Hey DGC hope everyone’s 4th of July was awesome.
So I gotta ask, what’s up with the lights off period for feminized plants. I have a couple outside and it’s never completely dark out. I always have light from the moon and the stars and from headlights on cars..
So why is it plants don’t herm outside but people freak out over a small pin hole in their tents. I have a couple cheap tents that I can see a tiny light leak through the zipper. So I’m assuming if light leaks out it will leak in? I’ll have to consult with the inside of my tent. Either way how dark is dark enough. I’ve never done photos before only autoflowers (except for the 2 outside) Take er easy Dude.

I think it mainly has to do with the environment the plants are more acclimated to and also their genotype. I believe they grow up and grow an acclimation to certain regular stimuli they are normally exposed to during both cycles along with the intensity, duration, and spectrum of light exposure. Auto’s won’t be affected as much if at all due to their evolutionary adaption taking place in an environment where they had up to nearly 24 hours of sunlight to deal with. Now with that said, genetics help…lots lol. Preach Guru!
I think it has to do with the relative amounts of light. Outdoors, the day-time Sun is incredibly bright and the relative night-time light is much lower intensity. Indoors, the difference between an LED tent light and potential light leak is a much smaller relative amount, so it matters more for Hermaphrodites.
Yes, if light leaks out, it will also leak in, so keep the lights off in whatever room your tent is in and you should be fine. I would not have my leaky zipper tent in a room that had full on lighting outside the tent during the dark cycle inside the tent.
i watched a you tube video on this but my memory sucks. i think it was dr bruce bugsby.? the light has to be bright enough to read by,it also has to be of the right intensity an constant. pin holes dont bother me or my grows.
Right on man
Yea I’ve watched a few of his videos
Seems like a legit dude
I’ll check it out ✌️✌️
