Dude, look here and read.

12 hours max to give your flowers light. Give them less than 12 and you won't get the yield you would have with a full 12.

Give too much light, 12+ hours, and you veg.

How long have you been growing?

How do you not know how hermies are formed?

My $0.02: Get the timer and forget about it.

:weed:I bought a floragro 150 watt hps light with a 4" air cooled venting option ,with built in ballas and a glass cover to keep the heat in.((which I have a 6'' exosed fan that I will get a reduser for.My grow space is small Depth22"xwide36"xtall58" ..I need a bigger box I have four plants ((in third week of flowering))growing right now and its pretty tight in there....1 DWC running about 1.500 PPM and a PH of 5.5-6.5 on average .Temp 78F and HUMIDITY is around 36%.....and for the 3 I have in soil((FOX FARM OCEAN FOREST))good shit....Ive been using 2 95 watt cfl full spectrum lights but I really feel that I would produce alot more flowers if I had more light. So my question is will the 150 watt hps make that much of a difference?

YOu still didnt get a clear simple answer which is nothing is going to happen because your late turning on the lights. Its the forgetting to turn them off which will confuse the plants, sounds like your getting the timer which is always best as shit happens. If your gonna mess up then more dark is better than more light once you have gone 12/12 that is. NEver good to forget man what are you doing smoking dope? lol

Hey man your plants wont hermie from missing a light schedule. Some people believe (not me) in giving less light during certain parts of flowering.. Hermies are not caused by bad lighting but rather bad genetics. If it was hermie it would have already shown signs. No worries man just grab up another timer or manually turn em on n off for their 12/12. Stop stressing homie :D Smoke a bowl and relax a little haha Happy growing

No worries brah!

Keep your temps down during the day and you won't have to worry about hermies.

The hermaphrodite condition is cause by heat stressing the ffffffffuuuuucccccckkkkkk out of our girls.

how do you like your 150hps? i didn't want to go with a 400 b/c of heat reasons aswell as pulling a good bit of power so i had been considiring 150 or 250hps for my next grow

thanks man, having a little bit of a ph problem, i lost my normal GH ph drops and am using a pool chemical ph tester, it says that 6.0 - 6.5 is yellowish, but 7 is kinda orange to a reddish. When i put the drops in the test cup after adjusting with ph down, it shows mostly yellowish, but at the same time has a trail of reddish....also my tips are all burnt a lil bit from maybe it being to acidic, wish i could get the camera closer...

it depends on what your growing,i have one plant, i only have this light with a plant cfl light from home depot, i have a fan blowing towards the top of the plant/light so heat is pretty easy to control...

I want to start a mother and get some clones ready this spring on my own for a first with this light on my mother. But if i get the chance to do another indoor grow... ill try cloning and try the spearing technique, it seems that if you have a straight plant with one main cola, you can fit quite a few in there under this light say atleast 15. And the idea of have main cola monsters just ......ohhhh yeaaa u know what i mean:bigjoint:
