    So last night something happen and my ballast fries. Stunk up my whole house and left me without a light for 13 hours. This morning I picked up a solis tek 1000 watt digital ballast at my hydro store for only 170$ and set it up. My question is should I flip them to flower now since the lights were off for 13 hours? I don't want to stress them and make them hermie. I did want to veg then another 2-3 weeks but if there is a chance of them becoming hermie I'll just flower them now

    Generally hermaphrodite flowers appear late in bloom... Not your concern.

    Keep vegging x2

    Is it better to veg under 24-0 or 20-4? I been doin 24/0. Electric bill is not a problem

    Personal preference. If you havnt encountered any issues keep em on 24-0.

    I prefer a dark cycle but many growers do 24 hour veg

    i do 18/6 normally just so the lights do not get the undivided attention of nosy passerby's.

    I don't have to worry about that. I've creeped around my house at all hours of night looking for light leaks and there are none lol

    I did too, that is why I use 18/6, I have a cop lives directly across the street and have about 12 officers in my gated community. looking and smelling normal is my watchword.
