glowing door compensating stealth

I'll keep that in mind. If night time stealth becomes an issue I'll probably buy the plastic. Until then I'm too lazy and also don't want to put something black in there to take away from how reflectively white the growbox is.

go to a hydro store and get some polly, its blk and one side and white on the other its a reflective material that dosen't allow the light to escape and its onlt a few bucks

You can use the poly like suggested above, but it costs about 5x more than the black plastic. With the black plastic, there is only like a couple inch strip that is not "reflective white". It shouldn't cause any issues. And if you want to get crazy, spray paint the black plastic white. Or just use the poly which will block light, plus will be reflective.
And as far as night stealth, what happens if you want to get laid one night?? Growing pot is great and all, but sometimes you just need little sumpin sumpin, if you know what I mean. Or what happens if someone unexpected comes over at night? You should have complete stealth no matter what the time of the day.

Mainly I want stealth from when apartment managers come over for maintenance or whatever, which is rare and during the day. My sumpin' sumpin' needs are satisfied by ones indifferent to my growing exploits. left hand, right hand, peanut butter, etc.
