manual timer was set 15 minutes off so my girls got an extra 15 minutes of light for the first 2 weeks of flower and I am wondering how bad I fucked up, oh and yes I'm a first time grower would anyone know anything about this
yeah they are budding in the last few days ( about day 9 of the stretch) but I don't know if it would have been sooner if I didn't screw up and did I mess up the count of days to harvest
15 minutes isn't a problem. It's not the amount of light that sets them to flower, its the amount of dark. As long as they get at least 9 hours uninterrupted dark they will flower with no problems. Think of the extra light similar to the days getting shorter toward the end of summer.
Not a problem at all, I'll sometimes flip my lights on 15-30 minutes early in the beginning of flower to water em and shit
