No light!

[dazza]

Anybody know the effects if your lighting goes off for an hour or so? i have heard heaps of stories, anybody know for sure?

[Guest Urbanhog]

I have been told that its the lights turning on during the darkness during the budding stage does more harm than the light go off for little while during when the lights on cycle.... but I can't confirm that.

Dazza ya need to be a bit clearer...are you talking during flowering or growing...?

 

Growing....its no biggie..

 

Flowering its no biggie if it happens once and then doesnt happen again...repeated light interuptions may revert your plants back to growing...

 

No light for an hour during flowering?...is this what u mean?...are you talking about it being off during the light cycle? If so...shit happens, just try not to make it happen again...unless its a power blackout...that sucks...sometimes they can strobe your plants....

 

Um.....yeh

It wont matter buddy, if possible after a blackout, set your timer to what it would have been at without the blackout.They wont notice a 1 or 2 hr gap in their lighting, but they may notice they were keppt awake a few more hours. Edited August 18, 2003 by white_cluster

Yeah sorry i was so unclear Field of light, i was so tired i was literally falling asleep when i wrote that last night. I had a one hour interuption of power during the flowering cycle last night. Good thing i checked on them before going to bed or i would have had an entire "day" of night for my babies. Bloody multisocket plugs with them farkin overload switches that are rated at 2400 w and kick out at 1200w!!! I am going to replace it today as it must be faulty, never had that problem before.. I have only a few weeks to go so i don't want the poor babies to turn hermaphro. on me.

thanks for the info. field of light(yet again) white cluster and urbanhog...

respect 2 ya
