So i decided to flip and go to 12/12 but after 4/5 hours i decided to change the hours because before i was going to have the lights on at night to offset the cold but now being their was so many light leaks i decided to stick to lights on during day also allows me to work on them during the day vs at night so do you think them hours would hurt or hermie them I've also had a problem with this grow with the lights going off about 6 times due to blowing a fuse.. now my second problem is heat went out and my 2nd time for the temps to drop to 40¤ all but a few of them look fine though do you think they will be okay?
do you think my plants will be alright?

4-5 hours will not affect them at all whatsoever, if they didn't freeze they should be ok. Blown fuse 6x means you are overloading your circuit, be smart when correcting this and don't put a bigger fuse in, it's too risky.
Mold? Do You have powdery mildew spots?? never heard of using dish soap other than a tiny drop as a surfactant. Vinegar I have never witnessed either, but if it works.. other than fungicide or sulfur which I avoid, controlling mildew when you can't control the environment has been about making the surface of the leaf alkaline but acid would work too I guess, as long as the leaf surface is inhospitable to mold. FWIW I have not seen mold in years but have controlled it with home remedies in the past with moderate success by spraying leaves with, PH 8-9 water, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda to 1 liter water, 10% skim milk to water.

Hey Ryan. Check out green clean now called green cleaner. Works great for mites and powdery mildew. Best stuff in my 17 years I've ever used.
However ideally you want your room more climate controlled so no mold or mildew happens in the first place.

Plus I gave away alot to friends.
I recommend starting with the small bottle it works great. It's pricey though.

Mixing with water at what ratio? Is it safe on pistils?

If your speaking apple cider vinegar it will slow there reproduction just not kill. Avid works as well just it's semi systemic. I don't want avid on my girls. I used it years ago green clean hands down.
