Maybe you can look else in your house for another grow space. There's nothing that can be done about keeping light out of with those bi fold doors. I've tried arctic king seals, aluminum tape etc, you still need fresh air to move in and exhaust air out and so on . There's too much work to be had with this closet. 95% blocked light isn't good enough for flowering..

I have no idea what you're talking about
Lol the closet was the only option, and it was more like 98% light, anyway. They seemed to be doing fine, they were all females somehow, but I had to get rid of them anyway. My dad got paranoid I'd get caught. Oh well. Next time I'll use a grow tent

light leaks are NOT as dangerous as people think. Remember...outdoors plants flower even when theres a full moon lighting up your grow space/yard.
if your light leak is as intense (or less) than a full moon at night then you'll be fine.
Its funny how indoor growers usually think you shouldn't be able to see your hand infront of your face or you'll get hermies...not the case. also it matters on the strain you go...if its a sativa or a sativa dom plant its more likely to hermie..indicas usually have a harder time going hermie. something ive noticed over the past few yrs growing.

I got here here way late I see, try using towels next time. They should work well on those doors b/c you just cram them in and can still close it all the way.

I know dude :/ there was only four weeks left
That's what I was thinking... if the moon doesn't fuck up plants, why should the ambient light from my computer monitors that just happens to make its way into my closet do any harm?
