Can anyone help me,
This is my first time doing this. I am growing 4 plants in the backyard. I live in a townhouse complex and one of the other units on the end has a led lights for safety in the complex.
My plants are in 5 gallon buckets so durning the day they are in the middle of my yard and at night I move them to beside the fence so that there is no actual light on them.
I am wondering if that will still work when the plants starts to flower? The plants them
Selfs are in complete darkness(no light touching them) but there is still a big bright patch of my yard about 5 feet away. Will this be ok or do I need to figure something else out?
Please help and thanks

It will depend on the intensity of the light reaching the plant. A Photometer will be your best tool to see what the light level is where the plant will sit. If the level is less than that of a typical full moon, you should be OK. Black netting might block it from reaching the plant and causing problems during flwering.
You could always put a piece of green cellophane over your neighbor's light!! They would LOVE that!! :)
