What I did was leave on a 23 watt cfl light that was in the celing light fixture. Lights out was supposed to be at 7:00 and I just noticed it on at 10:25 so it was on for 3.5 hours.

Will this small mishap cause a hermi or something? I am approaching week 5 of flowering a small medicle grow

Thanks

Agree with Zendo you need to make your next night time longer to compensate and then stick to the new schedule. One time is probably ok but if it happens several times you might get some hermi's if you're stock is not that stable

you'll be fine... the trouble starts when you do this 3 days in a row ;)


I have one timer break down on me at least once per grow (or I used to before I got a proper flip box) I wouldnt even bother extending the period... but thats just me .. I'm lazy ;)

(I've never had issues)

I would rather keep the old schedule. If you think its ok I will just continue like nothing has happened. The light that was on was not really bright but that probably doesnt matter. I hope they dont hermie...that would really be bad at this point after all this work...

The intensity and duration of light would duplicate moonlite, you should relax and worry about nite humidity, lol. Often over-looked. Good Harvesting!!
 
i just keep a set schedule nothings happened to mine but im really worried about light so i sealed the door with a black trash bag and have velcrow on it to hold it in place

Resume your regular schedule, and keep an eye out for hermies just in case. I think you will be fine though ;)
 
I was working with 3 partners once, we had a 9k watt stadium setup... recirculating over 200 pots 6 levels, all 9 lights on a lightbar, 2 25k btu ac's blasting down the middle.. basically one of the most badass 9 light ops possible...

homie left a little cfl on overnight and total crop failure total hermie . :(

could be a disaster, could be absolutely nothing.

good luck, you should be okay, that was a fluke.
