A concerned gardener

Hi all. I'm a newcomer with a question. Outdoor plants near a streetlight still droop and sleep at night like the ones in darker areas. Does that mean that they are not effected by the light?
Thanks in advance.

They will most definitely be effected by the light. i.e. will not start to flower

Yes,,just remember, if your growing using natures way,,mother nature doesn't have bright lights on poles everywhere screwing up light cycles. If you catch my Drift.

Good question, I always thought they adjusted to it. What about the moon? But ,in reality I have no idea.

If they can adjust to extra light outside, they should be okay from a light leak inside.
I personally have never had a problem with lights. I use to work late and come home,go into my grow room and turn on the lights to water and such and never had a Hermie. The only Hermi i have had was from Bagseed.

It may be a wait and see, yeah the street lights (HPS even in some cases) could interfere but I think it has as much to do with “how much and how much can the plant tolerate” - I’d leave it put in the name of science
