I cant say its a good thing but as long as light is not getting in during the off stage you should be fine.

i say it's bs, if moonlight would hermie a plant, no plant would grow outdoors.. i have light in my grow, and no hermies what so ever, i think this is greatly exagarated..

I agree with racerboy.
Negative, I grew my indoor Jock horror under cfls in a container with partial open top and bottom just had walls with mirror tint and it turned out fine. I had my mother plant growing indoors in same room as well under 3 4' dual bulb cfls on a 16/8 schedule, and it never gave me any problems. I cant speak for the HPS or MH growers as I dont have that setup but mine grew fine.

I think it's extremely exaggerated as well. I went into my flower room after I heard a noise late at night, and I was surprised to see some light leaking in. It reminded me of moonlight from the veg room. The plant was 2 weeks into flowering. Now it's 6 weeks in and it's looking awesome, no hermie action in sight. No light at all would be great, but a tiny bit cannot hurt the plant. I just don't believe it.

I also think it is highly exaggerated but you should still try to seal it up, there is no proof of this so you shouldn't rely on it, after all we are growing in different conditions than the outdoors, so just don't be lazy and seal it all the way. If you find that is very difficult to keep out tiny leaks, you should be fine, I just wouldn't make it a habit.
