Should I be concerned about the light from my timer affecting my grow?

So you see the dreaded affects of light leaks on peoples gardens and it got me thinking, especially as my ladies have gotten closer to it, do I need to cover the red digital display on my Sentinel MDT-1 timer? It is located inside the cabinet in the upper compartment. See thread Massive cabinet in my sig for case details.

Dug up a pic for lazy people

Cover it just to be safe

Here are the pictures I was refering to. How about the green lights from the fan controller?
I had originally wanted to put it outside the cabinet to set it, check temp, time but it works out much better for stealth inside.

i wouldn't sweat it personally.. i like to think of how things are in their natural environments.. so when bud grows in the outdoors, you have moon light and stars and other things like that.. i know that sometimes in the fall, the moon can feel almost as well light as the sun, so i don't sweat lil light leaks indoors.. i have all sorts of small light leaks in my grow, and also have a light on my plug as well, and in over three plus years of growing, never had one hermie...

a little black electrical tape should fix any worries

I agree with the person two posts up. In nature it is never 100% dark outside so a few pin hole light leaks here and there arent going to do much. Unless you are using an HPS light to light the inside of your house...and then disregard everything i just said.

I was actually leaning towards the side of this to ne o.k. also. due to there are stars and such. Isn't green light a 'safe light' seen them use them in the grow rooms when the lights were off. Anyone else use this kinda light to foilar feed ect when the lights are off?
