One of my light timers failed during week 6 of flower and the 'ON' cycle ran over by 3hrs before I found out. I was then forced to buy a digital timer which I cocked up the programming and the lights went over by 2 hours on the following day. Everything resolved now but was wondering how much of a negative effect this will have if any. Thanx in advance.

Don't worry, that's hardly anything your plants will be totally fine.

Nothing will happen. You and your plants will both be OK. That's one reason I don't use timers I manually turn my lights on and off 9 am and 9 pm. Haven't had a problem in a year and a half of growing.

So whats the tolerance level for 12/12 flowering lighting? I mean can it swing between say 10/14 to 14/10 for example? or maybe just 1 hour up/down? Ofcourse this would be for people who dont use/have timers (like me, lol)

Expect little or no negativity from your short malfunction. Not enough time to re-program the litrtle darlings.

Thanx all. I kinda knew the answer but just making sure, with only 2 weeks left and Christmas coming, didn't want chop day to be delayed. Cheers all.
