hey riu im in a bind n have a question. ok here it is.......... i was recently put on house arrest w/ a teather:cry: my grow op is a couple miles down the street, n my flower room is set to come alive at 9:00pm. the prob is,i have to be at home for the entire time my 12 hours my lights are on, thus leaveeing me unanble to make sure all is well in the most critical part of the grow. so what im looking to find out is, is there any way to go from my lights on @ 9pm & off @ 9am to on @ 9am & off @ 9pm without freak'n my plants out??????

How far in flower are you? My guess is they will be ok if you switch it up just this one time but if your really worried just turn them off period and then on to the time you desire

I assume that they are all showing flowers so over or under exposing them to light wont hurt them, at least from my expierences. If it was me i would just leave my lights off at the 9 pm on time and just have them turn on at 9 am. So a total of 24hrs of darkness, i would think that if anyting were to happen it would be like if you threw your girls in the closet two days before harvest which i often do

just go to 11/12 till your at your desired time schedule and switch to 24 hours of time. ie 12/12 or 11/13...

your at the end of the cycle anyhow, alot of people mimick nature and drop the daytime light from 12 to 11 to 10 to 9 and some go even further like to 8 7 and 6.

i had a power out whan i was 7 weeks in to flower, had them 36 hours of darkness, then went back to 12/12 and my plant is doing just fine. i too was woried at first but found out its o.k. so in your case, i would go ahead and wait till 9am, then give them a good 12/12 treatment.
