so I flipped into flower, leaving the light off for 36 hours, All was well when I turned on and the timers were set to 12 on 12 off. Suddenly Power cut. I worked out that they had 6 hours of light then 2 hours dark until I noticed. I decided to try forget about it and hope for the best and just put them back on. Another 2 hours passed with the power on until another cut for about 4 hours of dark. I decided to leave them off until they hit there time to go back on later. They must be freaking out right? What damage could have been done? Opinions please

On a more serious note, had a load more power cuts. Opinions on whether I should put them back in veg for a couple weeks or so or just continue with 12 12 now that I found that pesky ballast that was messing me around and has been changed now so no more power cuts
Thanks

He is absolutely right. I've done the same to mine and continue to accidentally do so. I don't even worry about light stress anymore. Its actually a hard thing to purposely do. And in some breeding cases I've been into where we wanna force a plant to Hermi through light cycle stress, takes months of fucking around. Your good.

Just thought I’d add that if I leave my lights off for three days I get nanners on lots of different strains
