More my fault than the timers but while trimming yesterday i bumped the plug above the timer out of the socket so i naturally plugged it back into it. In doing so i knocked the switch on the top of the timer on to full ac power. I caught it with about two hours of the girls sleep cycle left so i put them to bed. Question is do i wake them in 2 hours like normal or let them sleep for 12 and they are now one a new schedule? Week 3 of flowering. Thanks in advance
How many weeks flower? I would not change cycle, just get them back to normal hours immediately
Return to regular schedule and donât worry
3weeks3day
Like foreigner said, worry not, just grow on, and if sumthin reveges you will know whyđ¤ˇ
I have had a reveg i have a pound of fox tailed rs11 smokes great at 11 1/2 weeks lol
Any one know of a good digital timer that goes to your phone to? I have everything else on my phone. Temp rh the dehumidifier the humidifier is empty and should not be right now
2 hours isnât a big thing. I change1 hour with the cloaks, Now when I did the same thing for two weeks after flipping then. I was scratching my head and wondering why the didnât start to flower, opps
At week 3 of flowering I would recommend letting them sleep for at least 12 hours.
They may not be that photosensitive and it might be fine to overlook the additional on time and subsequent interruption of one nights cycle but I donât think itâs worth the risk. Iâd just treat what happened as already happened, the day length was extended and thatâs ok. It shouldnât cause much if any stress to the plants flowering phase. I would be more concerned about interrupting a night time that they have already entered because thatâs where most cannabis plants supposedly gauge what âtime of the seasonâ it is.
The way I think about it is, some days are cloudy and dark so day length interruptions arenât as stressful.
During night there is not the same variability. It is dark at night. There arenât nights where there is occasional sunshine. Hope this helps. No matter which decision you choose, feel confident and good about it. I think either way you go will be ok, but I am the type to err on the side of caution whenever possible. I canât think of a downside to leaving the plants in the night for 12 hours, they are expecting this. I can see potential downside to not allowing this expectation of getting 12 hours night once they have entered the night. Hope this helps. Many blessings and much love
No harm done! Theyâll adapt just fine.
2 hours of darkness is all they received, thats 10 extra hours of light for one day. Feels like a big deal.
You are thinking what I was thinking that the sleep cycle is so important that I should have downed them for 12 hours even though the day was long. And let them enter a new schedule. Everyone said leave it though so i did. I guess we shall see what happens.
I noticed the timestamps of the comments with respect to your original post and figured thatâs the route you would take based on the advice given up to that point. Itâs why I made the mention of, whatever you do, feel good about it!
Itâs a very small chance the plants are so photosensitive that this change to one of their night cycles will cause you problems. Feel good about your choice and Iâm sure you will still be rewarded with a nice and successful harvest soon. Plants feel our energy. As mentioned before, I just err on the side of caution whenever possible.
My comments to err on the side of caution come out of a place that is considering your hard work up until this point and the expectations you have across the next few weeks.
I really donât think the plants will show any stress, itâs a small chance that something will be so photosensitive. I donât think itâs something to do if it can be avoided though, so itâs why I recommend how I did.
For relevant context, if something like that happened and say for example you let them sleep 12 hours. Now the 12/12 schedule would start at a different time and that may not be suitable for your human schedule. Or it may not be suitable for the difference in ambient temperatures during that new timing. If you can just leave it at the new timing great that makes things easy but if that new timing complicates things in order to get back on your original more ideal on/off timing it would be best to extend the day length again. So to say, let them sleep the 12 hours they are expecting, and when the lamps turn back on run them longer until your normal off time. Then youâll be back to regular without having impacted any of the night cycles. Instead two days were extended, but thatâs better than interrupting the night cycle because the plants use the length of night to determine their flowering processes. Hope this helps. Many blessings and much love
