12/12 light interruption

[Joshman6941]

Had my plants in 12/12 cycle for couple weeks. They seemed to have stalled budding and tonight just realized that two of my dip switches on timer were up about ten hours into darkness. So my lights came back on for a half hour then out for another hour and a half. Explains the stall in bud production and continued vertical growth. Question is will they return to flowering or are they scrap. Thanks Josh

Keep going they will go back to flower. Sometimes it can stress them out. And can cause them to seed.

Thank you. Not to add a question to a question but... Is it starting flower over? Picking up where left off with a delay? And will they go through the stretch again cause I'm running out of head room? Thanks again Josh

Honestly I’m not gonna pretend like I know. I’m still learning. But they will start up again and I don’t think they will stretch again. But maybe some one else can come on here that knows for sure.

You are building up the chemical that causes flowering when in 12/12, it takes 1-2 weeks. I would think you depleted the chemical from the plant fully if it reverted to veg so reset the clock.

I'd guess a week or better for the brains to unscramble. With enough time on a given light period they should do what you want them to. Be patient. They might look/act screwy for a few weeks with lots of alternating singlet leaves and or curly tops too, no worries we've all been there. Good job catching it before too late.
