Light leak during vegging?

So I have a grow room built. It's 2'x4'x6' with a cealing that can be lowered to 2.5' and 4.5'. The room is also split in half for flowerig and vegging. The flowering side is 99.999999% light leak free. I would say it's 100% but I didn't keep myself locked in there for the full 30 mins it takes for your eyes to adjust to darkness, so you get the point. The other side, the vegging side, leaks a very faint bitt of light. If I run my room at 18/6 will the light which leaks in cause them issues during the 6 hours of dark? I don't want them turning into hermies.

No you won't have problems.

What you'll have is a 24/0 light cycle for veg.........not a problem at all.

If that's the case, I might as well just run the lights in the grow room for 24 hours then.

Also, I should have noted that the grow box is in the garage which is dark 90% of the time. The only time light can leak into the vegging room is if the lights in the garage are on. Knowing this, I can just make it a point to not go in the garage during the 6 hours of dark.

It is not worth the cost of the electricity to run your lights 24/7. imho

A small light leak during veg will in no way harm your plants.

you can't hurt them in veg - not like that
i often turn off a light or two at random times in veg
i run 2 400w mh lamps and one large cfl, 2 fluoro lights and several smaller cfls - lots of experiments lol
i turn off the mhs sometimes 1 sometimes 2 if it gets warm in there or if i'm working for aa long time period in there

i turn off my hps in flower often too work in there as well - 1ooo watts is fairly fucking bright lol - especially when you're on your knees facing a couple...

yeah - no - no worries man
