So last Sunday I did it, I hit the on switch on my timer by accident. Next morning 2 hrs after lights should have been off they were on and the fans and exhaust were all off 90 degrees in the room. Now Saturday lights on obvious signs now.

So question this is my first time dealing with this.

1) week 6 of flower of a 12-14 week Sativa strain.

2) Organic Super Soil

3) HPS 600W & T5 side lighting

So if I leave the lights up will she snap out of it or am I just screwed?

I will load some pick however not sure how well they will look. I will put my glasses over the lense.

They look like they’ll be fine. One question do you usually leave your fans and exhaust on during light off? I leave mine going 24/7 just to keep that good air flow. Anyways just watch her and you’ll be fine.

Quit showing off, yur plants look good. I would actually stress them out more ;)
Haha Hey bro, the pic's dont do the stress justice, if you even touch the leaves they crumble its bad, and this is just the first day of stress sign, im afraid of what the next week is going to bring.

not the entire time they come on in intervals, every 45 minutes for 15 minutes, seems to work fine

90 is nothing especially for 2 hours. it gets over 101 outdoors.
I agree, maybe its something else? I know that plants grown in soil can take up to a week at times to show problems, these plants have been the most beautiful plants.. up until two days ago, and the only thing out of the ordinary that happened was the light left on for two hours longer than it should have, the soil after 11 weeks is still 6.5 only thing. Nothing but water has been added since planting, other than a bit of Molasses a few weeks back and that was only about a half teaspoon to a gallon.

I don't see heat stress. What I see is the plants transpired more from the heat and took up too much nutes and have started to droop, stress, hook and burn.

I would suggest some fresh water for the girls and maybe back off a bit through ripening.

They sure are pumped up big!
That makes perfect sense, I did think along those lines, not sure why I was so dead set on heat stress. Thanks MichiganMedGrower. I have 8 weeks at least left, not sure how long this will set me back. Straight water is all they have had since birth. Straight water it is. Peace :peace:
