Fell asleep last night without turning off my lights. They are in 12/12 obviously that's y I'm concerned. I turn on the lights at 12pm and turn them off at midnight every day. I fell asleep
early, and woke up today at 10:00am, to discover that I had forget about them. Is the extra 8 hours of light going to b a problem? Should I compensate with an equal amount of darkness? Or should I just give it 12 of dark n then go back into 12 of light,or actually a little less so I can get back on track of my lighting routine?

Help +rep
don't want anything to dampen my girls chances of greatness lol

This could be enough to stress them. The only thing you can do now is to get them back on schedule. You really need to pick up a timer, then you won't have to worry about manually switching the lights on and off everyday, and thus, won't have to worry about stressing your plants.

Yea, going to home depot for the timer, I figured it would b ok as long as it didn't happen again. And I must say, I have never gotten an answer to a thread so immediately, on this site, ever. Let alone 3 seperate responses. From now on I'm gonna make every thread sound like I made a mistake, cuz when I ask a general question all I get. Is people who say "nice grow".. Lol it's nice and all but doesn't create a solution to anything for me.

But I appreciate the instant answers lol +rep

Why do people insist on not using timers? Are you gluttons for punishment? Do you like to increase the probability something like this will happen?

Am I missing something? Do buds grown without timers have a higher THC content, like 80%?

Glad to hear you're going to pick on up hayzeheaven...you won't regret it. Get a heavy duty one though if you're using it for HID lights.

i think you are ok, unless you do it every other night.

here is the one i use, its 6 dollars at harbor freight. sometimes they are on sale for 4 dollars. they have 2 three pole plugs. i've had a couple in use for over a year and no problems. wal-mart has a similar one for about the same price too.:bigjoint:

I guess I just don't understand y some people waste their time.
