Lmao first time grower.
Switched the plants to a new tent with 650w flowering light. Had everything tied into an automated controller but didn't realize (theres nothing in the directions about this or i over looked) when setting it up with the controller you need to turn off the light so the controller does all the work. Just realized after 2 weeks that my light has been on for 24 hrs between the veg to flower cycle. So they never left veg but continuously had light for 2 weeks lmao. Im cooked. Im going to do 24 hrs no light and start them on their first official flowering week tomorrow. Probably fucked probably should learn to question things more and not be in such a hurry

YOU SHOULDNT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS. IVE DONE THE SAME THING. I SWITCHED MY FIXTURES AND BULBS OUT THE OTHER DAY (GOT SOME DIFFERENT LIGHTS) ANDDID THIS. MY TIMERS HAVE A FIXTURE "ON" SWITCH ON TOP TO ALLOW YOU TO TURN THE LIGHTS ON MANUALLY, BYPASSING THE TIMER. WHEN I GOT MY NEW FIXTURES PUT UP,I SET MY TIMERS,ECT AND SOMEHOW ACCIDENTALLY FLIPPED THE BYPASS SWITCH. I WATCH MY TEPS CLOSELY WITH A REMOTE THERMOMETER, AND USUALLY IN THE DARK PERIOD, IT SAYS AROUND 70 DEGREES, WITH MID-HIGH 80S BEING THE NORM WITH THE LIGHTS ON. I NOTICED HIGHER TEMP AND FIXED THE PROBLEM DIRECTLY, BUT THEY GOT ABOUT 2 1/2 HOURS MORE LIGHT THEN THEY SHOULD HAVE. THEY WILL BE ok THOUGH, JUST GO BACK ON 12/12

FYI...plants dont get "confused" as they DONT HAVE BRAINS. photosynthesis is a chemical reaction, not a conscience physical reaction on the part of a plant. also, plants wont turn into hermaphrodites in stress situations unless the plant they originally came from had hermaphrodite tenancies. tenancies to turn hermaphrodite are genetic defects in the plant, and can be brought on by stress, but leaving your lights on for an extra 2 hours or 4 hours isnt going to generally do it unless it was on the verge anyway

just speaking from my OWN experiences.

I live by talking from my own experiences. I don’t always have a lot to say but what I do say comes from personal experience. Priceless
