im always busy and cant always get home to turn off/on the lights on my hopefully soon to be budding beauty...how much is too much?

sometimes the lights will stay off a whole day....but if the lights ever on more than it should be its only a couple hours the most.

will she bud? or hermie?

yes she can hermie if you consistently screw with it's head

Invest in a timer, its about $6-$15

yea definately...just been too busy....but it really doesnt happen too often im just wondering if anyone knows how much light schedule abuse a plant can take before its hermies....i probably miss once every 2 or 3 weeks

its simple, quit ur bitching if u dont wanna be chilling with she/he's then get your ass out of the house go to homedepot etc to drop the 6 dollars for a timer. Unless of course you'd rather throw down mad effort only to chill with herm-faced-villains instead of simply purchasing a timer, no excuses!

[reef3er]

everyones busy,can always find a spare bit of time to buy a timer,and hey its more accurate than stumblin out of bed or home at night flickin the switch cause your too stoned to remember when they were on or off!! like the people say a few bucks will ease your stress of light schedules and ease the stress on your plants,"there" supposed to believe there growin outdoors in there natural invoroment so light times are essential to get correct,you dont want your plants droppin there bollox on you!

yeah really who doesnt have five minutes? priorities bother! I keep extra timers around cause you'll always run into something you'll need them for.

[Weedhound]

whether or not your plant hermies due to screwing with the lighting depends on a lot of factors but my general rule is about the third time you mess the lighting time up the chances increase a LOT! Generally once can be gotten away with......usually.....any more and you are most likely blowing it.

So you are curious how many times it will take before she freaks-out? Why...so you can go just barely up to that 'limit'...? Tiz a piss-poor way to go about growing your meds. Some strains, the light poisoning can cause nanners the first time or two, depending on how deep into flower she is.

Yield will suffer as she stresses and turns hermie.
Being a new grower, likely you should stop justifying your inactions, and get off your ass.
But hey...it's your grow. (bummer your ladies don't give a shit about excuses, huh...?) :jointsmile:

I figured you posted in the wrong section... was expecting you to talk about having human babies :jointsmile:

Anyway... this post was brutal... offensive... and harsh...

but most importantly HONEST!! :thumbsup:

Although, I feel it is disrespectful to accuse all Hermaphrodites of being villains. It's not their fault... they didn't choose to be that way ;)

:beatdeadhorse:

[jmello]

oh and also thank you weedhound for the answer i was lookin for

If you are gonna use a timer I strongly recommend a heavy duty appliance timer. Why? Cuz they are grounded for one and if you put too much voltage pull on a timer it will burn up or even worse set your home ablaze. You can find a good appliance timer from lowes or home depot usually. Or if you don't mind being gouged, your local hydroponics shops carry them for a nominal fee usually. :)
