Thanks for all your replies. I feel much better after reading them. I literally had difficulty sleeping last night worrying about what I had done. My main concern was that I had halted the flowering process and essentially ruined the budding. In addition to your posts, I read elsewhere stories of people leaving their plants in the care of roommates who left the lights on for several days with no obvious ill effects. I'm beginning to think that the hermaphrodite formation may be linked to other stresses as well, and seems to be a problem with plants that have such dense canopies that some lowers flower receive insufficient light. I will be watching them carefully to see if anything odd develops.
Chromophore Reviewed by Chromophore on . Panic Day 20 of flowering. Like an idiot I left two 25watt UVB cfl lamps on during dark cycle. Didn't notice until the HPS lights came back on. So, 12 hrs of 50 watts of UVB CFL on my budding plants during the dark cycle. Without devolving into a debate about the usefulness of UVB (I'm dismantling them as I type) do any of you have an opinion as to whether the flowering cycle has been disrupted, and if so what should/can I do?
