It has to do with those genetics that are prone to hermaphroditism and the fact that cannabis *is* photoperiodic.So i was talking with a friend who told me the whole "you must have a 110% light proof chamber and not disturb plants during dark cycle of flowering" is pretty much a myth. His basic reason was moon light, which made total sense. In a natural environment plants are going to be exposed to SOME light during the 12hr dark period, outside it is never truly 100% dark at night.
He said he has also taken plants out of flower and put them back into veg without any issues.
So i ask you all, what is the deal with having a light proof chamber for the dark time in flowering? Mine is like 99% but there are some tiny seems between the zipper doors that let in minimal light (which i will probably cover up with some plastic sheet). I haven't really been able to find any hard evidence why people keep suggesting this, only thing i see mentioned here and there is that stressing plants can cause them to hermie, which obviously none of us want.
Hermaphroditism, and going back into vegetative growth phase when you're trying to flower them out. I keep forgetting to write up that new thread on the phases to watch out for.So do you think people get a little carried away when they say it MUST be light proof? I can understand not wanting your veg lights to bleed into the bloom room because they are strong as hell...
What exactly are the negative consequences of light getting in during the dark period?
IF damn near the entire growing world say it causes hermies then that's is hard enough proof for most..,,So i was talking with a friend who told me the whole "you must have a 110% light proof chamber and not disturb plants during dark cycle of flowering" is pretty much a myth.
