Oh no, have i made a fatal mistake. Light cycle problem

Im a week into flowering and checked my light timer today to find it had been knocked and was turning the lights off for a hour in the 12 hour period.

ie on for 7 hours off for a hour and back on for 4.

Is there any hope of not getting hermis?

could have been like this for a few days.

IM so mad ive managed to make a basic f*** up like this

If this did make them hermi when would i see signs of male flowers? Straight away or later on in a week or two.

Someone must have made this mistake before too..........

Why? They are due to go off in a hour for 12. theyve just had a hour of darkness in the light period for a couple of days

just stay on 12/12 from now on, and just wait...you wont know until it happens! im sure it will be okay how long was it like that for the whole week? meh it should be okay

It's nothing. As long as the dark cycle is not interruped by light. It doesn't matter if you turn the lights off during the day cycle. You miss out on an hour/day of light and that sucks for your plants, but it won't cause hermie's and isn't detrimental. Same as a storm that rolled by for an hour.

Just fix the timer.

I think since i changed to 12/12 so 6 days max unless i knocked it after.

Im pissed cause the last grow i got clones from someone and they all hermied 5 weeks in flower, not my fault as his did too but dont want to be wasting all that time again.

So i need to keep a look out for those yellow banana type things
