No, I already did the FIM almost two weeks ago. I switched the lighting over to 12/12. As you can see in my setup the top part of closet are babies that are getting 18/6. If a small amount of light sneaks through into the area of the flowering plants, will it mess it up. No light is actually hitting the plants, but a very small amount of lights sneaks into the dark room. Will they still be able to flower ok?
Better fix that light leak. U r playing with trouble

ya, scrog would be ideal, but he seems pretty green, and thought starting w\low stress training would be easiest, and the most readily available solution. scrog would take some know how and a few bucks.

I would wait for lights on and move plants out and get a marker pen mark the spots.
My tent is in a room and that room is my veg area with a 200 watt cfl so ivmove plants out when watering every month or so and zip my self in the tent but switch the flowering lights off and search for leaks with duct tape.
So far no leaks at all you want the flowering room pitch black and I mean pitch black.
Try and invest for a small tent for the bottom. Get a tape measure and sort it or duct tape it up or you will loose out and be worthless grow.
I water every three days but check for leaks once a month or so lol.

If any amount of light gets into your flowering tent/room its gets into your flowering tent/room it's game over. Even the light from any device thats has an on button and stays lit to let you know it's on like PC fans, computers, heaters, dehumidifier...etc. will ruin your hard work. Only a green light can allow you to inspect your grow, green light cannot be "seen" by your plant. That is the only safe spectrum.
