How important is it to prevent all light leaks during the dark period of an 18/6 veg cycle? I know its much more important during flowering but do small light leaks still stress plants during vegetative growth? Thanks for the help :thumbsup:

yes, i believe it 'confuses' the plant and may cause hermaphroditism
Light leaks during veg aren't as bad compared to light leaks during flower, but it's still not something you want.

Tex is right. If you can't control your dark cycle, you should be running on constant light.
