I live in an urban area with a moderate amount of light pollution, could this be the cause of my less than stellar crop last summer?

I prefer to grow outside but from my window I can see more lights than stars.

Your thoughts please. Perhaps a question for next weeks Podcast.

 

Thanks,

Postman

I have a street light in my backyard that definitely hits my plants. It didn't seem to bother them at all, no herms or issues. But I do think that this will be strain dependent.  Autos shouldn't have any issues at all, some Photoperiods will do fine but some may herm or start to re-veg with alot of light at night.  That may be what happened, if they started to reveg a little during your flower period then went back into flower it will hurt your yield for sure.  Sorry for the ramble, its early.  Hope this helps:)

@macky yes some were autos, the were short and scrawny. the Hemp were larger but I wasn't impressed with my first grow.

I had huge plants back in 81 and these seemed small in comparison. I am hoping for better luck this summer.

Oh man, that question could start a small war in the Deep South brother. When I was growing up everything was called a “Coke”. Typical question would be “what kind of coke ya want” and the answer could come back anything from 7up to Root Beer and anything in between. It used to drive my best buddy from Queens absolutely crazy. We don’t use that term anymore in my family tho.
