Accidental flowering - short time - back to veg okay?

[pyappy]

Hi there, long time reader and first time poster - please be kind.

 

Well, I'm growing  2 Super Skunk and they're going very well (about 3 weeks old and on an 18/6 cycle) however I stupidly messed around with my timer and accidentally switched them into a flowering 12/12 cycle which I noticed this morning.

 

I cleaned/messed around in my grow space 3 days ago so the plants have only been in this 12/12 cycle for three days.

 

My question : Is it okay to switch them back to 18/6 or have I started a cycle which I must now stick to i.e. 12/12?

 

I've 'googled' this and have come across many 're-veg' articles however they've all been for plants which have been flowering for some time and have developed flowers or have spent a considerable time (certainly more than 3 days) in the flowering stage.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated - perhaps I'm just panicking over nothing but I've never done this before.

 

Cheers and have a good day!

Yeh I wouldn't be too worried at all switching back to 18/6.

 

Even if they had started to flower worst thing is they will take a week or so to reveg, in which they stop growing.

3 days isn't too bad. I doubt it was long enough to switch them. Just carry on as normal.

 

Thank you cooper.

Appreciate the response - I've placed them back at 18/6 and they seem fine.

Sound logic.

I wasn't sure if I had triggered some kind of 'irreversible hormone' but you're correct - the worst thing that could happen would be a period of reveg.

Subsequently, I placed the girls back in vege and, to be honest, they didn't skip a beat.

It's all a learning experience.

Thank you for the reply!

Thanks Dallas.

 

Mate I'm still coming to terms with how to navigate forums but when I do I'll include pictures - I've never been the greatest with technology! 

 

Albeit, they look very healthy and seem to be humming along quite nicely.

 

Cheers!
