dilemma

OK, what can i say.

My bulbs have blown... So now what do i do in the short term?

I was 2 weeks into flowering, white pistels showing on plant now i have no light until the new one arrives in hopefully a few days.

Is putting it out into the natural sunshine and keeping the 12/12 cycle going to ruin my plant?

Any advice appreciated!

As long as the lighting routine remains unchanged and you keep 12 hours of light and 12 hours of pure darkness flowering will continue as normal, its just going to mean bring them in and taking them out or black baggin them

That's excellent, we're enjoying some nice weather at the moment so not a problem. Will try and keep it as close to 12/12 as possible. With my work routine it may fluctuate by 30 mins to half an hour but it's been outside for 3 days so far and flowering looks to be continuing as normal.

I have noticed that my lower fan leaves have gone completely yellow and the 2nd lot above are much lighter than they were. Now, i know the leaves store the nutrients and the goodness and i'm hoping this goodness is going into the creation of the buds but is there anything i can do at this stage to stop the leaves discolouring any more than usual?

I'm hoping that my new bulbs will arrive within the next week so i can get back to my normal routine. Hopefully, after losing one plant which turned out to be male, i can salvage my female after all she's been through!

Thanks for the advice mate!
