Desperately Need Help!

rcdunn1

I have a major problem here. Apparently, yesterday, while doing my grow room maintenance, I moved my light up and I guess I hit the 24hr switch on my timer. I just found out about an hour ago that the light has been on for the past 24 hrs. Plants look ok, other than leaves being droopy from lack of water. What do I need to do? They need the water badly and will get their first feeding any time now. I have the lights off right now. Since I'm 6 1/2 weeks into flowering ( and everything has been going great),what should I do to keep from throwing them back into the vegetation stage? Should I let them go the whole 24hrs without light, but continue to feed them even though the lights are off?

Please! Any advice on this would really be appreciated!

switch back to 12/12 immediately, a single day of 24/0 does not do to much damage, as soon as the lights are off mist them down with pH water. normally they should recover within the next 72h quite well just don't do it again and if the soil is dry now feed them some water but add only lightly fertilizer as they are a bit stressed now.

I didn't look like it did much damage, the leaves aren't drooping too bad. I guess I should have mentioned I am growing hydroponically. Right now should be my "lights on" time, which I feed 3 times a day during this time. My lights come on at 6am and go off at 6pm. If I understand you right, I should leave my lights off for now, then go back to my regular schedule at 6am tomorrow morning? And should I let them feed today with the lights off? They've already had one feeding this morning.

Hey Rcdunn1,Just like green said one time wont mess them up.But dont do it again for it's late in flowering cycle.Turn your lights on now at the noramal time.Get back on 6am to 6pm.Turn them on and have them go off at 6pm and come back on at 6am,normal time.What and how are you feeding them.Flood, bubble tub,drip?Just put them back on your same feeding program.Dont change it up,you will stress the plant.
Here's alittle way to think about the lights, Mother Nature clouds up the sky and turns it black and rains like cats & dogs for a day or so.Then the sun come back out.The lights off one time like that wont hurt them,they will start back photossynthesis and useing the nutr you been feeding them as soon as the lights come on.Most of the time the plant will up take water when the lights are off,that's why you check the ppm's every couple of days.When the ppm's drop that's when the plants uptaking nutr and when the ppm's go up the plants uptaking water.Get the lights back on and you will be fine. Peace

Thanks man! I'm using a drip system and feeding 3 times a day. I just wanted to be sure I was gonna do this right since the lights have already been on 24hrs continuously (since 6am yesterday until 7am this morning) when I realized the problem due to the humidity being different. I didn't want them going back into the vegetation stage. I'm turning my lights back on now, do I still need to mist the leaves with pH water? Since I've never done that before and the plants don't look that bad.

green_nobody

as token told you

if they don't look too bad then you can cut the misting for sure - i had no idea how bad they looked after your dramatic call here without a picture to the your post

so, just return to your old cycle, double check pH and EC and if this is okay then grow on as it never had happened

I can see why you are so protective...they are good lookin budz....i'm sure they be fine......are those T5 lights to flower? How many tubes/watts for how much area...are you happy with them?

rcdunn1

Yeah, there is one 2' 6 bulb T5 3500K bloom bulbs on top and two 2' TT55 3500K on the sides. As far as being happy...I really can't complain, but I also have nothing to compare it to since this is my first indoor grow. I plan on using HPS for flowering on my next grow. I'm growing in one side of a small closet, approximately 3' by 3' area. I hope this kinda answers your question.

yes thanks it does, Jangel was also happy with the T5's and I was thinking of incorperating them into small grow box
