I got a purple haze and an oragne kush in my closet. I just started 12-12 2 days ago. My question is, would it be okay for that cycle to get get fucked up some for one day? I need to go out of town tonight and wont be back untill tomorrow night. I don't have a timer and no fund to go buy one at this moment.

I also thought of putting them outside but its like 45 degrees out there.

help?

I think you would be fine for just one day. Remember it is a plant and things wont just change over night unless something in the ATM changes drastically. In your case I would keep the lights off the whole time, and then just go back to 12/12 when you return. Make sure that your plants have enough water, you don't want to come back to shriveled up plants. :)

it is very important that the first 12 days of flowering are monitored closely.

Any interuption of the 12/12 cycle during this stage can have serious implications, even inducing hermies.

do as Hidden Agenda said - buy a cheap timer. May have to consider gettting a relay unit, stops the timer from freezing "on" (they pull too many amps). But should be OK for a few days, usually take a week or two before they freeze.

oh my fault. I actually later thought of putting them by the window in the attic. its a small window and they didn't get a whole lot of light, but they stayed warmer than they would outside and still got enough light. but now they're back in the closet; makeing me fresh oxygen.

bigger containers are easier to manage

peope have have taken plants to harvest in shot glasses on here, but just like in hydro where a larger res is easier to manage, in soil the plant is way mroe stable when it's in a bigger pot.
