In general it's more about the regular cycle than anything else that will affect the plants. Changing the amount of light (in terms of time) back and forth will just confuse the plant. Some residual light from house hold lights wont be anything more than twilight to the plants at best. That going on/off at the same times every day will just be normal to the plant. It wont be much of a problem either if it's not at the same exact time each day, the plants will just think it's cloudy.
Do you need a dedicated area now? I am not exactly sure about this question either. How big is a dedicated area? What defines a dedicated area?
I don't see why not, it's done all the time. A lot of people even have plants on their desk (even hydroponic plants). It just depends on how you set things up that makes a difference. |
You got the question right , thank you . I might have been a bit long winded in asking , apologies. You answered the question though. I just was not sure if I needed a totally dark space.
