Lighting got fucked up help!

So the night before last the power went out for a second around -11:00 . I went to go look at my plants last night around 10 and found the power was off from the night before. It supposed to go on 7pm and off 7 Am. I fixed the time and it went back on. Somebody was supposed to check this morn if it wen off but didn’t and instead of going off at 7am it stayed on all day until now which is 4 pm. So i had it on go on 7 pm and off 7 am should I just set the timer for that even though its been on all day and 7 pm is only 3 hours away? I have some plants that are in their final stages and some only 2 or 3 weeks into flower. Am I fucked??

You’ll be fine happened to me that’s why I only mess with mechanical timers find em easier for me

Sorry Bro, but it happens. I would Get back to your initial schedule. Power glitches freak me out, So much so that I won't flip unless I am on a battery back up timer. That way when power comes back on, my light schedule is still exact. Watch your ladies closely, some are more forgiving than others. If they want to reveg, it's probably best to harvest early. I hope you can dodge the bullet on this one. Good luck...

I hate these fucking timers they are so confusing to me!

Final stages of What flower or veg? Go back to your regular schedule and cross your fingers. Plants don't just flip or flop so you should be ok. What kind of timer are you using? Ever thought about using a smart plug? If you haven't you should consider it. Then you have control of your light and lighting schedule through your phone and Alexa and Google home. You can monitor your lights to see whether or not they are on from your phone too.

yeah, it seems like every timer sets up a bit differently. I actualy have a folder in my file cabinet for the instructions!

They are all in flower. Some since 4/15! The others I just put into flower 2-3 weeks ago

You certainly have company......" been there done that" a few times over the decades............faulty timer, power outage, someone throws a switch etc..
I think all you can do is keep your fingers crossed, hope the gals aren't stressed out....
think positively, good luck.

Especially when stoned on your ass........enough to give ya a nervous breakdown.

Here's a easy way to control lights, fans, air pumps and water pumps, even a small heater. Each outlet is controlled individually and can handle up to 1800 watts. I wouldn't recommend pushing the wattage, or controlling a heater, but you can use it to control equipment in your grow room easily. No need to keep a manual to know how to program it. It will send you a notification if it goes offline. Since the timer function is done in your phone a power outage doesn't mean you have to start programing and fidgeting with buttons to sync the time. Even StonedGardener can do this while he's stoned. Lol! You can also voice control it from Alexa or Google home.

You're not fucked. It happens.

Like all suggested, go back to the og schedule.

I just went all automated and felt like i was going to have a nervous breakdown during the setup. Right as things got comfortable PG&E came through with a 30hr power outage...

You got this!

I have my living room lights hooked up to them, and sometimes I can't turn them off because my wifi is offline. I wouldn't trust them with my plants.

Thanks man! It’s been a rough go. I got plants that have been in flower since before 4/15 and they still aren’t done( Thai crosses I made) and the new girls. It’s been a headache

Are the two different stages in the same room or different rooms? I used to have too many things on a different program and it definitely wasn't good for the brain or my ability to get away!

I brought clones into my room too quickly before all the upgrades were completed. I had someone assisting with the set up of the fertigation. I had taken a few years off and wanted to take advantage of all the advances.. Of course nothing was done on schedule and my "consultant" dropped all the balls.. I have been hustling playing catch up.
