Hi folks. Name a HUGE NEWB mistake.
I grow in a cabinet. 2'X4X4. I use 2 150 watt HPS lights inside. I had three plants about 4 weeks into flower. Nice buds forming etc. I tried to give the plant in the middle a little extra lighting so I plugged my veg light (shop lights with 4 t-8 bulbs in them). I plugged them into the non-timmered side of my power supply so they were on for 24 hours. This lasted for about 3-4 days before I noticed the light on at the wrong time.
so.. What now? I am taking the wait & see approach at this point. The t-8 bulbs are pretty low on intensity compared to the HPS so hopefully its like a full moon for a couple/three days?
Damn it! I put them back on the 12/12 a couple days ago & haven't looked in on them. Guess watch for hermie?? Or perhaps it will just add a week to the harvest time? Oh boyyeee...
