Hi everyone.
I have 2 plants in my indoor garden under 275w of CFLs. They have been flowering on 12/12 for nearly 2 weeks.
Foolishly when I initiated flowering I decided to have lights on during the day (8am- 8pm) and lights off at night (8pm- 8am). This was intially fine, the garden is well ventilated and temperature was a constant 24 degrees celcius (76).
Then a heatwave started here in the UK and the garden got extremely hot during lights on in the daytime (35 degrees celcius, 94). Consequently the heat from outside and the bulbs started to damage the plants
I have temporarily moved the plants out of the garden today and onto the window sill as a temporary measure due to the heat.
Can I reverse the light schedule so lights are on during the cooler nights and off during the hot days? This would mean 24 hours of light today/tomorrow then 12 hrs darkness from tomorrow morning.
Any advice would be great, don't want to end up with hermies!
Thanks
