sounds good, very intrested in the grow journal.

when you are attaching your ducting a good way to stop the light getting in through the ducts is to use a pair of tights LOL seriously though just cut the tights up so you have several tubed lengths and stick them round the ends of the outlets or inlets. this way it still lets plenty of air pass through but very little light. i'd advise doubling up on each vent/inlet or it wont stop much light

Well, keep in mind that it's never "absolutely" dark outdoors.

Moonlight, starlight, streetlight, headlight, firefly light are mostly unavoidable outdoors, so I've often wondered why "total darkness" is "de rigeur" indoors!

#5's are notorious for going hermie if they encounter stresses, they can be VERY touchy and it can be any kind of stress, not necessarily light stress.. A fan on too high and it gets a little too cold, or the lights a little too close... It gets a little to dehydrated... TONS of factors...

Hello good people. Actually I personally flowered years ago, and am pretty much in veg right now...
Hopefully someone will have a definitive answer to my question:
My girls are ready to move to flowering. They're in a small grow room (6'x6'x6') which contains a Mini Cool Cab that I'm using for seedlings, clones and vegging. I've moved 5 ladies (2 White Widow, 2 Himalaya Gold and one GigaBud)out of the cabinet and into the room, under a 400w HPS bulb on a 12/12 timer. At night, when it's time for them to go to sleep, they're getting a slight amount of light spilling from the two fan openings in the cabinet that provide fresh air for the babies.
My question is whether a slight amount of light is going to effect my flowering ladies. Will it delay the flowering? Will it negatively effect flower/bud production?
Any and all help would be truly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
BTW: I'll post some pix tomorrow. They are truly beautiful...
