Keep it under the light just add the time your power was out to the end of the cycle.

sorry but thats not how it works, its having at least 12 hrs of dark thats important, if he added the times his light was out to the light cycle he's got going now he would be giving them 48hr of constant light.
original poster, dont worry bout it, harvest when your ready, give it 24-36hrs of dark b4 chopping it, light degrades thc(thc is a form of sunblock for the plant, thats one of the reason why it makes thc) and during the night it replenishes it so the extra dark ensures the plant has had time to get the thc levels up to their max level.

Doh ! .... F in reading Comprehension hahaha ... yeah good to hear and confirm that darktime helps mature trich's


I have heard that turing the lights off for several days .. (after harvest ) then putting them back in to long light cycles can cause re-vegging ... just something to consider and watch out for ....... I think they are talking about 18/6 cycle

How many weeks is last week ?

Yeah ... I meant that ... lights out for three days .. then lights back on ... MIGHT .. cause the plant to re-veg .. even at 12/12 lights .. I don't think it will .. just watch for signs of it

I gave her a once over today and she seems to be trucking right along I will be cutting the lights for 48hr Friday night. I will chop Sunday night and put in the dryer for 95-100 hrs and then into Jars on Thursday night after work. Then a 3 day stoned ass weekend. :-) I have to say the timing is nice.
