Yes that might affect your flowering cycle a bit. I had the same problem with my first grow and it added about 3-4 weeks to the flowering cycle.

im flowering now 12/12 under 250 watt, gonna start MG Bloom Booster 2morrow....the leaks are 1/16 wide around the edges, an the most a 2 inch gap between the doors, but the doors overlap each other on the inside, i did have a giant fleece blanket hangin over the closet but i think that was my temperature prob. i was at 93 now im at 86 an would like to get down to 80....my first indoor grow sorry for the questions, any other way besides ice cuz id have to buy a bag a day lol
