermie. Grab your shit out of the room BEFORE lights go out.

cheers for info everyone, +rep
