Something I learned and thought I would past on. If you build a cabinet and have veg and flower seperated by a 1/2 panel and your door doesn't shut completely {Dudes, the box has seen it's better days}. The vent holes you holesawed out for more air have 4" aluminum{still shiney} reflecting the light into your flower side. They really, I mean REALLY have to have there dark to flower, which is what we want? Isn't it?
Well, learned two things today, rather almost 3AM and i have to go to work tomorrow. I can type stoned and I hope someone learns from this.

Yes, the plants in flower must have a complete dark period of atleast 12 hours to induce flowering

If this is interrupted on a regular basis, the plants will stress causing them to either
1. Turn hermy
2. Revert back to vegging

You will have to find a way to seal that stuff up or repair the grow cabinet

aluminized duct is NOT light proof.

it is also shiny inside and out.

spray paint it flat black inside, or buy the duct that is black plastic, not aluminized b.s.

otherwise use pvc 90's to create a light trap, or buy some adorama dark room louvers, or midget louvers from builderdepot.com

Problem solved after I figured out what was going on. Reverting back to vegging isn't a total problem, wanted them bigger anyway. If I decide to build another cab. to replace this one, it will definitely be better.
