Got drunk, lights on for 14.5 hours :(.

[Mr. Bitti]

got drunk last night didn't wake up in time to turn lights off. they were on for 14.5 hours and they have been 12/12 since the 8th of october. Is this gonna delay my flowering? is it gonna make my crop hermie? so should i just switch the light cycle to 12/12 since the last time i turned them off? any suggestions will be great help im so damn pissed at myself god im such an idiot.

Well this might make you feel better, I have been experimenting with more than 12 hours of light but still give 12 hours of dark and I haven't got a hermie yet! I've been giving them 14 hours of light then 12 hours of dark so I would just make sure they stay in the dark for the full 12 hours and you should be ok... Hope that helps you out

maybe spring for a $5 timer??

Man... You can get a really good digital timer at Home Depot for 20 bucks. But one screwup won't stress your grow.

you're right man boozing always ends in tragedy. I got one of simple ass timers it just dont fucking work im so pissed at smarthome.com they fucking suck

I know in cali during the outdoor flowering season, the lights are 14/10 or something around there, not quite 12/12. Eventually they slip into that 12/12 and flower like regular. I would guess your one night of 14.5 and 10 hours of darkness (perhaps you left them in the dark for 12 hours) will not cause to much harm. I agree with the rest of the people however and get a timer! That or work on your drunken autopilot!

i've been giving them 14 hours of light then 12 hours of dark

14 + 12 = 26

 

[cannabis chris]

Yeah dude 14+12=26 but it doesn't have to equal 24. Some timers limit you to 24-hour schedules but a lot of the digital ones have some decent cycle options. Plus he wasn't even using a timer at first so he wasn't bound by a 24-hour sched.

thats why you get a timer and you dont ever have to worry about that
