Constant interruption of light

Hey there,

If i was in the 3rd of my veg cycle and it kept getting interrupted what permanent damage would i be looking at?

vegging under a 200w envirolite and turning on a 6am, turning off at 11am and turning back on at 6pm till 12 at night. (thats the 18 hours it should be on)

cheers

i meant 3rd week sorry

why are u doing that? what benefit do you believe it has?

lol why would it benefit them? i have no choice, i wont be able to have it on for the straight 18 hours

Your plant won't react well to this. It needs the 18 hours straight so it doesnt trigger flowering. Maybe you should just go 12/12 from start if it'll work out better for you. Otherwise you're looking at getting Hermaphradites most likely.

you change the light schedule to induce flowering by tricking the plant into thinking that it is fall time. By doing this multiple times a day you will confuse the plant to the point of survival, in which case it will hermaphrodite to insure future reproduction of itself (not many plants around the world are capable of this). like stated above, if you have to, keep your light schedule at 12/12 with very little variation and you should be fine, if you don't be, prepared to have to de-seed your crop when it's done and cured.
