ok so my plants are about 3 weeks old and im about to go on vacation. im gonna be gone for 2 days, maybe 3 and i need to know if i should leave the lights on or off because i dont have a timing system :cry: please help me quick!
 
timers a pretty cheap to get.. just run to a hardware store and pick one up. it's your safest bet or get one of your friends to check up on it and turn the lights on and off.. just cause you dont want to be coming home to a dried up plant.
 
and then when you get back you wont have to worry about the lights. It makes it alot easier to go places when you have a timer.
 
I would raise the lights a little higher than usual to account for growth over those few days so you dont burn any leaves
 
i,v been through a tone of cheaper timers,because they tend to fuse the contacts when the lights start up and then dont switch off again grrr!,the pic i posted is a proper greenhouse timer,in my experience your better safe than sorry for a few buks more, its a longterm peace of mind thing:peace:
 
If you're still vegging then just raising the light to accommodate some growth is fine. You can run it 24 hours a day. You really should get a timer though, you're going to need it to flower anyway.
