How big is the influence of light shining on my outdoor plants

[Arno89]

Hi guys I havebsome out door plants. Planted a bit early in season. There is a street light a few houses down shedding some light on my plants. How severe is this issue. Thanks in advance for advice

It could possibly hermie the plant as they need uniteruped darkness and shes not getting that.

It also may just not flower at all if there is too much light.

If ur growing autos ull be just fine but if its a photo u could run into issues

My limited experience would indicate that it could be a non-issue. My grow was exposed to ambient light from two sources (admittedly, neither as bright as a street light but both much closer than your light is) all night every night for the entirety of the grow. None of the five hermied.

Of course that proves practically nothing.

I agree with Aloner, over years of growing outdoors, we've grown plenty of photo plants that were in pretty close proximity of some type of light, never had any more hermie from them than the ones grown in the dark woods.
