When i water my plants its when the light is off and the plant is asleep(its the only time i can get up to feed my plants).I have to turn my light on just for a couple of minutes to water my plants and was just curious will this have any effect on the development of my plant?Thanks farmers.

how would you feel if when you were asleep someone turned on bright lights and made you eat dinner and go back to sleep?

feeding is fine during the night cycle - the light may be stressing them out a bit...

look into getting a green spectrum globe - this will not interfere with the plants dark cycle...

here's a quote from the bible:

Without consistent dark periods of sufficient length, cannabis buds elongate and grow looser. Every time the dark period of the flowering cycle is interrupted, there is a slight loss of flower-growing time and thus of yield. A spate of light interruptions of the dark cycle may also stress the plant to the point that it becomes hermaphroditic.

I still say if it's a female it'll stay a female even if you screw with the lights....
some yield loss...no big deal really

screwing with the lights with a hermi though...and yeah...it'll hermi on ya all right.
No doubt about it.

Light interruption in vegetative stage is no problem. Constant light interruption in flowering will slow or stop flower initiation. An occasional interruption is usually OK, but continued, repeated, exposures in the flowering period is not advised.
