Question Do I need absolute darkness?
permalink

I have switched my plants into flowering. My growing space is not absolutely "light tight". Is it true that it must be absolute darknes during "night" period and a little light can ruin my harvest? I would say that there is certain level, at which plant turns from day to night and anything below this level should be OK. But, if this is true, what is such level?

Thanx for advice!

Nauurally the most light that they recieve at night comes from the moon.

When its in the dark period, There shouldnt be any more light than you would get from a full moon.

as long as the light is indirect

your budding plants can stand up to 10% of your flowering light at night. IOW, a 400 watt light and your grow can stand up to 40 watts worth of INDIRECT light.

Think of when the moon is full....its damn bright out there!

later

Sounds very reasonable. It is quite dark in my flowering "chamber", but there are some small holes at corners and there is very little light around - so it seems allright.

Thank you guys,
