Buddiestarted grow question 4 years ago
So I got a new timer and messed up schedule. Plants got 16 hrs of light, turned lights out as soon as I noticed (5am). 11am-11pm light.(5 weeks into flower) Should I let plants have 12hrs dark now and resume 12-12 , or let lights come on at 11am(6hrs dark)

Keep trying to cycle 12 hours of dark.. There is no guarantee your plant has not been stressed enough to hermie but you wanna do 12 hours of "Straight dark". The whole idea is that when it's in Darkness it has a biological mechanism that tells it "flower time". When you interrupt those cycles the plant doesn't know what "season" it is and it stresses the plant out. By having the 6 hours of dark again your stressing it out even more and pushing the chances of hermie even higher.. I hope this helps and kind of explains the Mechanism behind Flower and why it works the way it does.. Happy growing.
