Hey guys, so today while I was working on one of my tents I accidentally bumped the plug to my other tent, turning off my lights.. they are 13 days into flower, and they got turned off for about 3-4 hours. Also this was only about 2-3 hours after my lights turned on.. anyways, they usually turn off at 2:30 am and turn on a 2:30 pm.. should i turn them off tonight at 2:30? Also how stressful is this to them? Do you think they might stretch more or hermie on me? Thanks guys20180121_210819.jpg 20180121_210800.jpg

You can add light when your not suppose to and it will cause it to revert to a point back to veg .....

On the other hand, add darkness when you not suppose to and one of two things will happen,
1. It will grow a little slower, just in the accidental dark period, because it doesn't have it's regularly used lighting
2. It will trigger the plant to put more emphasis on flowering, whether it's at the beginning, middle, or end of the flowering period.

You will be totally fine, but don't let the opposite of what happened to you happen accidentally

Okay sounds good, I'll try super hard to not have it happen the opposite way. The short 3-4 hour period of darkness wont confuse them and stress them though because it wasn't a full 12 hours of dark? Thanks for the input everyone!

A one time thing pretty much doesn't matter. The important thing though is that night stays long. When you accidentally unplugged it I'd have just left it unplugged and back in after what would have been there normal lights off. That way they get a long night instead of a short one.

Okay, that's what I thought to do, but couldn't find quick answers so I panicked and turned them on. If it ever happens again, I will do that though. Thank you!
