according to my copy of Ed Frank's grow book, for light to affect the plant's cycle, it must be a light that is directly on the plant, and must light the entire plant ... a stray light catching a branch, etc. will have no affect (according to the book) ... personally, I leave my cabinet doors open when Im on the computer, sometimes for hours (its a couple feet away from me now) ... I enjoy the oxygen, and she likes my co2 ... never had a hermie, and my plants are typically without problems ... light, like temperature, and humidity, etc., all have ideal situations ... the plant will survive thru damned most anything, but to have healthy, productive plants, you want to try to stay near that ideal situation (but, no need to despair during minor fluctuations) ... :smokin:
the image reaper Reviewed by the image reaper on . Is it ok to interrupt darkness? I'm still in the veg stage, but I was wondering if going into the grow room while the lights are off will stress them out and make them go hermie? I didn't get a single seed from my female plants in the past, but now I was giving my light a break. Instead of 24hrs on during veg, I'm turning it off for a couple of hours a day. Is it ok to intterupt during these couple of hours of darkness in veg stage? Thanks By the way, can the site moderator add a mood to the scroll down choices? My Rating: 5
