Hello

I am at day 15 of flowering and today I notice something strange...Today timer go off at 7:08 in the morning and start at 7:02 in the evening...So my night cycle is 12 h and 6 min and day is 11:54 obviously...So I am a little worry what to do...The plant in this 15 days going like real flowering...strech a lot and I see pistils all over preflowers so obviously the plant thinking floowering mood...

So what to do now...I have 4 diy cob and strain is og kush dinafem 75% indica 25 %sativa
I thinking about setting my timer to 11:30 on 12 :30 off just to be sure that plant will recive more dark then light period...really dont want to fuck now or hermie, reveg or some shit like that...
I know that will hurt my yield a litlle bit but hope that diy cobs will do the job even in that situation...

So what will you do in this situation ?
change timer settings to go extra 30 min in dark or let it like this

Thank you :)

Mechanical timers aren't built to be as precise as digital ones....but are far more reliable.

6min isn't going to hurt anything at all. Hell....my power went out for 6h three times over the course of a week, and my girls are all still doing great.

The sun rises/sets at different times every day and it doesn't effect outdoor grows. 12:06 on, and 11:54 off is not going to effect your grow in any way/shape/form. If you're really that worried about it, get a new timer. They're like $5 on Amazon. I honestly have no clue if mine are exactly perfect or 10min off. It hasn't bothered my grow at all if it is.

Summary: Don't stress about it. It's not a big deal at all.
