Lighting Question.

[spiked666killer]

Okay so my plant is about 45 days in to flowering, Give or take a couple days.
What is the negative impact on the plant not getting exactly 12 hours of darkness?

Like the other night I didnt get home to shut the lights off till 4 hours after they were to go out , And last night my timer shut the lights off, But I had another surge pertector with a light pluged in that I did not shut off.


So today the plant gets only 6 hours of dark instead of 12!.

Possibly... the "H" word (ends with -ermie)... :mad:

I think you gotta screw up 3 nights for that to happen, but that's not written in stone...

Ohh alright, Well the whole time the plants been in flowering It has had light leaks, Cause I cant totally block out the lights with a sheet lol.

Ive been watching it the whole time its been in flowering and I havnt saw any signs of hermie *Knocks on wood*

I was just afraid it would stop budding or something.

nah it will bud a bit more, but from what I know is once the buds get pollinated that they bud stops growing and puts it's effort into seeding it :wtf: I read it in Ed Rosenthals: Marijuana Growing Indoors....Which is a lot of times people will harvest early to avoid that, but shit supposedly a hermie gives you feminized seeds, so who would complain with that?! My opinion if it does hermie I'd let it seed so you have some fem. seeds for future grows:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

that's a good read worth taking a look @.

They are too far into flower to be hurt by timing issues unless it happens frequently.
