My Neighbor like to waste electricity so he leaves his back porchlight on ALL DAY AND NIGHT. Heres the question: Plants are flowering right now does the fact that his porchlight(prob 100w soft white bulb) is on all night affect the plants? The porchlight is about 50-60 feet away my plant is kinda tucked away behind a big bush where most of the plant is in darkness but some light still gets through. Should I move the plant or will it be ok, prob 1.5 wks left.

According to the inverse square law, the intensity of light radiating from a point source (in this case a bulb) is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source. So if an object is twice as far away, it receives only 1/4 the light.

probably doesnt even affect them

think about what your asking - if you grow indoors do u use a porch light ? no - you use a specific light that has a certain spectrum , security lights or any lights OTHER than horticultural lighting wont effect plants....
