Okay i am in my 3rd week of flower, my timer broke and the Lights came on 1 1/2hrs later then normal.

I dont know how this will affect my timing.

I have them on 12/12 starting a 9am. I wasnt able to turn the lights on until 1030am. I have them shutting off at 1030pm.

I bought a new timer and plugged the lights into it, should i set the timer back to my original time of 9-9pm.

Also does anybody know about light stress. I know to keep my flower room closed when the lights are off but, what if some light gets to them when you open a door for less then a minute... Basically how long does it take for light stress to set in.
 
My understanding is that any light at all while they are sleeping is a VERY VERY bad thing. Simply put... don't open that door.

Cool, thanks guys! I will give them 12hrs today and then start them on there normal schedule.

I heard somewhere that the plants can take the incadescent and cfl light for about five mins before stressin.

i just have a 60 watt bulb in the hallway sometimes the light is on when i open the door but i close it super fast so i am guessing the light is 15ft away.

i use a green cfl for work in my room when the lights are off:-o
