Flowering timer didn't turn on lights?

Hey my timer didn't turn on my lights this morning. I just started week 3 of 12/12. The lights were off for an additional 4 hours. So I need to make some adjustments or should just let it ride and stay with the current 12/12?

Being off too long is typically not an issue, unless it is for days, its interrupting the dark cycle or exceeding 14 or so hours of light. Even then you should be fine if it doesn't happen more than once or twice. Just resume your normal cycle.

Not to be redundant but SOOOO much better than other way around , although a few hours either way is not a big deal. Ladies are sturdy and can take
a fair amount of abuse, mostly man made :)

Nice looking grow and good luck
 
The plants look great man and if they dont turn on the is no harm done its only when light gets in during their down time that issues start. keep growin man

Thanks Riley! I think after this grow I may try differents lights just to get a comparision. Even though I think my results so far are good with the CFLs.

Yes, So I have heard. But I started this just to see what I could do and kept the budget low since it was just a experiment. But now I see how things are growing I'm very interested in try the different lights, again just to see what I can do with them. I am really getting into this now. I've gone from 4 plants to 15. I even got my MMC. So yes, it's getting exciting. Can't wait to finish flowering the first batch.

My two cents are that MH and HPS can not be beaten...
but $$ is involved for sure
I’m in the process of testing this theory right now. I had HPS and MH on my last grow. I just switched over to all LED. I have same strains in the room and I’m starting week 5. I can’t tell if they colas are bigger, but they definitely have a lot more frost on them than the MH/HPS I was using. I suspect it might have to do with the fact that the LEDs are full spectrum.
