    12 hour dark period and the moon

    I'm an indoor grower. I never have interrupted the 12 hours of darkness because I know the risks.

    I wonder about growing outside and the super bright full moons we all get once in a while. Isn't this an inruptrion?

    It's not. Compared to the full sun of daylight the moon light is nothing. Only in closed rooms with relatively little light during the day you have those issues with contamination lights during the night

      I've grown a bit outdoors. Moonlight is the wrong light spectrum and doesn't cause issues for photoperiod plants. And, apparently the same goes for street lights and the neighbors yard lights. None of those have ever given me issues either

          I'm rather new to this house and now in a neighborhood. Right across the street pointing at my house is a super bright street light. I was thinking about it last summer when i had my outdoor girls in the backyard, the street light streams over my home into half of the backyard. I did'nt have a single issue with a hermie i'm not concerned about it now at all. Of course it's not directly shinning on them but half my backyard has abit of light. Doesn't bother my peace of mind indoors either.
