PLEASE HELP possible lighting problem in flowering

[mikecram]

I started me plants into flowering last week. I have one light 1000w GPS on a seperate circuit, and an apparently faulty timer. For three days that one light out of the 7 has remained on an additional few hours after the other have cut off. I am afraid of causing them to pollinate themselves and turn male. Growing from clones. Should these few days worry me? Any help is appreciated. Also, does it look like bleaching on a few of my tops. I've had a little droop since.flowering. average of 60 to 70 degrees night to day.

Did you get your day/night cycle fixed? I'd give it a week or 2 before deciding what to do.. Are you thinking the light stress is going to cause you problems, or are you already seeing you plants go hermi?

Plants look fine, ill post a pic. Was just worried that I wouldn't see it until down the road. I appreciate the help a lot.

You're welcome on the help and probably going to be fine.. put your pics up when you can. Good luck!

Here are the pics. Drooping went away. Healthy and stiff as a wedding dick. Still worried of possible hermi..

They're looking great and I don't think you'll have problems... What was the source of these plants? Cut, seed? Strain?

They are cuttings. Cherry lime, silver haze, blue mist. The cherry lime has a natural droop at times and grows stringy if you don't cut your tops in veg, but after that it grows delicious buds that actually taste like cherry lime. It also has a very light coloring. I feed foxfarm, and outgrow, and hygrozime in veg. Then foxfarm 1-4-5 in flowering with 1 part Indonesian bat guano, and two parts Jamaican or Mexican for phosphorus in take for fertilizer every 3 week. Great white mycorhizzaide every 12 days. It develops and eco system around the roots an allows them to absord nutrients better. Probably the most important if you have acid water. And sunshine #4 mix soil.

Sounds like you got it goin' on.. Pretty much what I do, except you seem a bit more organic during flowering with the natural nutrients. Me, I use all advanced, pretty much the full stack, but at the right time and dose (about 1/2 of what is recommended). I also add their products (including active microbes) that improve root growth during the first couple of weeks of flower. Pro earth #2 for me. Growing more seeds than cuts since I went back to 1 room..

I'm always a little paranoid about hermi's so I'll be interested to hear how this goes for you.
