hello everyone... its my first post kinda paranoid, but i need a little help. i got 3 ladies under 150w hps in soil . they are bout 3 weeks into flower and i screwed up the timer sum how. i know the lights were on for no more then 2 or 3 days. 2 OR 3 DAYS OF LIGHT!!! SHIT!!! what do i do? can i just put them back on 12/12? or am i screwed? are my buds doomed? any advice would be greatly appreciated.
 
Put them back to 12/12. I've had the same thing occur and it didnt totally screw things up. It is stress and it will have a negative effect, just give em some tlc till harvest :)
 
IMO, you may have caused light stress to a point that you may have confused the male/female enzymes and growth/flower hormones. Which = Hermaphrodite
Flip them back to 12/12, and watch like a hawk, watch for pollen sacs in the crux of the buds. You have to harvest early if the case is they do turn by a week or two.
I assume its 8 week cycle??
Where are you at ?? 4-5-6 weeks ??
 
Im never out of town, yet I ONLY check my plants every 3-4 days.

Actually, more of these OCD 'growers' should do the same.:wall:

Put it back to 12/12 and let it ride. Nothing else to do at this point.

Oh yeah, I water about once/week, or whenever the plants need it.

Following schedules, the calendar, or labels on a bottle are for inexperienced growers who have NO relationship with their plants at all.

Wet
 
Sheesh.. so how often do you water 'em?

Flood every 8 hours for 10 mins. 5 plants. 1000W HPS, EBB & Flow tables, with 100Ltr tanks. canna coco nutes, Coco in pots. So only bottom feed.

I fill tanks every 3-4 days, and the ONLY reason I go in there. ;)

And yes my system is PH stable so I have no issues with leaving it alone to do its thing and have done for years!
 
Yeah i would put it back to 12/12 and just keep an eye on it you might need to flower it a little longer since it has to go back into the flowering stage.
 
sorry, was checkin on my babies... lol..thanx ak and eza for ur quick reply... i was in town, the lights go on at 6pm and off at 6am.. for the last 2 days i came home from work after 6 so the lights were already on and i never check them in the morning before i leave to work so i didnt notice that the lights were on. so switch them back to 12/12 and keep an eye on them.. eza these plants have been goin for 11 weeks, 3.5 of these in flower.. i know im slackin but i had a son 2 weeks after these sprouted and they were very lonely for the first month..
