I don't understand your comment about the lumens stopping the flowering process since they can be under lights for 24 hrs during veg? Are you referring to veg or flowering? Cause that's exactly what I did. I turned on some cool CFL's that I have in the room so I could see what I was doing in there.

Let me try to ask this question in a simpler form. Is there a problem with me turning the lights on and off as I please during veg?
