If you carry on messing it up then it will, my advice would be just to get a cheap digital/segmented timer and run it from that

He's right!

Man, a 15 amp digital Intermatic is under US$20 and it'll last you for years. Get a friggin' timer!!!

Yea get a mechanical timer for less than $15 - Just make sure it is rated up to 15amps or at least what your light pushes.

Without a timer you can look forward to pollen sacs, stretchy buds, delayed maturation..the list goes on. Ya gotta have a timer.

Yeah get that timer. I have seen cheap 3 prong timers at Bartell that would work for about $8. Save yourself the problems and spend the money.

I agree with everyone and suggest that maybe you take a second to re-assess how committed you are to your grow. I'm not saying you aren't, but at 5 weeks into flower I would think you'd be a little more "on top" of it. Depending on what state/country you are in, that type of nonchalant attitude could get you in trouble.

Light timer is the only way to go.
