So my flower tent is running from 7p to 7a. Power went out around 8p and back on around 1:30a. I went and made sure everything powered up when power was restored.

I left for work today without thinking about my timers being thrown off! I was thinking I would only lose light on time, and would be minor. Now, lights on at 7, off At 8, on a 1:30a, off around noon then back on at regular tonight at 7 when I fix timers.

My question - should I just go back to normal schedule or now start going from 1a to 1p which would be incredibly inconvenient. Thanks for any input!

Awesome... Thanks guys!! Yeah, most covenient would be just to go back to normal 7-7.. Was just afraid the on-off-on-off with such a short dark period was gonna screw me up. Appreciate the quick feedback!

The flowering hormones build at night and are depleted during the day. Each day basically restarting flowering. Your plants dont care too much, especially just this once. If it happens often, give longer dark 18hrs etc to get back to the time you want lights to come on instead of a long day and short night.

But this used to happen to me all the time. I used to rotate crops by hand under lights into a darkroom every 12hr, for more efficient use of what lights i had and less elec usage at once. On occasion plants would get left in the light. This actually happened often.

Never caused a herm or reveg
