how far away are we talking? what kind of porch light?
It's a large "dust to dawn" light that covers the whole side of the yard, like a half-acre or so and we can't really control it (there's no light switch for it). The top tips of the plants are getting the light on the outskirts of the beam. The majority of the plant is in the dark.
Yeah unfortunately it sounds like that will definitely cause you problems.
I meant to say "dusk" not "dust"
Dang, their whole life they're dealt with this problem. A tarp would work, I just need to set the alarm for 7 a.m. to take them out and put them in the sun. Seems like a lot of work with 5 plants, but they're in flower now so I'm on the downhill stretch.
Hah, didnt even notice...I meant to say "dusk" not "dust"
Since that trailer park moved in next door, we installed this light and it's at the top of the house- way too far to put a bag over and would defeat the purpose of the light. It's also outside my bedroom side of the house so I can keep an eye out. Tonight imma look around the property and see if I can move them to a dark spot. I hate that I have to get up extra early to move them to sun, but I'm in flower so I don't have a whole lot of time left with them anyway. Thanks for the suggestions!
You don't have to get up extra early. I've been tarping mine and the wife usually gets up earlier than me so takes the tarp off around 9am and it goes back on at about 9pm. Haven't even been tarping it lately and it's been getting down to 40F at night. She don't seem to mind and is budding up nicely. Growing in the ground so can't move it. 4.5' tall and not stretching hardly at all. Will be putting clear plastic around that frame for when it snows or we get frost. Heater and fan inside it on the real cold nights as it has about 5 - 6 weeks to go yet. Hi-CBD girl with less than 1% THC.
That's what I'm growing is the high CBD strain. Can't help but wonder how good the weed would be as smoked but I made a commitment. I put mine in a canopy at night. So far, I've been able to move them.You don't have to get up extra early.

Smoking is the most wasteful way to consume your meds. I only toke small amounts of THC strains in my pipe but the hi-CBD ones I make into fresh infused cocobudder. Just a light trim to take off anything without sugar on it and into the freezer it goes fresh off the plant. So much easier than trimming, slo-drying and curing buds for bag appeal.
