I've got to laugh at myself...

Newbie mistakes 101: I didn't realize there was a switch on the side of the timer that actually activated the timer function.

So I've been thinking I've been running 18/6 and it's been 24/0. Good thing it's the first 4 weeks, and they're autos. (I guess that's one of the reasons I was told to start with autos!)

I think I've been doing everything else right for the most part, so it's just one of those things...

More mistakes to come, but I thought you'd all get a chuckle out of that. Carry on...

I'll laugh with you and not at you. :P ..The first thing I do when a new timer comes into play is secure those on/off switches with a piece of HVAC tape.

Appreciate that @Just Be I laugh at myself often.

I'm just excited to see if there's a difference in growth. Seeds only sprouted 30d ago today, so I guess it's not too late!

Hey Cpt the best growers are the ones who have made the most mistakes and learned from them.after years of screw ups and knowing to check things twice on my current grow my timer was on 13 hours light when i flipped them not 12 did not notice until week 6 of flower so you can laugh at me as well.they are still doing well but feel foolish, like Just Be I tape the switch but took the tape off and replaced it with new tape at 13 hours.your plants look great keep up the good work.oh autos at 24 will not hurt anything.again they look great.its good you can laugh at yourself lifs more fun that way
