Lights off to Cold during 12/12

My temp at lights on ranges from 85-70. My temps whe. Lights are off even with a little mini space heater the temps range in the 40's is that to cold for my babies? There on week 2 of flower.

Man, that's awful cold. You need to do something to bring them up. If not, they will probably survive but, your overall yield will be greatly reduced. Can you switch time and light schedules so lights on during the night? It will mess with the plants for a day or two. Much better then cold for the next 6 weeks or so. Good luck!

Ok I was thinking about switching my lights to come on at night but my thing is I'm scared the plants will go hermie.

Just do it and they will be fine. Don't slowly switch with lights time just do it. The chances of them going hermie is so minimal I wouildn't hesitate. Got any pics?

No pics right now but they look great they all have started to bud and smell great.

nah i change my timer all the time just do it gradually like an hour or two a day until you get it to turn on when you want it

Don't do that. Just get it over with one shot. Fucking with their light schedule over a 2 week or so period is going to greatly increase the likelyhood of them going hermie vs one shot!

Ok I will just switch it all at once.

Switch it, giving longer dark to get your start time to where you want it.
The cold is going to slow you down, possibly affect final yield, and if you let it stay in the low 40's to high 30's too long, you'll end up with a P lockout like I did last season outside.

Run them at night mate.... I've switched from daytime to night time 3 weeks in .... Just do it in one go instead of gradual change and they will be fine, at night are you switching the clean air intake off? But hey get it over to night time.

lowest u should ever get ur plant is 65F. plus high temperature gaps cause more stretching. not to mention turns your plants purple in a bad way

gradual changes is alot better. since flowering is induced at 14 hours.. u can go 13 hours without hermy

Disagree with that comment...... Instant change I feel works lots better. One change and prob solved, gradual change will not fix the cold temps for a while.

u can change it instantly, but then would you rather fuck up 12 hours and get hermies? hahahahaha or get a space heater and work that for a bit till you can gradually get your time back

I've done it and know many also who have instantly changed with no problems...... At the end of the day we do what we're confident with....

i've left my lights on for 3 extra hours after 12 hours one grow. had to harvest early cuz it hermied and i couldnt find the hermy plant :'((((((((( (i'd cry a river right now thinking about it)
