What to do- timer fouled up???

To make a long story short, my 4 week olds (feminized White Widow & Blackjack) had been on a 18 on 6 hour off schedule. The timer toasted and although I just realized it, the lights have been on 24/7 for about a week.

That said, do I now cut back to 18/6 all at once, do I gradually cut back to 18 on, or do I just leave it at 24/7?

They all look great, one has a few small spots on it, but otherwise are all but perfect.

They are in soil indoors.

Please help!!

Thanks.

It won't make any difference, you can keep them on 24/0 or switch back, it won't hurt them.

i have had mine on 24/0 for thier whole life, they are bout 5-6 weeks veg, bout to make em flower ! but yea, just the other day i contemplated giving them 20/4 , i have heard that wonderful things happen in the dark. but yea anyways they were 24/0 now they are 20/4 , i guess its kinda like your whole dilemna except the script is flipped. just dont 12/12 and you should b alright. p.s. dont get drunk on turkey day then stumble in your growrrom and try to hook up a timer to the lightsystem to try and make it 20/4 i woke up and forgot to throw my inline fan cord onto the timer as well, good thing i got cold in middle of night and checked ojn them or they would have been baked when dawn came, 90 degrees or so is scary for me, but now they are back to 75 and loving it, but yea, i guess lights out helps with nutrient uptake and they grow more. .. . . . . . or so RIU told me lol

I would thank your lucky stars this happened in vegg, no harm done at all. In flower this would have been tragic, so maybe get a little better timer, although even the best can go out. You could even take them straight into flower now if you wanted, it doesn't matter if you leave it at 24 hour, turn it back to 18 or even go to flower, no harm will be seen.
