Light went out 3 x

Starting my first day of flower put my girls down for 12 hours then when the lights came on I added a new light tripped the breaker power went off for about an hour after the lights were on for about 15 minutes went to Walmart ../ thought I fixed it waited till 2:30 AM fell asleep amd then woke up at 830am and the lights were out in my plants down to 40° going to change out the light and put in the old one .. then shut them down until 10 tonight and then I’ll wake them back up wondering if I permanently damage my plants

Extra dark almost never hurts unless it's really excessive, you should be fine. I've had lights go off for two days before I knew the time blew up, I've also had supplemental lighting I added while stoned not get plugged into the timer and run for 3 days straight before I noticed, the latter of the two gave me some nasty growth characteristics I didn't like but I didn't get a seed from it luckily.


Part of it is going to come down to your genetics too, the more stable your strain is the less that any kind of stress will cause it to herm or reveg. I always tell people to think of nature, it's not always clear skies and sunshine, and I know part of the spectrum still makes it through on overcast days but most plants receive reduced light fairly commonly without many issues.

Thank you very much for the info first time doing indoor stuff and fucking up but hopefully it won’t damage and much thanks again for the info and for the peace of mind

First thing you have to do is check why that breaker keeps tripping. May have to run those lights on a seperate circuit if it's getting overloaded.

It’s the surge protector.. i’m sort of in a conundrum I have a 30 amp breaker which it easily handle 2 1000 W black dog LEDs my surge protector however keeps on tripping i’ve bought two different surge protectors one industrial workload and it keeps tripping when I plug both lights into them
I’m running an extension cord from the 30 amp outlet to the surge protector and I’m now on a mission to try to find a surge protector that can handle 2000+ watch without tripping
