Hello Everyone! I'm new here but have been growing for almost exactly 30 years in various locations. I'm slightly ashamed to say that I've just returned from a 2.5-week work trip and upon looking at my temp/humidity graphs for one of my tents I have noticed a 20 min temperature spike bang in the middle of the dark cycle (ie 5:45 in) every fucking night for 2.5-weeks. It immediately dawned on me (no pun intended) that it must be the fucking lights. Indeed, upon checking my shit fuck timer I noticed that one of the 15 min increments was depressed and the 2 x 300w LEDs have been coming on EVERY NIGHT FOR 15 MINS FOR 2.5 WEEKS, I must have hit it with something while I was rushing to get the room ready for my friends who were coming to check on/water the plants. I flipped the plants to 12/12 on the 15th of Jan, I didn't go direct from 18/6 to 12/12 - I tend to remove 2 hours a day every 5 days for 15 days or so for a more natural transition - then on the 23rd of Jan the light issue begins. I'm growing 7x Cherry Pie x Space Cheese Reg from Mr Toad at Boneyard (amazing genetics, planted 7, got 7 females), 1x BCSC Northern Lights x Sweet Skunk from Proseeds and 2x Bruce Banger from Seedsman (popped seeds on the 10th of November). To be honest, they are all still extremely healthy, they have stretched a fair bit in that time but that might be 'normal'. They smell amazing and are developing flowers (albeit a touch slower than 'normal'). I'm aware that this is a MASSIVE FUCKUP and I'm really fucking pissed, but at the same time, I'm interested to see what's going to happen. I've made a few mistakes in my time but this is by far my greatest. I'm hoping that by correcting the light schedule the worst that will happen will be a delay in harvest by a couple of weeks or so, I'll keep my eyes out for any kind of hermaphrodite type stuff. Fingers crossed. Thanks for reading. Any advice, insults, ridicule or judgement welcome. The first photo is of the temp sensor graph, you can see at 1:45 am the temp spikes. The other two are taken on the 26th and 27th of Jan.
