Hey guys i need an opinion about my light schedule please.

Ive currently got my girls several weeks into a flowering 12/12 light schedule. Im gonna have to be away one night and will not be around on time to turn the lights on at the normal time for theyre sunrise after bieng in the dark for 12 hrs. I will be able to get to them that day however by the time I get there they will only be 3 hrs left of theyre regular sunlight schedule left in the day. I hope ya get what i m mean here. What do you think i should do? Will it harm them that much to lose 7 to 9 hrs of sunlight in one day? Any help will be greatly appreciated my fellow gardeners PEACE the SIZZ:confused::-?
 
NICE!!!! thanks cruzer , I didnt think so, You think I should just let them get an extra day of darkness which I know helps with speediness of flowering instead of giving them those 3 hrs at the end of the day,and just wake - em up at sunrise again?? Let me know bro and please befriend me Maine Budsizzler420 Thanks Cuz hit me back bro PEACE the SIZZ

Yea man, I'd go with the darkness. why bother with 3 hours and dude, get a timer.
Like you said it'll kick start flowering but did you know its in darkness when the plant develops trichomes?

Yea sure, start them back up like usual. I'm following a journal where the guys lights went out in that last hurricane Irene, lights were out for 52 hours and plants look fine. I'm curious what the trichome production will be like.

Since darkness assists the trichome production, I wonder if a 10on-14off cycle on a day-to-day basis would be better for flowering then 12/12... ?:blsmoke:
 
That would work to speed up bud production however it does lower your yield, otherwise everyone would flower on a 10/14 schedule. Wouldnt that be nice huh? I was also in Irene and my lights went off for 8 hrs but it was during theyre dark period so it worked out fine.
 
Got a timer or should i say 3 timers but admit i have had trouble setting everything right with little space and outlets , but hoprfully will figure something out soon ya know

Mista Sticky... well well well ; glad to see a sensei helping out our mutual friend the Siz over here. Of course they are right, the light issue will be ok - some days it is just cloudy as shit ya know :)

if you threw away your instructions with the box (like me) then just type in the model number on google or something and it will most likely have a pdf or something of the instrucs.
