Light problems during budding

Wait, what?

Well-Known Member
I recently had to move, and I took my baby with me. She spent a week in the shade of some trees, and then a few days in the dark. Now it seems like the buds aren't growing anymore. I forget how long she's been budding, but its a month or less.

Is this plant screwed?

Can I get her to start growing again?

I'm not asking for a 100% sure answer--I'm talking in general.

I'll be checking in, in a few days, so I apologize if you ask a question and I don't get back for a while The innernets aren't up yet

You're probably screwed, unless you put her back on 18/6 until she reverts back to veg, then start over. I had one of my grows forced to sit in total darkness for 5 days, during weeks 6(8-9 week strain), and it stopped them in their tracks, and really killed my harvest. If I were you, and even though it'll take a long time, I'd go with re-vegging. Otherwise, you're risking losing 50%+ yield, if you continue, as-is.

P.S. Also, now that I think about it, you might want to try 24/0(continuous) lighting, instead. I don't normally use it for vegging, but, there's a good possibility that they'd revert faster under the longer photoperiod, than if you used 18/6. Maybe even something like 19/5, or 20/4, would be a good idea. Seems logical, to me. IDK, just something to consider. :)
