Inside your tent you have an incredible strong light shining directly at the walls, zips ect.

Outside your tent you have a weak light source or the sun, shining at weird angles .

There's hardly any photons, if not none getting through from the outside.

It's not really something to worry about.

But you can get in there if you like when lights are off and see for yourself how little light is in there

All my tent vents are open with screen cut out. Lights shining at the tent and holes I cut into the tent. Its fine. It takes a lot of light to produce photosynthesis.

Plus if you grow it bushy enough, all light is blocked where the canopy begins.

People worry about nanners and sacs or reveg I just think those things are too hard to narrow down cause, to blame a tiny light source.

Reveg is different but anyways..

Yea lots of people will complain on reviews when shopping for tents about leaks, I wouldnt worry. Theyre probably just not informed of what we are going over right now.

Leds will shine out a tent due to the insane ppfd compared to a bedroom light bulb. That light doesnt make its way in.

Even if it was a grow light instead of a bedroom light bulb. Its super dark in the tents if you stand in there.

Even if you can see, its not enough to register on a ppfd meter and for plants to photosynthesize when should be resting.

Just my two cents I right off the bat started working with a hermie strain and went down the rabbit hole of how nanners/sacs form.
