    Just discovered lights aren’t completely shutting off! YIKES

    Have no idea when or how this started. We are in week 7 of flower, tent is doing great. We have a 4x4 tent, with 2, Mars Hydro LED TSL 2000 lights. Both lights are plugged into a power strip, and that strip is on one timer, so both lights turn on & off at the same time for 12/12. Late last night, I went down to look at my veg tent, and noticed a VERY dim light in the flower tent. You have to look up under the light to see very faint, dim light. Only on one light. I believe it’s causing some re-veg, because I cut down a few branches to hang and smoke a week ago, just to test out the grow. Yep, I found a seed. Is this going to ruin the whole harvest? We have no idea if it’s been like this the whole time or now.
    any ideas why that one light is like this?

    Here's a common problem. Have someone knowledgeable in electricity to check for stray voltages on the neutral line. Run a long heavy duty extension cord to another outlet, on a different breaker, plug timer and lights into that, and see if you can note a difference. One duplex bleeding anywhere on the line can cause the whole circuit to have ghost voltages. Also, the timer itself could be the bleeding culprit. Cb-Ng

      I will try plugging them into another outlet. I think your right though about the timer. I ended up plugging that light into another timer. On another outlet. It seems fine. Tonight when it really gets dark, and the lights are off, we will see if we’re getting any light from that side, and try that other timer with the power strip. Stay tuned….

    Dbdigger Keep your eyes peeled for seeds to appear: if they don't get 12 hrs total darkness during flower, it can cause hermied plants. It happened to me once. It won't ruin the bud--I got very good bud out of the grow--so don't despair.
