Would this be ok? I have to go out tonight at like 7 and lights dont come on till 8 but i need to water em! Their being harvested in 3 days sooo would i be better off not watering at all so 5 days without water then harvest(normally need water every other day) or reducing light cycle by an hour so i can water them one last time.

i think he was asking if changing the light schedule by an hour would hurt the plants 3 days before harvest. i dont think it will be a problem just make sure you keep 12/12 going..if you wish to keep lights on

I have used a lighting schedule for a couple grows now that seems to actually help the yield. Lower the light 2 hours just before harvest making it 10-14. It increased the size of the buds compared to the grow before. I'm not sure if 3 days is enough, I usually do it 10 days prior to harvest. But what I'm taking a long time to say is that, no, you won't have any problems. Especially for that short of a period of time. So go ahead and change the lighting schedule to either keep it the same time on but change WHEN it comes on by an hour, or just turn your lights on to water then go back to your normal on-off timing. A single time doing this, and this close to harvest shouldn't stress them very badly at all.
