One additional piece of information I would like to toss into the mix- What is the light spectrum of the various sources of light pollution? For example, say a plant grown in a highway median gets exposed to car headlights all night, what does it do? Flower normally? Go herm? Fail to set bud? Compared to a plant grown at the edge of a parking lot with light from a distant HPS...

Your 100% correct. I have thought of this, but didn't lay out every possible question due to length of the post. Point is that we have to start somewheres and as we narrow our conclusion possibilities down, more experiments will have to be conducted. I figured if I could get the ball rolling we could have other satellite experiments conducted that could either support or weaken certain hypothesis.

In regards to your point...I approached the thought this way: Plants absorb almost all of the spectrums of light except green. Now what spectrum is responsible for reversion or stressing has to be determined at some time.

For anyone reading this post, PLEASE do not think this is something that will be accomplished in just a month or two. Hopefully with the help of some other growers, ascertaining necessary data will help accelerate the experiments. This is why I asked if anyone, from anywhere, could help with with the light measurements of your area. This data might not be applicable at this moment, but at some time it will.

If anyone would like to help and has questions on how to proceed please post on here and if need be we can correspond through email or IM. :thumbsup:
Methyl3 Reviewed by Methyl3 on . An experiment in regards to stray light and light cycle interuption... I am going to be conducting a little experiment over the next few months. The basis for my experiment will be how much light is needed in order to interupt, stress and revert the flowering plants back into veg growth. The reason I am doing this is because I always see posters asking about absolute darkness and flowering. i have also seen it stated in various books that grow area MUST be kept completely dark. Is COMPLETE darkness needed or is it just another optimization factor that is Rating: 5
