I'm 5 days into my 12/12 cycle and I came home and found my lights off in my closet. Sh!t....and apparently my digital timer's batteries are dead because I needed to set up the schedule again. It took about 5 minute to do so they got some light when they thought it was dark again. I will keep the lights out until the next scheduled period but do I need to worry/watch for hermies the rest of my grow now?

I wouldn't worry about it.

Turning lights off during light cycle is stress free for plants as it is just like an overcast day for them. The only consequence is lost grow time but its not a big deal at all. Maybe it was stuffy for awhile for them if the fan was off but that's not nearly as much of a dealbreaker as light.

So you and your lady are fine.

Alright guys thanks for the quick replies. The fans were actually on analog timers so they where well ventilated.

Cheers
