Plants been on flower coming 2 weeks now. Couple of times I flicked the room lights on by mistake, not the gro-light (!). But I react accordingly and switch it back off, giving it about at the most 5secs of room light (?). Does this do anything to the plants?
I would guess, it would 'stress' it...but what'd that do?
Short term memory! Have done it 3 times now :p
Take the bulb out so it wonâ??t happen again. If you need to go into the room during dark then use a green bulb and you will be safe. That little time will not really affect the plant but it could stress it if you keep it up.
Use a green bulb
just what i thought :)
funny thing is right after i typed the post....i did it again. DOH DOH DOH DOH!!!
short periods of very minimal light will not affect anything, especially if the room light you're turning on is incandescent. to stress the plant it requires prolonged (1-2 hours a night) for a week or more....
you get moon light, you get lights from cars and what not in the wild... it's prolonged interuption in the light cycle that you don't want.
I have heard of a mythical plant along a strip of highway..... the plant never gets 12/12 ..... car head lights hit it on a regular basis... the plant is said to be 12 years old... and MASSIVE... like a crawling BUSH...
ahhaha
one more thing.. I know this guy who always interupts his plants.. he turns the lights on or levaes the door open all the time... it drives the rest of us crazy whenever he does it.. but I have never seen it adversely effecdt his yield.. lucky bastard
that is fine . as long as you are not turning on the light and opening the door to show ppl . thats were ya go wrong
