    Hey guys I got a phone call at 1 this morning from my mate telling
    That my timer had failed and lights were still on 1 hour and 50 mins after they should have gone off.

    I asked him to switch them off for me and back on again at 11am when they were due to come on.

    I am currently about 3 weeks into flower could that extra two hours potentially of messed things up I'm super paranoid about them turning hermi on me? Thanks gc

    One occurrence of additional light will not cause any problems. Repeated interruption of the dark cycle is what causes problems. Do not worry too much, and there is nothing you can do even if it is a problem. There is way too much hermi hysteria on this forum. This is only problematic for flowering plants, not plants in the veg state.

    We use Titan inline timers..they are about 40 bucks or so.
    Apollo 4 I think they are called.
    They are built to last.
