An extra hour or so of darkness isnt going to hurt them.

i would highly recomend a timer won't have this problem ever again try a fan first r u growing in a closet or what

yeah im growin in a closet and no sorry i think having a timer is pure lasiness yeah i have a fan and ii can only have the door open to the closet during the certain time of day so it gets some good air

lol come on man get a timer, what if your away from the house for a night or something comes up and you cannot make it back to put your girls to bed? I mean if you have a timer you can still switch it on / off by hand, but use it as a back up for when you forget or are away from the house. its not pure laziness... far from it, its automation, some people have more than one room or 2 plants man, some people still work a 8-5 job, so your thinking is way off base.

Yeah man,

I tried it with no timer for about three weeks. Not anymore. I work from 6am to 2 pm and 4 pm to 10 pm. There is no way I can be around for a proper 12/12. Get a timer, the weight will be off your shoulders. We do not create this technology to be lazy (although it comes with the territory), we create it to be more precise.

well if anything ever comes up than ill get someone to do it for me i dont wanna waste money on what i dont need i have a small budget u know wat i mean???? and sorry u guys its juss my opinion and i do understand that u other wise can not do ti without a timer but for those who buy it juss to buy it because they dont want to than thats pure laziness i dont NEED it so i wont use it

if you keep messing up the light cycle your plants will hermie, 10 bucks is a small price to pay...

nah i got it under control i wasnt thinkin bout what i was doin and i been checkin them everyday cuz thats what i been thinkin to and their doin fine sorry i dont use timers like everyone else i juss aint that lazy to waste money on suttin so useless to me i have my own body and my own brain i dont need a fukkin robot to shake my dick after im done pissin or a lil machine to hit the lights when i have fingers

Yea i guess you got a point, if your always gonna be home there is no "need" for one, but multiple light schedules (ie: what your doing, cause you do not have them on a timer) will stress your plants out, it might not make a huge difference or hermie them but it will stress them none the less. Just thought i would let you know most places have times for around 5 bucks, not a huge amount of cash (a pack a cigs...). Also, you will find other uses for this timer, its not like your wasting your money i use one lights, fans, fishtanks, fruiting chamber (mushroom cultivation), just to name a few..

an other thing i like to add i dont think it would be hermie so much because when it turns dark outside there still light and during spring the days get longer and longer everyday meaning that all marijuana plants outdoors would go hermies since there light schudule is being fukked wit everyday and than the days get shorter all is i will not get a timer unless i need it and my temp is fixed

the pnly reason i would be using it would be for my plants and thats juss a couple of light

500 posts for me =D i do not mean any offense by what im saying u guys is juss my opinion so plz dont take it the wrong way

I understand, just wanted to let you hear were I was coming from. Personally I have numerous timers that came with CraigsList purchase of hydro equipment, so i never had to buy one outright. Keep doing what your doing and you will be fine, just hope nothing extreme comes up that keeps you away from your babies. I just wanted you to take some precautionary steps to make your crop survive if anything was to happen.

THNX for caring and btw i do have a timer lol but it was for backthan when we used to go on vacation and we wanted to make people think we were still here so no one would break in

Uhh not really considering sunrise/sunset only changes about 5 minutes a day and it takes quite a long time so it doesn't stress the plant..

It is science, pure and simple. Everyone knows someone that has thrown a couple seeds next to the porch and the next thing you know, there is a plant. It will probably continue to grow left on its own and nothing bad happens. This site is about maximizing your investment in time, energy and equipment to take growing to a whole new level. Laziness has nothing to do with it. I have 4 timers. One in my veg room that controls the lights. I have 3 in my flowering room. One controls my HPS light, one controls my CO2 gauge and one turns my fan & carbon scrubber on and off. If I had to remember what to do when I would spend all my time running up and down the stairs. I also wouldn't be able to leave and go to my job and have a life. By controlling the envoirnment with timers I am able to visit my ladies 2x a day, check & spritz clones, make sure all is well and enjoy the experience of knowing that these timers are on my team and are valued contributors to the end product. Anyone can grow some OK bagseed. I grow Chronic, and I need timers to help me. I tell all my plants - Be all you can be! It is my job as the grower to see that the they get what they need. After all, there is also an issue of pride in looking at the end product and saying - Hell Yeah, I grew that Chronic!
