    5second 'accidental' lights on during dark cycle

    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

    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

    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
