My humidifier has a weak blue standby light. Does this make it impossible for me to use during the plants dark period?

Tape it with electrical tape. If you are growing Autos it shouldn't be a problem, if you are growing photos then tape the motherfucker, any light leaks could stress the plant and turn her hermaphrodite.

Tape over the light if you're really concerned about it but this shouldn't bother any grow of any kind!
Good luck!

Plants Growing Taller Than LightMy plants are growing taller than the LED light! The hanging wires that came w/ the light are now too long; even after rigging the wires so the light will hang at a higher distance. I am using a 4 ft. tall grow tent. How/what can I use to adjust the height of the light?Week 9
