either will be fine but lettin em sit in the dark could speed things up a bit
just go thru the next 2 cycles in the dark then turn the lights on rythm should resume

i swear to god some of those companies producing timers should be kicked in the balls in the last 4months ive personally had 3 screwed timers, and i dont mean 2nd hand or old ones. think i'm gonna go hunting for a reputable company and c if i can track sum decent ones down, even if they cost a bit more it sure as shit would be worth it to have piece of mind.

There are a few things that you can do if the timer lets you down one day will not have a massive impact on the grow cycle.If a timer has run over by haveing the lights on say 7 hours more than it should you could always just black the plants out foe several hours.Same if the plants have been left in the dark for too long just leave the lights on for the time that you should have had dark.But don't do none of the above if it is only one day the plants will be fine.

as long as the lights have been off for 12 hrs or more then youcan set your timer for the dedired time you want. don't let this happen to many time or you could have some problems.
