My Timer was bumbed to "Random Mode"???

[thebandit777]

Man oh man, can I ever be screwed like this at any other worse TIME??

I was in the middle of week 3

I watered the girls 2 days ago, that night I must have accidentally bumped the "MODE" button and set the TIMER to "RANDOM"...

I have my On/Off, Set for 9pm-on/9am--off.....

I didn't Look in the tent untill today @10:50pm and the lights were off..

Does anyone know What kinda Damage was done to the girls in the 36 hours that the TIMER was set to Random???

Has anyone experienced this before???

Does anyone know what excactly it means to be set on "Random"?? DOes it use the 9pm/9am setting to turn off and on???

Random Mode AKA the hermie switch. Random mode is for people that time their lights for security. It cause the lights to turn on and off randomly so that it looks like someone is home. 36 hours isn't that long, but I think you're about to find out if you have hermie genetics.

To elaborate further...

Your lights may have been going on and off several times for an unknown amount of duration each random time.

The "Hermie switch" indeed yikes, good name for it weedninja

Timers SUCK! one of mine failed yesterday and left my girls under 36hours light at 7 weeks 12/12.. if you can, block that switch off with some tape or something...


I wish you luck mate.

Thanks all... Much appreciated... So now i will tell you all how it's goin' i guess...


Pretty good acctually.

SO after trippin' for hours slapping myself in the head for it, I came up with a plan, I am very analytical by Nature anyways so I wnet ahead and took that timer ecactly the way it was in the tent, and plugged it in in my bedroom with a Lamp plugged into it...

I left it on Random and have been noting what times it turns on, it really isn't all that Random becuse it only differentiates by 5-10 minutes..

SO... the best part about it all is that the Random is only triggered during my 9-9 ON hours, and all through out the 9-9 OFF Hours it doesn't turn on not once


BUT, I know..... On and Off during ON hours is a whole lotta shit too... But I like to think that it is still better than it doing it all day long 24 hours a day 7 day a week...

So I am hoping and fighting for the best yall...

JAMIESHOES-- I WISH YOU LUCK TOO MY FRIEND GOD BLESS!
