Changing my timer helpful info?

Hey all. My babies were on a 12/12 cycle that began at 8 pm and ended at 8 am. well this sucked because at night (8 pm) they would come on and I would spend most of the night tending to my babies and talking to them. This realy upset my wife as I was unavailable to her and our nightly programs routine.

So I asked the guy at the hydroponics shop what he thought about reverseing it. We both discussed and agreed that one day wouldnt shock them so I changed the timer to go on at 8 am and off at 8 pm. And I just wanted to share the results.

My babies didnt even flinch! They are doing great and I didnt notice any effects from doing this. This time configuration is so much better and it probably saved my marriage........................joking. But anywyas if anyone can use this info then I did my job. My girls were in their 18th day of flowering when I did this and they were strong plants so keep that all in mind.

good luck and keep growing here arte some new pics after the change. The last pics on this thread I am leaving , my babies are three weeks into flowering, enjoy

hello is there anybody out there?...............

ok wel anyways it worked and the babies didnt seem to be pjased at all............

good work man. did you fill the gap inbetween with extra light or dark? id of gone with dark i think...

so now you got a timer instead of turning it off manuely?

no I always had a timer but the awake cycle was at 8pm at night to 8am in the morning. I wanted it to be the other way around so after they were sleeping 6 hours one day I changed it up so they actually got 18 hour light that day. But look here are some pics a week later or so after I did it. It didnt phase them. So I thought this would be good info to share.

ok these pics are from this morning..................

anyone there anymore?....................rofl

Cannabis plants are not cameras. They take about a week to respond to a change in photoperiod. An hour here and there won't make any difference.

yup...........i was just concerned at first

I don't think I'd swing a flowering schedule around like you have more than once in a crop. Best if you don't have to change it at all, but if you gotta do it, it's not a showstopper.

I prefer to run my flowering lights at night as the ambient air I draw into the op is cooler, but I can understand why there would be reasons to run lights in daytime (i.e. noisy exhaust fan which is less noticeable in daytime).

yeah it was a good move . I like the day time with them and scince I have the air conditioner it works out pretty well. Plus my wife isnt all mad when I am tending to them at night. lol
