Had an Outage!

[HandyMF4u]

New here, love the site!
I have a problem though....
I just noticed that I had a light outage for about 5 or 6 hours.
I have lights on 12/12 on one side and clones on 24 on the other.... the lights were OFF on both sides for almost 6 hours.
How much of a set back is this with both the clones and the big girls?
Any help is appreciated much.

I doubt it will have any affect on your crops at all. 5-6 hours is not really along time.

Thanks, just freaked me out a little.
I stressed the clones once already and don't want to loose this strain.

Lights off in flower is better than lights on since the dark is what triggers the flowering hormones. Some people run a 18/6 light schedual for vegetive growth. You use 1/4th less power and the plants are allowed a rest period just like "all" living things need. So 5 to 6 hours of a dark cycle won't bother a thing with your grow. At the most it would help it by allowing the plants some down time to recoupe from all the lumens you are bombarding them with.
