Hey RUI. So basically I'm having electrical problems right now, i already have a solution to the problem but its going to take 2 weeks before its finished. Currently I'm in the middle of a grow but I'm still in veg, my question is will the electricity turning on and off mess up my plants? I know in flower it will but in veg is it as important?

Ive been running a 20/4 light schedule but sometime my lights will turn off either when I'm at work or I just won't be able to turn them on for like an hour this happens maybe once every other day. Will all my plants basically be hermied when i start flowering should I just start a new batch of clones? Id like to not have wasted a whole month and a half but if I have to... Any advice would be great thanks!

as long as the plants dont go into complete darkness during your power outs it wont be a problem, just slower growth

Just keep going with these plants. Few power shortages during veg isn't anything to worry about, as long as they're not daily and last over 10 hours.

yeah I think it would have to be a longer dark period over more time than just 2 weeks to make em go hermie.

awesome thanks guys! The outages haven't been more than a few hours tops when they happen. I was gonna flower them about now but I'm using the extra veg time to try lst :)
