okay so i was thinking about when i had to switch to flowering i would need the 12/12/ But my live it a bit jam packed and i would not be able to do that, so i was wondering, would it be better to leave the lights on for an extra hour or so or leave them off?

I'm a total noob, but using a timer takes no experience what so ever. I've used them for Christmas lights, house lights.. whatever. You can buy them almost anywhere, I use cfls. So basic light timers work for me. If you're using HPS, I'm guessing you'll need something more heavy duty. All you gotta to is set it, and forget it.

Buy a timer. It's Christmas time and tons of people buy them for Christmas trees so it's not like it looks sketchy.

its so easy even a caveman can do it. get one first, if you still don't understand how to use it...then ask. but, it is really quite ridiculous/inconvenient to grow without one.

You just plug your lights directly into the timer and plug the timer into your wall. You tell it when to turn the lights on and off and you're done.

Make sure your dark period is as close to totally dark as you can make it.

If you don't get a timer for flowering we're gonna see you back here in 2 weeks with a thread titled "Whoops! I got drunk and forgot to turn my lights off. Will my plant hermie?" Get a timer bro. :roll:
