interrupted dark cycle 22 days into flower

[fullmelt925]

I recently bought a new controller that shuts off a single light in my room when it gets too warm. It was off when I put my room to "sleep' because it must have hit the high temp.
When I came in to open my room, the light was on...so it came on at some point during the dark cycle. It could have been as early as 30mins into their dark cycle..but really could have been anywhere within the 12 hours.

Most of what I have read has said that unless I have weak genetics I should be fine...but I have a large room with lots of ventilation, so I really don't want bananas. Most of the rooms genetics are strong, but I'm trying some new flavors that I have no idea will react to the stress.

Should I just bite the bullet and spray Dutch master reverse?


Thanks for any input.



Ps. I was coincidentally going to start my co2 tomorrow (late I know...but its a new room and the plants were huge already..so I figured I'd wait......I've had no problem introducing co2 this late....but will this add stress to the already stressed ladies? I was planning on very gradually adding it)

Btw strains are: bubba Kush,cheese which have both been very resilient for me...lemon Larry, laughing Buddha which I have only tried each of them once...and the new ones are purple wreck, and Carmelo....I have never tried either of them...

personally i would give 24 hours of dark and then back to 12/12
i have left the lights on for 24 hours without prob ,hopefully a more experienced grower will chip in .all the best .ww

i don't think you should have any issues because of the lighting hiccup but i've found using DM's reverse is pretty darn effective and really cheap insurance. i grow poly hybrid s1's and never had so much as a late season nanner.

I had a cfl cab on a timer that had an override switch on the side of the timer that slide into the always on position about 6 weeks into flower. The light stayed on 24hrs a day for 5 days. The only thing that I saw happen was some foxtailing new growth on the buds. The plants didn't throw any nanners and once I fixed the timer issue, other than the little amount of new growth, the buds/plants finished up fine.

I wouldn't worry about it. You have a lot of flowering time left for the plant to get back on track. I wouldn't spray anything on the plant if it were me.

i dont think extra light is a problem when ur running 12/12.... i would like to hear more stories like what has happened to some growers when the power goes out for a couple days.
