Nobody missed anything...your buds will get ruined.
They might still be worth harvesting but you could lose a good amout of weight considering most swell up in the last couple of weeks.
They go into like a shock for awhile and dont grow at all.
Everyone thinks im trying to reveg and keep thrthe 6 week flowering plants so yea they did miss somethinh

I would finish the first batch while regularly supercropping and topping the new smaller plants hard.
This way they stay short, with a dense wide canopy and lots of bud sites on strong stems. Throw them into flower when they are ready.
In the meantime make a box or tent for the small plants.. Vegging plants can take light leaks and disturbances, so it doesn't need to be perfect.
With a perfectly filled canopy, you will pump up the yields next round.. Separate veg and flower spaces double the amount of weed you can grow.

I had a timer for whatever reason stop working about 45 days in for almost 3 days. The lights never shut off. They stopped filling out, potency was a huge miss and smell/flavor was different from many years of running the same cloned plant. This is just 3 days of not getting a dark period, yield was less than half of what I was expecting. This had a negative effect on finishing time and I ended up leaving them another 2 weeks before I figured that was as good as it was gonna get and harvested. EDIT I left them another 2 weeks passed the usual 9 week grow cycle is what I meant to say. Even at almost 80 days in they never fully ripened and again this was a consistent 60-65 day finisher.


Finish them. Been growing them for what, 3+ months now? Dont waste that time. Your seeds wont stink or need any intense light for weeks anyway, so you could still start them now if you have a window sill, small t5 led cfl etc. First week or so they could sit in the middle of a room and still sprout properly.

Go ask for empty boxes at the grocer... start, with what you can get... it will help you build a gameplan for material improvements

One of my first stealth grows was with an old metal halide from some guys barn that I grabbed on a yard sale, and 2 big tv boxes. This was almost 30 years ago so not tv boxes like today, like old projection box tvs that you could make a fort with.

Yall are misunderstanding i have 2 groups of plants the short ones that i was planning on 12/12 from seed then the 6 week flowering plants which are big i can careless if those herm on the final weeks or reveg on the final week because i would be harvesting those completely nanners that late in flower would cause no issues not sure how u guy missed that the bud would be near finished no seeds will be even be able to form that late in flower by the time they do stress if they do nanners dont grow over night takes a while for a plant to react im well aware of the risks but that is meaning less that late in flower and close to harvest my main question is will the flowers from my big plants still finish add weight trichome maturation for the last 2 weeks or even a week under 18/6 the only ones im keeping around are the short ones which my goal is to reveg those asap because a few have started showing sex
You don’t get it. If you reveg before you buds are mature, you’re going to reveg all of the bud. The swell occurs during the last 2 weeks. If you interrupt that, you have nothing. Don’t reveg until after harvest time.

Go ahead and ruin your crop, though. I don’t mind laughing at you, since you think you know everything.

Are the plants too big to pick up? If you can, take them out of the light at twelve hours and leave it going for the others. Its more work but its only twice a day for two weeks

No. his dumbass actually does understand that. And that was his point.

You can't run two separate cycles under one light regimen. The fact that this thread is already to page 2 and you still don't get it speaks volumes.

Thought Bout that but they are 12 plants big lol too much work and will fill up my room
If you have 12 full size plants, plus younger plants, then you have room to split your setup into veg and bloom spaces. if you can't afford to light up a veg room, get A19(Ecosmart @ Home Depot) daylight bulbs and remove the diffusers.

Not ideal, but it will get you through till you can afford a proper veg light.
