I realize this is an extremely noobish question, but I haven't actually seen this covered before. Is it ok to disrupt light cycles during veg, for example removing plants from the grow room during lights off to give a good foilar feeding etc.? Or will this result in problems later on?
Thanks,
YBC

I dont think messing with the light cycle becomes a major problem untill flowering, I guess thats why they always say "Make sure your plant recieves a complete 12 hours of darkness" in all the grow videos.

I mean obiously you want to not inturrupt their dark unless it has to be done, or you could just leave the lights on 24/7 for veg

It's not a problem in the vegetative phase. :)
"The plant will be induced to flowering by decreasing light from 18-24 hours a day to dark cycles of 11-13 hours that simulate the oncoming winter in the fall as the days grow shorter.
As a consequence, it works out well indoors to have two separate areas; one that is used for the initial vegetative state and one that is used for flowering and fruiting.
It is mandatory to keep the dark cycle for flowering very dark with no light interruptions, as any light can stall flowering by days or weeks."
