turn off your light for 12 hours everyday or
you will use an automatic timer. If your light
comes with a timer set the timer to do this.
Throughout the 12 hours of darkness it is best
to keep your grow area as dark a possible. A
small desk light at the other side of your room
will cause your plant not to react properly to
12/12 which will result in continued vegetative
growth. In fact any light that penetrates the
darkness will stop your plants from flowering
properly. That means that your grow room must
be sealed to the point where it is completely
light proof. If you want to learn how to do
this perfectly then I suggest that you read up
on 'Photography Dark Rooms', either on the
Internet or in your local library.
Photographers use common items that can be
bought in most hardware shops to make their
film-processing rooms light tight. If you can
replicate their ideas (basically a thick black
screening around the doorframes or any open
light points) then you will have a great system
for flowering plants in. I think most of you
would have done this by now anyway if you
listened and took the advice on covering your
grow with either Mylar or white walls/boards.
