HELP LIGHTS DIDNT TURN OFF

Cvntcrusher · Oct 25, 2020

Guys. I made an accident....

I forgot to turn my lights off this morning. I usually wake up turn off go back to sleep. Its routine.

I honestly thought I got up and turned them off. And I didnt.....

So now they've been on for 24hr.

WHAT DO I DO????

DO I TURN OFF NOW? just act like it didn't happen and turn off like normal in morning?

I really hope this doesn't fuck my plants up.

1 is starting week 8 and the other 4 are finishing week 3 of flower

This doesn't tell me if this little mistake will do any harm

Do I just continue like normal or turn off or what to do

BobThe420Builder · Oct 25, 2020

Get a timer, very important for flowering, and one of the cheapest tools you MUST have

I can't use one without it shutting everything off

Plug the light into the timer, and everything else on a different outlet/plug. Issue solved.

Okay I have an extension cord. Power strip plugged into the cord. Every plug is taken. And my lights aren't daisy chained. I cant plug all my lights into a timer without blocking some outlets then I wouldn't be able to plug everything in.

Maybe I could get a time plug and another strip and plug that and put all lights on it and plug. It into timer. Fuck this sounds like a fire waiting to happen

Get a 3 way splitter

It's not that hard

I use this in one of my tents. Fans always run and lights on timer side. They also make digital timers that turn one plug into two from wall.

Brutal cus I have red hair lol

Do it properly the first time and you wont have these issues. A timer is a must and really not all that difficult.

this is what I do. for 20 bucks I got a smart plug on Amazon I can change 3 timers any time I wish. all digital helps take the guess work out can also turn on and off from smart phone

One time might not hurt them. Just hope for the best, and get a timer like everyone suggested.
