Told myself to be sure and turn that light off, but I space sometimes.

It's a 17w floro tube about 5 feet above the plants in my 4x4 jardin.

Bunch of ECSD cuts about 4 feet tall wrapped around an enormous cage so it'd be a true bummer to have f'd this up- lots of time spent training.

They got 12 hrs of light during their dark cycle, and now the light is still on as the schedule is resuming...

What would you do?

Thanks guys- sorry if post is hard to read, diesel will do that.

1 day should not have that much of effect on your plants. If you have a busy life get a timer. The timer never forgets! Watch for nanners,the diesel may throw a few on ya.


.........on another note. Are you flowering with just the 17w floro? Also u have it 5 feet from the plants? 5 feet away is a long ways away from the plants. Floro`s don`t put out massive amounts of heat so u need to move it closer for better light.

yeah if it was just supplemental lighting that was accidentally left on for one day you can probably get away unscathed, dont let it happen again and you should be just fine.

I hope you're using far more wattage for bloom.... right?

yah just a work light, I flower with 600w. Thanks guys- i'll see how it turns out. Given she's nanner prone (diesel) i'm kinda worried tho.

Don`t worry to much. A lot of strains throw nanners. Sometimes the nanners are sterile and don`t produce anything and u can pull them off and keep it pushing. Most of the time when I see nanners I pull them off and they don`t come back provided they are not stress related. Good luck to ya!


Can we see some pics of your diesel =)

heh three foot diameter cylinder of screen by ~4.5feet tall in a 4x4 tent vertical - wish i could do nanner inspections but this is my first run committing my plants to be in one position the remainder of the grow- could be worth it tho, vert scrogs seem promising.

that damn sour d is super sensitive to light related issues. i know you can reset the light cycle by doing 24hours of dark. but should be alright, nothing u can do about it now.

i once left a 1000w on all night in my vert room

5 dif strains of plants were fine, didnt notice any issues.

take it for what you will
 
I just realized this morning when I noticed my light on 10 minutes early that a second setting had the lights on 7.5 hours early every day. I must have hit some buttons tidying up a couple days ago without noticing. I'm hoping at least it's only been a night or two. Mandala safari mix so God only knows what genes are in em.
