im 3 days into flowering, everything was going fine untill this afternoon, when 3 hours into darkness, my light timer decided to fail, and turned itself on. i only noticed 4 hours later. Are my plants doomed to be male? i know it'll only be about a week until i klnow for sure, but could anybody put my mind at rest? And please could sombody that has gone through this reply, no guesses or third parties
I haven't had this specific thing happen, but I've interrupted the light cycle of my own plants many times. If I need to check on them when it's dark, I turn the lights on. If I need to mess with the lights when they're on, I turn them off. I just keep it to a minimum and everything is fine. In your case I seriously doubt that a one time accident will permanently mess up your plants.
your fine, intrupting light cycles doesnt automaticaly mean hermi.. just increases the chances of one.
As long as you don't do it every night you should be fine. Also since it's only day 3 you should be fine. They are just starting to release hormon to tell them to flower. May take up to a day more at the most to bud up but it shouldn't be that big of a problem.
My plants got 8/16 for one day during the 3 week of flower and it is 4 weeks later and they are still fine.
