DAMN! Timer broke

Sunzen · Apr 10, 2018

My plants are veggin about two months now and I come home to see my timer broke...They've been in darkness for almost 17 hours. Shit. Should I Continue giving them lights on 18/6 at the same time as before or start 18/6 from when I put the lights on today. I'm guessing this type of stress can cause hermies down the road ah?

Any insight is always appreciated! Thanks

Do whatever you feel!
Veg them.
Or put em in flower.
Nothing happened.

17hrs darkness, for one day. I can assure you 99.9999999999%, they didn't notice at all.

Not a problem.
Chill :peace:

I had a timer incident today where my veg cycle stayed on for 6 hours when I thought it was off, nothing you can do about it now, just keep going..

You shouldn't have any risk of hermies and/or many stress related issues if you are still in veg.

Flower is another story.

Are you using a digital timer? I find those tend to crap on more than the $10 analog timers.

I don't see the word "digital" in the op.

I've had numerous mechanical timers take a shit on me over the years I've been growing.

Ive been using timers for about 20 years for lizards / light systems and water pumps and have NEVER had a digital timer fail on me. Using 4 of the same brand at this momemt
