    I recently did some renovations to my grow tent and long story short, switched timers around and forgot to double check which was which. So my tent, which is currently 7 days into the flowering cycle, had the lights come back on 5 hours after they had shut off at 11pm the night before. (As you've probably gleaned, this was the timer that should've been on my clones for a 19/5 cycle). Unfortunately, I just realized my mistake and immediately shut them off, but only after they had received about 3 hours of light.

    What is the best course of action now? Leave them off for all of today and just restart the CORRECT cycle tomorrow? Because it was only one week into the flowering cycle, will it just set me back one week? Thanks

    Personaly i would just say continue as normal tommorow. No serious harm should have been done.

    Thanks for the reply. So you mean do the rest of today AND overnight with the lights off, then just restart like normal the next day?

    Im no expert, So im not 100% sure. Thats what I personaly would do. Just to get the flowering hormones to kinda kick back up.

    yeah, I'd just give her a little extra dark to make up

    you certainly don't want her having more light than dark or it'll throw off the hormone balance
