Hey everyone the timer I had on my plants failed, I'm so upset. They ahve been in flower for like two and a half weeks.They recieved an extra 44 minutes if light. What could result of this? please anyone let me know what i can do to make it like it never happened!

I agree with these guys^^
44 minutes tacked onto a light cycle will probably be no problem. 44min. of light in the middle of a dark cycle would be a different ballgame.

I screw up the lights 2-3 times every grow. Not trying to, just ... life. Spaced out, it's no problem. Messing with lights on a daily basis? That'll screw you.

i hate when the timer or me screws up, i just changed timers and didn't get the new one set properly so my lights were on for 24 hrs then off for 24 hrs, and my garden was in it's 3rd week of flower....it looks like the stress of it all will result in some different bud density but no hermies and really not that big of a deal. I do think some strains are more stress tolerant then others and you'll see how tolerant yours are as the next few weeks unfold, i might try moving your next and future on time foward the same number of minutes you went over your cycle, it's not the light but the dark that triggers hormone production and flowering, take a safety break and chock it up to experience, jc

One of my timers has been on the fritz since the daylight savings time change. I can't figure anything that is wrong with it though, and it's been functioning properly again for a few days now. That 44 minutes shouldn't cause a problem.
