I show you an example of 1 foot candle of light inside a 2x4 foot gorilla grow tent. This is how much light it takes to throw your cannabis plants back into the vegetative stage of growth from flowering.
Hey man if I had a light on by accident on the exterior for 4 hrs before I realized it and shut it off will I be ok
I just got told good luck with my Spider Farmer tent, that it will have light leaks because it's a Chinese tent... and I chose it over Gorilla Tents for their history of weak zippers and ,,,,yes, light leaks.. thanks for posting this video.
An easy rule of thumb I've used is: is there enough light to throw a shadow on the plant?
I've grown on a balcony and had re-vegging resulting from lights inside hitting the plant at night. Being attentive to curtains dealt with that. There's always some ambient nighttime light in the city where I live. If you can see a shadow on the plant when you wave your hand - problem. If not, you're OK in my experience.
Good to know. Thankfully I'm a rookie grower and went with autoflowers for my first grow. I think it's nearly impossible to give them too much light unlike phenos. But I'll remember this when I swap to growing phenos for sure. Thanks!
Autos and photos.
That was a hell of a light leak.
Doesnt explain light leak, doesnt explain wtf he's doing or trying to simulate. I learned nothing other than how to do shadow puppets in a grow tent...

What have you used to cover the leak? I thought tape would be a easy solution, but I’ve also heard just a dab of wood flue over the hole will fix it?
so what do you do? duct tape doesnt stick basically the zippers all leak light having this shitty tent is really worse that they should do what they say.. Any advice on what to use for light pollution?
i had the bottom of my door open and left for the night. all it got was one morning worth of light leaking into the tent, but it was just about 5 hours worth. will this ruin all my plants then or is it ok? how long the light leak happens and the severity. might be nice to know
what happened?
How about a one time 5 min light 💡?? 2 weeks in ??
Yeah jus happen to me cause somebody left the door open. Eerrr I'm so mad
@@dmo848 Did it die?
what about pinhole leaks? Not significant enough?
@No Body Who turns the moon off if photos can't have any light?
@@Rizik1986 yeah good point... wondering that myself. a pinhole that doesn't even reach your plants vs the moon, i'd say the moon beats that by 1000%. (fudging those numbers but meh)
@@ThatHippyDuck We need someone like Migrow to do a scientific experiment to see how much par/ppfd is too much for a photo plant during it's dark period to truly know how much is too much. I grew my first plant, an auto just because I knew I can't provide a solid dark area for 8+ hours. But I would love to get the #s so I can see if it's actually feasible for me. I use emergency mylar blankets as my grow tent. Outside of the blankets with my lights on my PPFD is less then 10. Lights out it's zero. So I wonder if that is good enough. What scared me from trying is folks talking about pinholes being enough to mess up a photo so I haven't tried it yet.
