Probably cost you a week at worst. Always have to watch for nanners but i always hear its wirse ro interrupt the dark period than the light period. I had it happen twice last run without herms.

You'll be fine dude, plants have been around a long time, and can take a day with out light, but what I want to know is, will this spur them on to become bigger and stronger plants because if the light out, and if they are bigger this time round, will you do the lights out thing next time. lol

Nice setup you have and some nice plants also. I'm late to the show but if you don't mind I will pull up a chair and enjoy the rest of the grow.

Well Fuck! I got home this morning, checked on the plants and the light is out. WTF! So, I check the timer (analog) and it was only on for an hour!!! So basically the situation is this;

The plants had their normal 12 hour dark cycle. Then the light came on for an hour, and then has been off the last 11 hours. Which means I’m almost to the next dark cycle. During that 11 hours, they were watered as the res and pump are on a separate circuit. However, there was no light, fans, or dehumidification.

As there is not really shit I can do about it now. I fixed the power issue and got the fans and exhaust running again. I adjusted the timer so it was about 45 minutes into the dark cycle, and I’ll check them in the “morning”............dammit.

Update: Day 28 of flower

The girls have stopped stretching a little sooner than I would have liked. But I can work with this. It’s amazing how much they DON’T stretch when I’m not moving the light way high haha. Plus I flipped sooner this round. The node spacing this run is awesome! They should be some nice fat colas!! I have continued to cut a few leaves here and there that were covering lower buds, or all up in its neighbors business.

I’m getting a little purple streaks on the main stems. I’m thinking they need more P, and it was cold the first few week of flower. So I adjusted the additives this week in the res. I didn’t want to increase the ppm and give more base nutes as the canopy looks great and is very green. No tip burn, and I want to keep it that way.

This weeks mix:

DM A&B = 500ppm
Overdrive = 150ppm (more P)
Big Bud = 50ppm (last I had)
B-25 = 50ppm (trying to cut down on N)
SLF-100 (enzymes)
Total = 750ppm

Still running the pump for 2 min,3x a day.

I’ve decided I’m going to order a HydroPlanet 4’ 8 bulb T5 light for the veg area. I like the structure the plant gets under T5’s just fine. Once I get the 2’ T5 back in the cabinet, I’ll clone the #1 plant.

This is just before light on today. Happy growing everyone!

Now that the girls are in full bloom, I moved the light down to 18” off the canopy. Light levels peaked around 40,000 Lux mid-canopy. They should be able to handle it at this stage. Canopy depth is about 10” off the net.
