Hey my timer in my grow box somehow didnt turn on the lights correctly for the last two-three days, it was more of a 12/12 than an 18/6, will two-three days of this mess up the hormones in my plant? It is jack herer that is about 2 weeks old. Thanks!

They will always revert back it may just slow things a little for like week or two. You can take a plant that is flowering and revert it back to vegging so I doubt a few days will have large impact, like i said worse case scenerio a week or so for them veg more. BTW why u run 18/6 ? I run 24hrs in my veg more max photosynthesis and growth. but to each his own.

Best of luck

Hey thanks for the help! The reason i'm running 18/6 is because thats what i read was the best, this is my first time grow so i just kinda went by what i read in the forums. apparently giving your plant a 6 hour break from photosynthesis helps. I am not a botanist nor an experienced grower so that could very well be wrong but thats just what ive read. anyone else have a thought?

you dont have to give them a 6 hour break they would probably grow faster if you left them under 24/7 light tell your ready to flower......

would it hurt to switch it now? is it something i should do slowly like maybe 20 hours then 22 then 24, or just cold turkey?

just switch it to 24 and be done........the more you mess with the times the more stressful it is for the plant just pick a schedule and stick to it...
