Light leaks question

I had forgotten that my mini tent had some small fissures ,like small dots sized or pinholes ,through which I can see the light inside.There aren't many ,and most of them are around the upper corner ,at the seams.Probably due to the tent being assembled and disassembled many times......it has stretched the seams.

The tent is in a closet ,which door I sometimes leave slightly open ,so that the fans don't circulate the same air in the closet over and over again.

So far I wasn't worried ,because I only did autoflowering strains ,for which light leaks aren't so important.

Now I sprouted a photo strain (NL x BigBud) ,and I'm not sure whether it could be affected by the pinholes allowing some daylight to enter.

I will however ,try to cover as much as I can with small pieces of duct tape ,but I'm not sure I'll get them all.

Are these dot-sized holes likely to cause a hermie?

I'm sure some folks will say yes, but I believe if you have stable genetics the chances of hermie's is low to nil, even with slight light leaks.
