no lighting for 3 hours

so last night my seeds germinated. i put them in pots and then left them in the shed - i really had to go out and i couldnt be late. after being at work all day and finding out my lights etc wernt setup i had to leave it.

so i come back 3 - 3 and half hours later and they get light.

i setup 2 veg CFLs.

now these lights are set to be on till 3:30pm today, which will give them 18 hours of light. im going 18/6 btw.

will these be ok? i watered them all in soon as i potted them. so really will they be ok without 3 hours of light after being potted?

no1 knows this? i thought for sure someone could give me a "yes" or "no - u need to...."

They'll be fine.

ya man they will be good

usualy only screws them if there is light in the dark cycle. dark in the light time is ok, once in a while

thats brilliant thx.

although that wouldnt matter in veg would it? i am doing 18/6. but u can do 24/0 for veg so that wouldnt matter would it?

i can see where it could crop up in flowering stage.

you can do your veg at any schedule upto i believe it`s 15 hours before they go to flower mode. the problem with changing it around is the more you change it the more chance of hermie do to stress.
i recomend the18/6 because they need thier rest. there is more growth at night. the plant goes through a different process at night and grow faster and healthier.

yer i agree, they been on all day today, they go off at 3:30 an back on at 9:30. kinda stupid, i should of set them up to be on all day and off at night.

but anyways.........

oh an yer i understand about changing the light cycles on them forcing sexing and herms. cheers for that info.
