I am growing lowryders so i am using a 20 / 4 light cycle. All 5 plants are 11 days old and all doing nicely.

One hour back in to my "ON" for 20 hour period, I had to quickly turn it off as i am growing in my spare room and my bro is staying. When i went upstairs last night the cupboard was ajar and light was pouring out, so i quickly pulled the plug.

The light has just gone back on but it has been off for 12 hours now. Will this have any effect on my plants?

Should i continue with my 20 / 4 starting from my usual time of "OFF" at 6pm, "ON" at 10pm, or should i just keep it on till 6pm sunday (32 hours in total) to make up for the 12 hours lost.

Please help :peace:

during the veg. period you should be fine. just turn the light on and leave it on untill you want the next off time then resume your light schedule that you want.

Thanks for feedback bro. Will keep an eye on them and if all looks good then will give them a bit of dark tonight.

Just get back to and maintain the normal schedule. Personally I use 18/6 on AF's and it works great.

I heard that is best to go with 18/6. Im gonna wait till flowering and see if they need switching as all look really healthy at the moment.

Setting up another grow in a few weeks to do some auto AK so will go with 18/6 on this grow and see which one yeilds!
