So i stay up all night, and the light was suppose to turn on at 6:30 am. I fall asleep just 10 minuites before that time and end up waking up at 7:35 and realizing that the light is off. They are flowering for 2 weeks now. What should i do?!?! I turned it on but should i leave it on for another 12 hours or what? i don't understand what to do. help. Will they turn hermie

O.K. here's the deal 12 hours of uninterrupted darkness. 13 hours fine but you will lose a small amount of growth. Do not interrupt the dark. Its all about the dark.

Do u mean the growth will slow for a day or 2 or the harvest will be a little bit smaller??

For an hour of extra dark, you and the plant won't notice a thing. But as stated, don't screw with the dark. Nature adjusts the amount of light by roughly 2-3 minutes a day.

you would have to constantly give them 11 hours of light for the differential in growth to be noticed. as bbb said

I have a timer but i got a 600 Watt system for this grow and everytime i plug it in, it makes this buzzing sound with this light on... I tried it on different sockets but the same thing happened. I think this house is constructed badly or sumthin. That's why i gotta do it manually. When veggin, i just had it 24 hrs but obviously.... thanx tho

Hey your timer buzzes bcus it's piece of shit timer. I had one like that, then bought a digital one and it's a lot better. Or spend a little more money for a mechanical one and it probably won't buzz.
