We are about 3 weeks from Harvest, Indoor grow, Four Snow White plants and 2 Dutch Dragon, hydro, flora Nova nutes,1300 ppms, 12 hr cycle, aprox 85degree 45% humidity.

I had some problems with new light and timer for a few days and had it on during the night cycle for a few hours. I wonder if disrupted the flowering cycle.

During a four day time span it was messed up. Started on for 4 hours during the night cycle and then after about 4 hours into the day cycle it was off. So that was off by 4 hours. Then because of timer problems off for like 24 hours On for 6 and off for another 24 hours.

So basically my question is, Will this extra growth affect the yield or potency of the current buds? What would be the best course of action, chop it? Bend it? Harvest the lower buds first? Just donā??t worry about it?

From what I could find on the internet I think it could be called a late stretch. The new growth is not just leaves; there are small clusters of bud sites with hairs too.

Has this happened to someone before? I am wondering if the new growth will mature at the same rate as the current buds.

I would really like to hear from someone who has experienced this before.

First three pics are of the Dutch Dragon, second two are the snow white.

Hey Cruzer! I don't have personal experience with this at all but it does indeed seem to have re-veg'd, judging by the new-looking giant one-bladed leaves on top. It also seems like they're heat-stressed and perhaps overfed, along with an improper pH.

I don't know what the best course of action for you would be, but I would check the trichs and see where they're at. I think you might have had more than three weeks left before the light poisoning so they could still be pretty clear. If that's the case I'd just let her go and keep it on a proper light schedule til finish. Yeah, I'd say your yield will be affected, potency probably, and gpw/m definitely. Oh well though, you live, you learn! Keep on growin' and having fun. You'll get there. :thumbsup:
