Light Cycle 12/12 Error, Mess Up, Help?, Cuss Word Here

[Colorado]

My trimmer put a radio into the room and hit the button on one light of two. The light stayed on 4 Hours Extra. I am 9 days into flowering. I am growing hydroponics. What should I do?

A: Leave as is to have a 8 hour dark cycle today.

B: Unplug the lights at on time for 4 hours to complete the 12 hour dark cycle, and return to normal

C: Change the cycle to begin 4 hours later.

D: Shoot the Trimmer

Should I go ahead and buy the DM Reverse?

Can someone who has years of growing hydroponic cannabis experience for wholesale please reply? Every thread I've found regarding this had replies by beginners
without experience knowledge.

i may not be the wholesale expert you are looking for but i have experience with this issue. I've had the power go out and the lights were off for a day (or a couple days this one time) and i've had lights stay on too long because of timer failures or somebody set it wrong or whatever reason.

My advice would be to go right back to your normal schedule. Act like it didn't happen. I've noticed as long as the outage or "on-age" goes for less than one 24 hr cycle it doesn't seem to effect the plants too much. Even when my lights were off for 3 days the plants still finished fine, they just got stunted a little bit.

Yeah just get your light's back on their normal cycle...You'll be OK
Next time your trimmer need's some tune's you better set up their
radio so this doesn't happen again......
The fact you are growing hydro is not an issue....erratic light cycle's
will stress out any plant whether in soil or hydro.

Thanks, that's what I did, everything seems fine so far. I need to purchase a controller so I can get rid of the timers, but I've waited to get all the equipment to see which one I need. I think I am going to try the Harvest Master Pro Plus, it comes with relays vs CAP I'd have to get the XGC-1e plus 2 UPM's and not have all the options.

I have this one that likes to herm with almost any extra stress. I'd throw it out but I know if I can get it to not herm it will be the some really nice smoke. I am done with it after this cycle and have about 15 strains I can't wait to try.
