Re-veg mishap in week 7 of flower

A few nights ago I noticed the flower room lights were on 6 hours into the dark cycle. Some of the tabs on one of the mechanical timers had been “bumped” down so the lights would come on for 45 minutes halfway through the dark cycle. Not sure how long this has been going on for, but I suspect for at least a month or two.

The other strains in week 3 are really re-vegging bad. Hope it doesn’t ruin the buds or prolong the flowering time by too much?
The frozen black Cherry by Anesia seeds have it bad




Was wondering why the hell there were sugar leaves sprouting out in between the pistils at every bud site. Thought it was just the genetics but all 3 pheno’s were doing it lol. At least I now know it was me ( again )

What do you guys think the outcome will be?

It’s revegging. It will set it back quite a long time. I’ve had that happen before. It’s a mess. It will take it a long time to go back to full flower.

That is a pretty big boo-boo. @Dexterado got you covered, it will be quite a setback but they will get back on track eventually.

I have re-vegged many clones before from flowering plants but not from so late in flower. Will be interesting to see what happens, hope it doesn’t stress and hermi

Think I may just harvest the 4 plants which have now just started week 8. Will do a trichome check after work today. Damn this sucks!

I found this timer on Amazon and so far it works great and is fairly cheap, $15.99 and the program is battery backed up. Can be programmed for multiple intervals a day down to one minute intervals. If you get it just don’t make an amateur mistake like I did. I modified the program expecting it to wipe out the old program and it didn’t it just added to it. Bad, I went to 3 fills of my hydroponic system a day and it seemed to me like I was getting nutrient burn so I changed the program trying to take away one fill and instead added one and ended up with 4 fills a day instead of 2.

Thanks, I thought of digital timers before but we have rotational power outages where we are so just stuck to the mechanical ones which are reliable but need to re set after each 2 hour black out unless my back up power is running. Just need to remember to cycle the dial setting through the 24hours now and then to make sure they are functioning correctly.
After this F%%& up I wont be forgetting my weekly system checks for sure lol

Power outage is the reason why I suggest this timer, I was having the same problem. As soon as power comes back on, this timer picks up where it left off without having to be reset. Easy to program. Plus it has multiple programmable intervals that can be as short as one minute each which is great if you have pumps that you want to turn on more than once a day. I used to use the type of timer you have but this is light years better far as I can tell. (just remember to reset it before you change the program) :exploding_head:

I misspoke above. It doesn’t pick up where it left off. It starts the timing cycle again right where it would’ve been if the power didn’t go off. Also good if you have to unplug it and move it.

Considering scrapping the stuff that’s in week 4 and starting over. Then harvest the stuff that’s just started week 8 even though the trichs are half milky. I don’t know if they will still finish up properly🙄

@Dexterado I am harvesting the mature stuff ( now week 8 )as the trichomes are good enough at this point, more than half are cloudy.
Should I just leave the others in flower ( in week 4 now ) and pretty much start counting from day 0 again? Or, remove them and re-veg properly then flower again once fully in veg?

That sounds like the best plan to me.

leave them in flower or re-veg completely?

I’d leave in flower.

Update on the plants which were left in flower after the mishap…
Jack Berry has very swollen calyx’s and getting sticky as well as starting to smell lovely. Still has funky leaves but will probably just stay like that because it wasn’t a total re-veg scenario.


And the re-veg Frozen Black Cherry girls buds are hard as rocks but also looking quite alien like lol. So sad I botched this grow, was really looking forward to seeing how these finished off. The clones I took from them will be going into flower in a few days.
