Flowering lights left on 7 days straight : (

I went on vacation and bought brand new timers specifically for this trip. Anyhow they did not ever turn my lights off. The strain is cheese. They are about half way through flowering 5 weeks 12/12. Is there anything I can do or are they all going to herm out?

for future reference most timers have a small switch that changes the operation from timer to always on. on my timers the switch is not even marked, you have to try it both ways to see which is auto.

you are probably better off having done what you did than say having an hour or two of light in the middle of a dark cycle. i think the only problem you'll have is how long it takes to finish flowering.

Agreed. I think you might hit a very prominent bump in the flowering process. But your misfortune was, while large, consistent. I don't think they'll herm. Once they settle back down you can adjust your photoperiod to 11 hours of day and 13 hours of night if they do slow down a lot in flowering and you want them to speed up. This will decrease yield very slightly but speed up ripening. Of course you can always switch it back once they catch back up to whatever pace you may desire.

Thanks a lot guys. I was really worrying

Do you have any pics?

I would switch them back to 12/12 and restart the count but you may loose whatever is on them....
Keep a close eye out for mould.

To be sure.. pick your most mature bud and molest the living fuck of it every day with your fingers looking for banana's... if you find one, you need to go thru and find them all..

switching to a 11/13 light cycle will not cause them to ripen quicker.
