Light turned off for 8ish hours! M EFFIN HAAAALLLLPPP

So... I started 12/12 and this was day one and I messed it up already! I have my timer set for 8pm to 8am (on) I checked it out at 7:55 am so that I could say gnight to my girls and it was off. The ballast was cold so it had been off for a while so I assumed that it was turned off since midnight cuz my timer has 8 saved time frames and I guess I somehow set it to the 2nd one that was set from 12 to 12.... Is everything gonna be cool?

sit there and make sure they really go on and off at the right time, its the only way to know. maybe its just ten minutes fast and turned off before you showed up- timers clock might be a little off or different than your watch for example

Will do man thanks. The ballast was cold though. It takes a little longer than 10 minutes for it to be cold to the touch in my experience. Is that once circumstance going to cause long term issues?

It will be alright, no plant problems with just 1 or 2 days of screw ups in timing.

Dark not an issue..just back on schedule..extra light is an issue.

I tend to agree with hotrod! Just dont mess up again... Actually watch the timer,like previous poster said! Physically make sure they come on and off....your mj will be fine.....for now!
Good luck!

your plants are fine mate, aslong as its just not permenant u have nothing to worrie about, cannabis can deal with alot its a weed , for example competing with light,nutes, water and other crap with other plants.it will be fine gl with your grow
