Hello everyone. So i just put my plant into 12/12 a week ago but i think i ruined it. Today before i left home i forgot to turn off the lights so its been on for more than 12 hours. In about 1 hr it will be 24hrs straight that they have been on. So what should i do? Just turn it back to 12/12 or keep the lights off for 24hrs then go back to 12/12? Any suggestions?

-Thanks

You should really get a timer. Its only 5 dollars for one and it'll save you a LOT of trouble like this

Well i have one of those older spin timers, were it has a 24hr circle and as time goes the circle spins and clicks to turn off, but i heard those short out easy. And i really don't want to risk a fire lol

Yeah i forgot to say get a timer,those spinny ones are the same as what i have,they tend to fall out of sink a bit but it beats doing it by hand

Yeah seriously get a timer, I initially was like meh I'm home most of the time so I can turn it on and off but it really does help with unforseen situations and makes things a whole lot more simple.

Those "old spinny timers" are great and reliable. They are actually called mechanical timers, and still available at just about every hardware store. I use one, and always have. They are a heavy duty metal powder coated box that can handle lots of power and can even be rewired fairly easily to handle more. But, I guess buying cheapo plastic parts from wal-mart has become the fad.

I just decided not to use it because i heard someone on here say that they short out, and i think we can all say we wouldn't want the risk of a fire in our homes. But now that i have other opinions saying they are fine i guess i will use it :) Thanks!
