my light timer is F****D

i am in veg does it matter if i do 12 hours, then 24, then 18, then 14 etc, i can only rush in and turn them on and off at different times.
will the plants suffer?

Just buy a new timer, they're cheap.

Just leave it on 24 till you get one. Not 12 then 24 than 18.. maybee 24 18 12......

not in uk they aint i have to run 4 600w lamps.

your going to totally fuck your plants not having a consistent light schedule. they will freak out and herm. if you are in veg don't even use a timer and just let 'em go 24/7 then get a cheap analog timer that will do 12/12 for flower. shit i would give you one if you were close. you do not want to do what you are doing.

leave them on 24 hours till you get a new timer or you can do what you want and ruin your plants. so choose, 24 hours, or buy new timers, or let the plants suffer.

Your running 2400w and your worried about paying for a timer?? Id like to see this op

if you can afford 4 lamps you should have been able to affford the timers as well. don't you know anybody that could hook you up with one or let you borrow one. hell try going to where you bought your lamps, explain the situation, and maybe you can get them to front the timers to you until you harvest. if you explain what is going on no ganja lover i know would not help you out in a time of need like this. hell having timers right now is more important than all of your lights. sell a light and buy some timers, that would do your garden better than what you've got now.

thanks mate, it was only for a few days but i will go get one tomorrow. i will probably get sacked from my job, i am a chauffeur and i drive VIPs around, elton john, rolling stones, boris berezovsky (was top man for russian mafia) exiled in uk, etc etc etc, i did the g4 summit too. i am gonna get sacked i will take the day off tomorrow to go get one.
i do it because i love my job !!!


EDIT : ok i see all your points i will leave the lights on 24 hours, and thank you very much indeed, and may you grow nice weed.

Steph.

Are you using COntactors to run your lights and timers?

If you are in the UK and using this amount of lighting you should be using something along the line of an ECOTECHNICS

dude you need to be growing chronic and giving it to your vip's and building a filthy rich network of clients.

wow.. I feel fortunate enough to have spare timers just laying around..

If I were you I'd do like stated above and run veg 24/7 til you decide to flower..

Good luck to you my friend.

some people not to mention but a few, smoke it in the back when i am driving, some even have 2 or 3 very tidy prostitutes around too.
some of them tip you very favourably, have had £800 handed to me on one occasion driving a vip visit to scotland for 5 days golf at gleneagles, a very well known american chicken farmer, wink.
one or two of them are tight fisted dour faced F***S.
the good thing is, it is always the best hotels in britain with all expenses paid.
got to drive two very high profile singers after a double act concert at hampden park in glasgow through the streets at 80mph with all traffic signals and traffic halted.
with a very heavy police motorcycle cortege and all the heavy artillary that go with them.
now you know why the timer had to wait until tuesday its my day off and i have time to grow because i dont do overnight stays anymore.

Mate, you shouldn't be writing anything on here which could give anyone a clue as to your identity. You think plod don't read this? Being paranoid is a good thing when you grow your own, let alone running your set-up. I worry about being on here and i only grow tomatoes now! And yes, 24/7 will do no harm through veg. Better than making the plants thhink armageddon has come.
