Chances of Hermie During Veg?

[razzapiggy]

So I have a friend helping me out in my room, putting in more room for power. Today I walk in and he was using a head lamp, very small light but jeez...I really worry about that shit. I usually just use the green light bulb instead of a head lamp... but do I need to worry? My plans are in veg so I think that decreases the chances of hermie quite a bit right? I'll keep an eye on em I guess.

The lamp really was only near a few of em but I really wish he had just moved the plants... guess only growers know how much of a concern that can be no matter what the chances are.

If yer in veg, you're probabley OK.

But be aware that any light- even enough to move the plants- is a no-no during dark cycle. I certainly wouldn't be doing any work in, or walking in and out of, a room during it's dark period- it's just poor procedure.

Eventually, it'll bite your ass.

Yep, I try as hard as possible to stay out of there but for obvious reasons the electrical work needs to be done with the lights off considering we had to turn the main off.

Had a problem with light leaks a few runs ago, didn't create a problem... but I know, it's a risky business for sure. Guess my question is is the risk alot higher during flower?
