I dont see it as a problem tbh, star light and moon ligjt exist in the wild.

I find this interesting as even though there is obviously light from the moon outside does that mean the moon light is not a leak? i.e. we don't really know what effect this is having and in the wild it wouldn't be a problem if the plants got seeds as that is mother natures plan no?



Probably better to rule out the leak if possible but I would certainly ignore pin holes in the tent stitching (for me at least as my grow is in a dark loft most of the time anyway).

On the same subject does anyone know if it needs to be a constant light leak or would say a flash of light (from a torch, camera flash etc) cause the same issues as a 'more constant' source of light?

literally answered my opinion on this as you posted your post. I think the introduction of a new source of light during flower would be a issue, but a constant source of light through not so much. How does a plant know what is pitch black from a tent or a night sky with a moon in it. Also how much variation is there in a full moon to a cloud covered evening.

You can bookmark your own threads or any treads you like, or have I got my wires crossed?

Yea but I have to remember to do that as well - not got a problem with subscribing to other peoples threads or just bookmarking something interesting etc. but still think the default should be that you are automatically subscribed to your own threads and you can then unsubscribe if needed. Just my 2 cents.

Lots of great answers here. A full moon at it's brightest only it's the ground at about 200 lux. That's nothing :) Trust me it doesn't take a lot of light to upset things. Pin prick holes probably won't do a lot buy opening the door and letting a dim light flood in might.

Just pop a bit of gaffer tape on the holes. If you want something a bit better, you can buy a patch kit online for a few quid. I think Secret Jardin sell one called "patchit"

Cheers for your reply...

I'm just waiting for a new tent to come back in stock, so i may just hold fire and veg it out for a bit longer.

You might be waiting a while as there's a bit of a shortage in the UK. If you want one now Hydrogarden are still shipping lighthouse tents. They do a cheap and a quality version. They pretty good too. And you won't hear me say that about many hydrogarden products

I really wanted the budbox white, but I was disappointed in the quality, poor powder coating on bars with some bars already rusted on arrival. I've heard good things about the GQ tents but most retailers still recommended budbox.

Greenqube are great tents. A few growshops I've visited have complained about having a few mistakes like missing poles and defects like zips broken and other things but I think you're going to get that where ever you go.

Budbox are normally pretty good. You may have received old stock maybe or one that has been stored somewhere damp for quite a while? TBH, GreenQube, budbox pro & lighthouse max are all pretty similar.
