It should be fine.. you paid a lot of money for a gorilla tent to be light proofso a regular light was left on outside of tent for 2 hrs after lights out gorilla tent was zipped and all but unsure how much light got through if any did should I worry?
Its true to a point... i have grown plants by street lights and such but the main situation i hear people have is when they put a power strip in the tent and the power strip has a little light on it... they DO have problems hahahaPlants don't need complete dark to flower; ever been out in the woods on a moonlit night?
It can get quite bright out there at night, especially if you are in an area where there are no tall trees, just small bushes or open country.
There is an old internet cannabis myth that light leaks cause plants to hermie.
Bullshit, light leaks don't cause hermies.
I haven't had a hermie for many years, they are not common unless one is growing bagseed, which may have come from a hermie plant anyway.
I read a lot on internet forums about people getting hermies, I sometimes wonder if they are just new growers who when a plant turns out to be male they think it's a hermie.
I have just grown my first two feminized plants, they were freebies, as I don't by feminized plants, and while feminized plants have a reputation for being hermies these one's were not hermies, just like normal regular female plants.

To check for light leaks, you can always wait until dark, put the light on in your tent and close the tent up... If you see any light coming out of the tent, then you know.
Well some of them might not have great genetics to start with and some might be stressing out the plant with noob mistakes ...but i know of many that have had problems with things as simple as a power strip.Nah, I do worse stuff than that, and never had a hermie.
To be honest I'm surprised at this constant talk of hermies, in my experience they are extremely rare.
I wonder if newbies are mistaking the calyxes of female plants for male flowers.
The last time I remember getting hermies, this was over 10 years ago, I bought Amstell Gold from Dutch Passion through Heavens Stairway.
One female and the rest hermies.
I think Heavens Stairway must have been selling rip offs, as I doubt a reputable company like Dutch Passion would sell hermies.

If it just happened once, you should be okI left my tent open by accident when my 600w led was on and fell asleep. I have 6400 k coil style fluorescent Sunblaster over my house plants, on a timer. I work shift work so I keep my apartment dark, blackout curtains etc. The Sunblaster is hung from the ceiling about 2 - 3 feet from the front of my tent. When I woke up my plants in the tent had been exposed to some light (not sure how much, but more than a little), approx 1 to 1.5 hrs from the Sunblaster. The tent door was unzipped all the way but still partially covering my plants. 3 people I asked said I was doomed & to wait a week or 2 to see if they turned hermie. Will exposure to this kind of light for over an hour cause hermies? The reason I ask is its not just a lamp, its a small but powerful flourescent grow light. Help?
