Anyways he was checking his timers for his lights..he has one 54w floure..and a 250w hps. The 54wfloure is just for side lighting..so he was checking the timers and the 54w floure had a 15min segment pushed down after 3 hours of dark period(the light was coming on for 15mins 3 hours after lights out) This has been going on for 1week. He has sorted it now...

But my question to you is will this effect the rest of the flowering period or will everything be ok from now on. PLEASE NOTE..a few nights ago he said that his plants were droopy, now this guy is in his sixties and has been growing on and off for a number of years and really has never had problems with his grows, so he asked me to see if anyone has any input on here, as he is not very computer savy!!

So any input would be very welcome!

Thanks in advance..

Crying? Really?

But as to ur question, they should be ok. But at 60 yo, your bro should realize there are no guarantees in life... So what if he gets a few seeds from a hermie? Unless he's selling or something :/

Thanks for your reply..
He only grows for his own smoke as he has bad joint problems..and it helps him a great deal with the pain! Hense the almost crying buisness!! It's his medication and he cant afford to buy it. He will be happy with to hear that everything should be ok, i too will be happy as he always gives me a few nugs at the end of his grows.

Just wondering if this has happened to anyone on here!!

Thanks Again Guys and Gals..

Haha, it happens bro... I am so cautious now that I unplug my timers when I can be there to turn on and off... Timers are now just backup for me. Those stupid pins have the tendency to get pushed down if you aren't careful.... It's happened to me a couple times as a matter of fact - no problems.

But the fact is, it depends on the strain. More stable genetics ca handle stress better than others - that's y I say it will "probably" be fine. Besides, one week into flowering is pretty early so I think it will be okay.

if anything he just delayed his flowering for a week, I veg under 12 hours of light with another two hours of light on time twice in the 12 hour dark perod.basicly on at 7 am off at 7pm, on at 12:30am off at 2:30 am.

Hi guys.. Just spoke to my mate and he's happy but a little worried.
He only a few plants and he does not want them to be covered in seeds.
The strains are from GHSC..1 hima gold, 1 Big bang, 1 kalashnikova.. So id
Say IMHO they will hermi as i read that GHSC have dodgey genetics, but hey
lets see anyway.

My GHSC Lemon Skunk is surprisingly stable... I can't speak for the rest 'cause lemon skunk is all i've done with greenhouse

Time will tell mate. They should be fine, I've messed around with one of my plants night cycles quite a bit and she's doing fine.

Yep! they have some stable strains for sure..big bang, lemon skunk,exdous cheese,mody dick,the church,AMS, I know are stable. But kalasnhikova and the Himayalan gold are not!!

Anyway only time will tell. I will let you all know the outcome anyway!! As long as i get a few free nugs, im not worried so i hope he gets some sort of a yield.

Thanks for your input and if anyone else has had a similar accident please do share!!
