I'm having issues with light shining through one of my vents

[NORMANREH]

So I thought I had it figured out and I didn't but I need to find out what I can use to cover my vents up so the light doesn't shine through.
If anybody has any ideas can you please help me?

I made six inch vent covers for my lower air vents that allow air in but not light and four inch for my upper vents. That what you are referring to? I rarely use the four inch vents.

I use 4” dryer duct hoses in my input vents. If you put about a 180 degree bend in the hose, light won’t get in. I have also run the hoses into a cardboard box with holes on both ends. I used to cardboard box as a ‘drying chamber’ where I hung my trimmed branches. That made the stink from the drying buds go thru my tent so it gets filtered by the carbon filter.

Dude go inside room/tent when lights off and stay inside for at least 5 minutes so your eyes can adapt in darkness and check everything out. Kitchen absorber hood or filter I don't know it's correct name solved these problems for me. Use a black spray to paint it and voila!

Black RTV (silicon) for the small spots that come through the sides
and let dry good it stinks.

I found that the duct tape even Gorilla blk tape would not stick well for me, the heat dried it up and caused the edges to curl and then fall off.

Be careful if you wrap it up to hard and it engorges
Very difficult to remove to release the built up pressure.

I remember my duct tape days
I had a chick who loved to be taped to the wall and shared
by all the club members while taped to the wall.

While using duct tape to make things was a big deal in the 80’s like wallets etc I am not sure it makes a good condom

I have had 90 deg elbows bend the light inside the tube and still shine in.

Well nobody explained that

I was going to add the painting blk part but was afraid I would be breaking some eggs

I stand corrected I see he was talking duct hose not pipe fittings

I use a 25' run of ducting curled in a roll on top to stop light travel for intakes During lights out which will work with them on.
