    Default Light bleed

    Hi all, this is my first post in quite a while because moving house meant I could not grow for a while. This is my first indoor grow and I am using a grow tent, I would like to ask you fine people how important complete darkness is when it comes to flowering? Are pin pricks of light ok? Also here is a pic of my girl, she has been topped, is she looking OK?

    It would depend on how intense the light is through the pin pricks, how many pin pricks etc really mate. Could you not just tape over the pin pricks to be safe?
    When you do things right, people wont be sure you've done anything at all.

    The pin pricks are mostly on the zip and the drawstring where the plug goes in, not too many but not practical to cover if I am in there checking it twice a day. I don't think this is a big issue as night time is never 100% black but I would like to hear from folks more experienced than myself.

    I wouldn't worry about it mate, I think a general rule of thumb is if it's too dim to read a news paper then the light isn't intense enough to disturb the plants

    What makes the moon shine at night? Light reflecting back from the sun. Plants are rarely in pitch black in nature, tape up the leaks ya can and dont worry too much about the ones you cant

    NO SELL, NO SMELL, NO TELL!!!
