Hello ,
I realized my lights were off for 3 days because of a breaker problem. They were around day 44 , now they are on day 48 , but now the buds stopped filling in and look thin. Can 3 days without light during flowering screw up the amount of bud growth I get for the remainder of the cycle?
Thanks

Probably will not be positive for bud growth. How do you not notice the lights being off for 72 hours?
 
depends on your total flowering time how big of an impact this will have... a 13 week haze strain less impact then a 7 week.. If there are no bulking hormones in the plant the fruit cant add more weight and begins to ripen... bulking hormones come from light.. so yeah its an issue.. if you have a fast strain youll get some fruit but would be significantly less than what you would have and its probably started ripening

This happened to me 10 days before harvest last year..bad storm knocked the power out,power came back on everything re-set ok.what I didn't know was the day after the storm,the power company cut the power to make more repairs.this time my lights didn't re-set and sat in the dark for 3 days..all my bud turned yellow! Looked like shit but still packed a punch..
