...what does this mean??? Obviously I have a new timer to go in today, but is this going to delay harvest, would it revert itself to veg again?? I am probably overreacting, but I just don't know what to expect...

It got like 48 hours of uninterrupted light at five weeks into flowering? Not good, chance of hermies and/or other problems.

Didn't think it was good, damn it!!! I am so frustrated with things this week, fans breaking, heating pad not working, now a timer...my ohter plant was a hermie....ahhhhhhhhhhhh.....

I don't know if it was 2 days or not. I was not there on Wed, but I think/hope it would have been noticed. I know for sure it did not get any dark lastnight, so definately light on since 11 am Thursday morning and it's now 5 pm Friday.

Soooo I basically cross my fingers and hope nothing happens????? It could hermie...what else??

Can I do anything, like go shut the light off NOW and change the 12/12 on/off time??

My timer did not work also. My plants got a extra 7 hours of lights. That happened four days ago. They look fine and are still drinking water and show no signs of hermies. Am I in the clear? This only happened one time.

Thanks in advance

I don't know when your 12 of dark would normally start, but I think just let it ride until you are back on your regular schedule. Then just keep treating them nice and hope for the best.

Check my journal if y'all want, but I could seriously cry. 8 days ago, my pics kicked ass...today I have a yellowing, 15 leaves a day falling, multiple fans breaking, heating pad failing, timer bused pissed off MJ plant!!! She smells freaking beautiful, but I dunno if she's gonne be around long enough to make IslandMon a happy mon!!!?!?!?!

whats the soil runoff PH ...... current/fresh reading

IslandMon · #11 (**permalink**) 04-01-2007, 03:24 AM

Last watering PH in was 6.45...runoff was 6.6??...Ganja, have you looked at my journal at all?? Not pushing it on you, but there is more detail and lots of pics in there...I could use all the advice GC has to offer bro!!!

WOW ........

plants dont grow under 55F or over 90F, I see total NPK & a couple micronute def's,

you had 3 days 100F plus temps from broken fans

you had 2 days 40F temps,(this one really hurt).............. 1 day regaining temps

total days not growing....6 days........

and now 2 more days 24hr lites while in bud

how much stress did this cause the plant?............ 5-7 days?

total time 10 days - 2 weeks interupted fruiting period

The temp drops caused the plant to stop pumping up nutes, while the roots were too cold to perform, the mobile elements, nitrogen, potassium,& phosphorus that you now notice are showing defeciencies, were being taken from the leaves because the roots cant deliver.... thats why the plant is dropping leaves and yellowing prematurely

If you can get on an even keel you can expect these girls to be 10 days - 2 weeks later finishing than expected........unfortunately they were soo close to finishing I also wouldnt be suprised if they didnt put on much more weight, it will most likely be just a wait to ripen from this point.....

sorry dude

Well that sucks!!

I appreciate the info, and you checking in on the journal. Next grow I will wait to start up until I have a kickass room setup so I don't runinto these issues. This has been a great learning experience though.

Just for an update, I am still taking about 5 leaves a day off( down from 10 a day), but the ones that are staying attached to the plant are getting some green back in them.

Here's a shot...I will post this on my journal too for comparisons.

1. Pic of yellowing, but not as bad.

OOh I almost forgot, this baby is missing a head now too...I was trying to get some runoff PH #'s and was having a hella hard time, and somehow I got the top caught and it snapped the branch over on itself...so I just cut it off. I dried a bit, and it actually got a be a little buzz...sucks sucks sucks though. This project had been going so well...
