Timer failed in flower room

Reidybhoy88 · Sep 17, 2018

Alright guys need some advice put a single plant by itself in a small grow room set the timers all was good , flipped to flower 2 weeks ago my grow is a couple towns away so it’s out the way I go check every 4 days , realises my plant that’s flowering has had 24 hour light for last 4 days because of timer failure and some pistols are orange coloured don’t know why need help how long will it set me back on her ave sorted timer now will check every 2 days

You’ve definately causes the plant some stress by denying it the night cycle which influences the phytochrome systems response which affects flowering hormones.

It is probably starting to convert back to vegetative growth. You may have set it back a couple weeks possibly. Get a better timer, they are inexpensive at hardware stores like Home Depot.

The plant doesn’t look too bad, but thenphoto is pretty far away. Keep an eye on the node spaces for male reproductive parts that look like pods on tiny stems or green bananas. Plants often produce both male and female flowers in response to stress. It helps them reproduce in emergencies like what happened to them the last 4 days.

i'd drop it down to 10 hours of light a day for a week, it may offset the 4 days of light....or it may not. doesn't cost anything to try.
otherwise, what jay says ^

Setting back ain’t an issue since I have a few more in veg stage and might be able to put them in together to flower when it’s ready it’s soul destroying lol always some sort eh hiccup, got several timers going to try them all out see if any are faulty , will give it the check over over jay last thing I want it turning hermephdite or it’ll just get binned can’t contaminate the Frome with It lol

when ready to flower for real keep lights at 12 hours on then 12 hours off. anytime, no matter, just do it. your damage has been done, if any. clone them now if you want to keep the lines

Problem with cheap timers is that the solder breaks easy, get something like this plug and grow:
