light timing flucuations?

[DCrist721]

I was wondering, If i have my plants on 18/6 and I turn the light on/off manually, this could result in up to maybe an hour of difference at most everyday. Would this be that bad for the plant or cause it to prematurly flower? Also, if I f*** up one day really bad with lighting (like forgetting to turn it on or off for the whole day), could one day of light alteration throw it into flowering? The timers I have arent reliable and I feel I could do a better job b/c sometimes they get stuck, but I can't turn the lights on and off at the exact same times every day. Thnaks for the help

you shouldn't have to big a prob during veg but when it's time to flower you need to adhere to strict 12/12...by the way what type of lights are you using and have you consider veging 24/7?

I havent ever had any troubles with light exposure being off here and there once in awhile. I do my lights manually as well.

Why not just get a new timer?

Well theyre on 24/7 now, b/ I planted the 2 germinated ones sunday and they have yet to srpout, but after they're out of the seedling stage I need to keep the lights off for a little bit to allow the temperature to drop a wee bit.

if the plant hasnt hit the soil then it dosnt need light.
