My light timer failed last night and the lights stayed on for an extra 6 hours before i noticed, also the fan timer didn't fail so it turned off and my temps went up to 110 degrees! Ive went straight out and bought a contact relay but i'm wandering what the implications could be for the plants? I'm 8 days into flower using hempy buckets and the plants are really healthy, luckily, last night i had flushed the plants through with just water and the reses were full and they didn't dry out in the heat. Any insight would be much appreciated!

Just get back to your regular schedule... and tsk tsk dont let it happen again. Your ladies should be ok 6 hours should not have that much of a negative impact. I would keep an extra close eye on them for the next couple of weeks just to be on the safe side. Good Luck
