Messing up photoperiod while on 18/6 veg!? Help

Hey guys,

This is pretty much my first post.

I got a little medi-grow going... my first one. Got a few plants under a 1000W Sodium in soil. The plants are 2-3 weeks old from clone.

I've got these girls in the corner of my basement. It's not very stealth because nobody is ever over at my house, especially in my basement.

Anyway, I live in a rental house and I've had nothing but shit go wrong since I started my grow. Lived here for 1.5 years and didn't have to call the landlord once. I can fix a few things and I did. But in the last 3 weeks I've had the furnace go out, the plumbing service line broken, and on and on. It's almost fuckin' INSANE how much shit has happened in the last few weeks. It must be some bad karma coming back to bite me.

So, I'm running a bunch of plants back and forth to my bedroom a bunch these past few days, to get them out of the basement where I've had a few workers come over and fix shit!! Tearing this shit down is a major pain in the ass....

So, here's my question. Since I had to tuck these girls away in the dark in the middle of their 18/6 light period, can I just give them more light later (screwing up the time schedule)? Will this fuck them up or cause potential hermies later down the road?? I've got at least 2 more visits from a worker and I may have to do this a couple times....

This is pissing me off so much!!! Now they're in 5gal containers, so it ain't fun lugging these bitches up and down the stairs every day...

Well, its not good.. but try to give them at least 18 hours of light and try your best to give them the 6 hours of darkness. I know what your going through..Happened to me back in the days. The landlord I had at the time needed the insurance company to come over and inspect the house. I was right in the middle of a huge grow. Had to move everything outta the house.. Fuckin pissed me off.. a 5 minute inspection and all that work. Why cant people leave me the fuck alone??? I fixed everything in that house.. I was there #1 tenant.. The biggest phobia at that time was for my landlord to come over, ya know..a surprise visit... Only happened once. They gave me a Christmas card. How nice, 5 weeks into flowering... Long story... Good luck :)

Thanks bro... this is going to be 2nd tear down tomorrow, may be a 3rd and then that's it (hopefully)!

I just rent from a couple, not an agency, and I think they're probably pretty cool. I'm not too worried.

I was wondering that. I may have to make a new post because I'm definitely running more strains than I should be for a first grow, and would like to get stability info for each:

GDP Kush
LA Con
Mr Nice
WW
Sour D
Headband

So, I'm gonna be huntin for balls all the time because I don't really know shit about growing any of these strains.

And I'm going to just imitate nature and not mess with the light schedule...

seems like a plausible natural thing to happen to a plant....

Maybe a big fuckin' nasty thunderstorm came through and the plants were in the dark a few hours each day...
