Guys just got back from vacation, and my friend forgot to turn back on the grow lights!!! They have been without light for five days, and now my lemon skunks are the only ones not molded out. Should i put the sativas back under the light or just chop them?? Thanks! Soooo pisseddddddddddddddd

I have a timer, the grow light itself is plugged into a timer for 12/12, but the timer is connected to a surge protector, which also holds my exhaust fan and occilating fan. I am not stupid enough not to use a timer, the entire surge protecter shut off for some reason.

Ummm really???? WHY would you plug your timer/light into a surge protector? Yes it may save your ballast in the event of a problem but many surge proctectors are not meant to run HID lighting, let alone anything else you are plugging into it. In your case the surge protector did exactly what it was meant to do which is cut of power if there is a "surge" in power. I recommend you plug your timer directly into the wall outlet, it will save you from this problem in the future.
