couple of days till harvest

[Rodrigo]

Hello, community.

It's been a while since I logged in last, lots to do. But I come with an easy enough question.

I'm on day 66 of flower, I'm gonna harvest this Sunday (3 days from now) and the thing is this:

To make a long story short, every night I have to open the tent so it doesn't get too hot in there and in the morning I have to close it to avoid fluorescent light from the room to enter the tent and disturb the flowering cycle.
Well today I left my house early and forgot to close it (at 9am) so it was open all day, the other lights (fluorescent) were on until 13:00, so they got an extra 4 hours of mild and scattered light, not sure if enough to break the sleep cycle. then the fluorescents came back on at 19:00 and the tent is supposed to be dark until 22:30, so again they received a few hours of extra light.

So I know that plants recover from something like this, but I know it doesn't happen in 3 days, so my question to all of this is, is it worth it to keep them for 3 more days or should I just harvest now.

So pretty basic issue.


Thanks a lot, everyone.

Glad to see you around again Rodrigo! Any issues that the extend light cycle would have caused would not be realized in the ladies for at least a week or two as it takes that long for any stamens to form. I would stay the course and harvest as you had originally planned.

Thanks, Colorado. I'll stay the course and harvest on Sunday as planned.

I'll be starting a new journal with the next cycle, I should start the next flower cycle in about 12 days. I'll be flowering AK-48, Blue Mystic and Critical+. I'm only familiar with the AK so hopefully the others will give me good results. For the first time I'll be using a full complete cycle of nutes+enhancers. (Sensi Bloom + Big Bud + Overdrive). Also now that the summer is gone the temps will be perfect for growing for the next few months so the next 2 cycles should be the year's best.

Wish me luck!

I had a much worse (longer) duration of light contamination a few weeks back. My incident occurred much earlier in the flowering stage. I kept with them a didn't have any hermies.

With you only being a few days out you shouldn't have any problems.

Yeah I wasn't expecting any problems with this, I was just wondering if those few extra hours would cause the flowering to halt and so keeping them the extra 3 days wouldn't be necessary and I could harvest early (today). I'm just eager, as always, I really love my strains and I've been out for weeeeeks so I just wanted to try some .

Thanks a lot!
