Hey all,
Light leaks .. they cause hermies and are baad, as I understand it from reading a ton of topics. I dont quite get it tho .. in nature, there is no such thing as no light. There is a moon, reflecting sunlight, there are streetlamps, there's light pollution everywhere nowadays.
How is it, that the small amount of light that enters through whatever means, is a problem in a growtent, but not outside ? Does this have to do with the color-temperature of the light entering ? Is there a link to the amount of lumen entering ? Is it a combination ?
When does it become a problem ? Would the miniscule amount of light entering through a slit half a mm wide, cause issues ? Does this story change when it's artificial light instead of direct sunlight hitting the slit ?
Any links or explanation would be great, as I struggle to understand why the moon or my streetlamp doesnt cause hermies ... or does it ?
