Hello fellow rollitup members, I am in dire need of help.
I am on here multiple times each day, but have never posted, as I have never needed to.
I have a dire problem:
This is my first grow, I reseaqrched thoroughly prior to growing, along the lines of reading up to 4 hours per day online for a month, now the unexpected has struck and I really dont know what to do:
I have 11 girls, they are 4 weeks and 2 days into flower, 5 are big budda cheese, the other 6 are of unknown strains but appear to be sativa like under observation.
I have nursed these girls better than I nurse my own kids, paying careful attention to nutrients, light patterns, soil, ph, humidity, etc etc etc.
The situation is this:
48 hours ago the power to my growroom was cut, my normal light cycle is 12/12, the lights go on at 6pm and off at 6am.
The power was cut at 4am, and power returned at 6pm, (14 hours)
However I was unaware of this power cut, my timer only runs when there is power running to it, so although the power returned at 6pm, the light will have also come on at 6pm, but only for 2 hours, and then gone into another period of 12 hours of dark.
I only found this out today as I went to my grow room area at 5pm and the light was on!!!
On questioning of my household I was then informed of this 14 hour power cut.
Heres the big problem:
It looks like the light stress has caused at least 2 of my girls to hermie, small ball like growths have spurted out of the lovely thc coated bud.
What am I to do?
I know the options but dont know which is best to go for given my situation:
----------------------------------
1. Kill and dry anything that looks hermie
2. Go on a ball picking mission, anything that looks anything ball like is to be carefully removed (I will happily do this each day for the rest of grow)
3. Stick anything hermie looking in the back garden (live in uk)
4. Just leave them be, let the sacks infect the rest of crop and go on a seed picking mission at the end (dont like this one)
5. Any other options/advice?
----------------------------------------
Also light issue, when I found the grow-room light on today at 5pm, I immediately switched it off in fear of forcing re-vegging, but I am lost as to how to re-initiate my cycle in the best way.
The plants had 12 hours on, 12 hours off for 4 weeks, then due to f**k up had 12 hours on, 26 hours off, 2 hours on, 12 hours off, 6 hours on, and currently have been off for 5 hours.
Please please help guys, I will be frantically logging in here every 60 seconds till I get a reply.
Should I go straight back to 12/12 now and hope for the best (as in 12 hours of light as of now?) I need to reduce the possibility of the others going hermie too...
And what do I do with these potential hermies, the ones showing ball like spurts within the bud?
I will go now and try to get some pix but my camera is pretty poor
Eagerly awaiting your replies....
