So I messed up good last night and left 2 23w CFLs on all night or all of the dark period. It's day 6 of flower. Plants are growing under 520w of LED during the day. I didn't notice the CFLs until mid day but just left the light cycle alone since it's so early in flower. Did I do the correct thing? Should I worry? The CFLs are now plugged into the timed outlets and always should have been bit I'm concerned I caused harm.

Well I use them when I water and such since the LEDs are hard to see true colors under. I forgot to shut them off. Simple as that, I'm mad at myself but don't know if there anything that can be done except see what happens.

You would always just leave the light cycle alone. Chances are it's fine. I wouldn't beat yourself up about it.

Thanks man, I'm worried but hopefully it'll work itself out.
I hear ya. I once left the door open between one of my flowering rooms and my veg room. There was a 4 hour exposure about 30 days into flower. I was pretty worried they would shit bananas and ruin my crop but all was fine in the end.

Yeah I wish mine was for a shorter period but it was all night and two bulbs but hey it's early on flower we will see what happens.

I was joking. You are totally fine.
