Grow tent light leak

Hey guys,

First post here; first grow. I'm doing a 1000 watt setup in the 5x5 Gorilla grow tent. I don't have a dedicated room yet so the tent is actually set up in my 12x10 bedroom. Doesn't leave me much space, but it's only til I move out in 6 months. My question... When I start flowering, is 1 little light leak a big deal? I'm using the bottom flaps for a passive intake and there's no way that some light is not going to get in there. Especially since the tent is in the corner, so 2 of the 3 flaps are blocked by the wall and the only flap I can use is parallel with a window about 5 feet away. I have a pretty dark sun-blocking screen on the window, but some sunlight still gets through. I know a lot of people use tents with a passive intake with those flaps with no problems... So how do you manage the light leak? My only guess was that they close up the flap during the night cycle, but then you lose air exchange? Any help is appreciated.
