The purpose of 18/6 is to provide 18 hours of sun to 6 hours of darkness. We strive for 6 hours of total dark in a semi sealed tent. Am I right in saying that any light during 6 hours of dark could cause probs. What about the light from the readouts on the de-humidifiers, air conditioners, power strips and such?
Do you need to mask that light also?
Thanks for the responses.

Thanks. I suspected so. I am new and I am checking everything out.
Black electrical tape. Tab one side for easy removal/checking screen-
I have learned the hard way that you MUST eliminate, to the best of your ability, any light when is inside the tent during dark hours. Vents must be closed, readouts and meters off or blacked out, etc.
Small light contamination will not kill your crop, if you are meaning that. It can and often does cause you to have seeds in an otherwise awesome run 🌱🪴🤙🏻
