So I cut my plants down and hung up all the branches in my growroom.. I know they should be in the dark, so is it bad if I turn on one of the lights to trim here and there over the next couple days? How will it affect them?

lol night vision goggles :D

dont worry a little light wont hurt anything, its more like if you store the Jar`s in the window shelf for months in direct sun light, then I would worry ..

Well here's what I'm doing:

-Room is about 67 Degrees.
-Room is about 65% Humidity.
-16" standing fan aimed at the ground

And here's what I was worried about:

-Every day, for a couple hours, I turn on one of my 1000w lights so I can trim as they hang.

They're hung on strings in my growroom so that's why I'm using one of my big lights.

Sounds like its ok, but I just wanted to make sure, because I know they're supposed to dry in complete darkness.. And at the rate I'm trimming, they'll probably almost be dry by the time I'm finished lol..

So is all that ok?

1000W to trim ? I hope you make your own power and use sun glasses, may I ask why ?

if your worried about light why not just stick a normal light bulb (60W) in there for your eyes to see, plant wont "see" that much, atleast not compared to the 1000W

if your really worried about light and THC degrees use a green light in there, like you would at dark time in a grow room (only you will see green light)
