  • Hello everyone , first off let me say that im new to the thread , but glad to be here
    this is my first grow , i know a little but not all lol.

    So i have drastically messed up !

    We had a power outage on Saturday and i had to turn my timer back to normal time , i have to first turn it to continuously then reset the time... But i failed to remember to switch it back to schedule . On Saturday -____- .

    I just found out about 20 minuets ago . so they have been on 24/0 for almost 4 days. I switched them sleep mode with no light and im gonna keep them dark for 24... but should i go back to veg , to flower , or should i just cut it down cause its got a manJina? Please help me , im really worried this is my only source of income right now !


    Much love - SpaceDog!​

Welcome to RIU!

So, were your plants in flower when you messed up the schedule, and if so, how many weeks in? If they were, put it back into flower, but be prepared if they've been in flower long, that there's a good chance they'll hermie.

Transition slow back to flower, if your plant strain is unstable IMO- veg back to flower over the course of week or so.
4 days of 24/0 light... ease your girls back into flower.

I am 3 weeks into flowering , They just started to show some white hairs from the sprouts , been a slow process. i Just dont wana waist my time if the risk of hermi is bigger then Staying normal.

Also does it make a difference that im using low budget lights? i have 3 Double bulb shop lights , one Ballets has two 40watt bulbs and the two other ballasts have 2 60watt bulbs each.

IMO-you can start to transition now, 18/6 right now you gotta lose 6 hours to get to 12/12, say 6 days lose an hour of light every day. 6th day your back on the 12/12 flower.
your not hurt anything by leaving them veg 18/6 for another week, and do the transition, it's up to you man.

You don't sound like an idiot. My guess would be to go back to 12-12 ASAP and let them get back on track.

(In my opinion -IMO)
If this is all you have then i would be careful. Gentle, there probably a little stressed with the crazy light cycle.
I wouldn't give them 0/24 you don't need to. what light cycle you on now? start transitioning then to flower, figure out how many days your gonna do that it can 3-4 days, i was just using 6 days as an example.
Your gonna be about a week behind schedule.
It is what it is man.

Good Luck with Your Grow.

Right back to 12/12 IMO is fine. I don't think it was long enough to cause a drastic change in the flowering chemistry. I may be wrong but I have read a lot about these types of situations and just getting back on track is less shock to the plant then trying to reveg and shit.
