Light trouble !!

[driftwood]

Came home last Thursday to find my lights out . I'm 5 week into veg . Over the last few days I finally resolved the issue to be shoddy wiring in my attic . If I could show you the pictures of the mess of wirer nuts and crap just stuffed under the isulation w/o a box or anything it 's mazing we haven't burnt up in a fire ! And we have lived here for 8 years with it like that ...
Anyhow the lights at best they have had at least 12hours or more of light each day with that being a sporadic intervals . Light are fixed and wired PROPERLY at this time and for see no more issues .
In the meantime I need another 2 weeks of veg or more or that's what I had planned .
How far back has this placed my plants ? They do not appear harmed in any way . Or at this point would it just be hormonal and correct it's self in a few days and revert back to veg ?
I now need a much shower to wash the layer of insulation off and take a huge ripper . Thanks to my bro who came over and threw his weekend away to save US and the girls .
Next house I will trace EVERYTHING from my lights to my breakers first !
Much love ~~~:bongin:

How long were they off for? it should be fine if it was only a few days. I was watering my crop a few weeks ago before going to tahoe to snowboard and I left my hydrohut unzipped, come back 5 days later to find my UK Cheese which was 3 weeks into flowering. It has been about 2 weeks since the fuckup and they are doing great, no male flowers. I wouldn't be too worried, seems like you corrected the problem before it got out of hand. Some pics would help though.

if you are saying it was only 12 hours, then in my opinion it's no big deal at all. Sometimes when I get un-femmed seeds to play with I will take them from the slower room and almost light dep. them in a closet and force them to flower so I know the sex of the plant. I will then take the females and put them back under a 24 hour light cycle and in just a couple days or less they revert back to the vegg stage and stop flowering. I've never had any problems with this method before. However, I vegg for longer than most. Some people try to do these real quick turns, in which case this will slow your process but only by a few days imo, which is nothing in a longer vegg.

my power went out the other day, humboldt needs to get there power situation figured out. I lost all of day 14 in my flower cycle. No problems have come from it though. If anything it just really speeded up the flowering process imo.

i think ive heard of this actually being a technique to get a larger harvest, but dont quote me on it. also, in my experience a messed up light cycle is nothing to worry about. however, turning on lights during the dark cycle or seepage is a whole nother story.

Everything looks great . Light have been fixed for a week . The girls don't look any worse for the experience . Infact They don't seem to have missed a beat .
Much love ~~
