You just made my week brother. Really, really means a lot to hear that coming from you. I certainly love my girls and it is nice to know that the herb they produce treats others right as well!

So I just did a stupid thing like a dumdum! i got all dabbed out and forgot about daylight savings time! tripped out and unplugged my timer and plugged the ballast straight in, cause i thought it didn't turn on!.my light skedge is 1am to 1pm usually ... What should I do? it got shorted an hour of darkness... I really dont want to have my lights on @ 2am now cause of time change! how could i get myself to 12am cause even 1am was making me tired! could i just turn my lights on @ 12pm and start over with minimum stress? any help from my homies would help? its totally math bro!

I would say this, all plants in veg and early flower are fine to still switch to your preferred times. Anything flowering should just stay on track as is. If you feel über compelled to make the hours right, adjust no more than five minutes per night. That might not cause enough stress to do harm. Can't say I've ever done this, but it's your best chance if you MUST do a gradual transition in light period alteration.

1st off, that Lavender looks sick!
If something like this happens to me, I've always just adjusted the next "lights on" cycle down so that the lights click off at the time you want the new "lights off" time to be...even if the plants only received 9-10 hours of light during that one time. Does that make sense? So if you were going 1am lights on to 1pm lights off (now 2am to 2pm), just have the lights on for ten hours from 2am until noon, and then have the lights shut off at noon for the new 12pm-12am night cycle. That way the plants never receive less than 12 hours of darkness, which is what the plants are counting, not the daylight hours. I have not seen hermie problems arise from doing it that way but perhaps other have.

**Oh and for the f*** up that already happened when the plants only got 11 hours of dark, I wouldn't sweat it too much. I've also done this before with no noticeable problems...

Yeah these plants are 6 weeks into flower I know I fucked up! They got shorted about an hour of dark last night! I will just set it to 12 so they don't get extra light! I hoping the extra darkness will be ok, if i flip it only once as a quick transition phase! I don't know hopefully my bitches treat me well thru all of this, cause I sure do take care of them!

Thanks man as I was typing this I forgot came back and finished, and just read your post, I kinda figured naturally no extra light and that was my first instinct, but you know got all paranoid and shit! Bwahahaha not a problem these girls just better do me right! I have clones ready of them, so I could have a redo if someone becomes a little bi-curios! Lol I definitely have training plans for these two strains the next run! Thanks again!
