Hey new to this site this is my second indoor crop and everything been going good until now. Here's my system I have a 5X5X7 secret jarden grow tent with 2 600w hps vented sun systems hood with 2 600w lumatek ballasts for a total of 5 plants. I also have a 4X4 vegging tent with a t5 and another 4X4 tent that is used for the first couple weeks of flowering although it currently isn't set up. Well since the extra flowering tent wasn't set up because I loaned it out I decided to throw 4 more plants in the tent just for the week as i need them to be already have started flowering I know it was a bad move square footage wise but i need to be harvesting every month. Os basiclly I have 5 Plants that are 4 weeks into flowering and 4 plants that are a week into flowering. I noticed after adding the newer plants the light levels had diminished in the lower three feet of the tent so I figured with the extra plants I could use some extra supplemental lighting. Well I dug up my original 100w old sun systems HPS and 1 100w MH hood I put them in there for extra lighting but my dumb ass forgot the timer I put them on had blown (ALWAYS THROW BROKEN TIMERS AND EXTENSION CORDS INTO THE TRASH). Anyways my lights normally go off at 12 and I came in the room at 6 and the two 100watters were still on. Both 600 watters were off luckily so essentially for 6 hours my plants recieved an extra 200watts of light in a 25 square foot area. I've read alot and some people say leave em dark for an extra day to let your cycle repeat itself and I've also heard people say to just keep them on there normal schedule as not to stress them even more so I was hoping to get a couple peoples advice seeing as im sure this is not the first time this has happened to somebody any and all advice would be appreciated.
