Accidently had light on 25/0 for a day during flowering..

Hi again,
Right now is my 5th week of flowering and last night i accidently messed up my light. My light was set to 9am on 9pm off but i wanted to change it to 9pm on 9am off and it was 2 hours after the light went off i turned it on for 22 hours and now it continues 12/12 for the rest of its life, will there be a problem with it trying to go back to vegitative?

The best thing is to leave it alone.
I have left lights on during flower with no issue.
I have changed the on/off times with no issue.
I haven't done both at the same time, but your chances increase with every variation from the plants schedule you make. so let it ride!

I agree, it'll be okay if it happens just once

No, they need to be getting 18+ hours a day until you want them to start flowering. If you keep them under 12/12 for 5 weeks they'll start flowering and then have to revert back into the vegetative stage when you change the light schedule back, which can cause the plant to grow very strangely and slowly for a while. I would avoid that if possible.

Can you start your seedlings somewhere that gets more light a day, for example under some fluorescent lights?

Well, I have a 600w/276w draw LED light and a 4 4ft t5 fixture, I took out the 4 ft t5 fixture and I'm trying to set it up in my garage near the grow tent. This fixture gets kinda warm at 2-3 inches away, which should be good for warming up the coco coir (which will be in small cups) to get the seeds to sprout. It'll be in the garage like this for about 6 weeks then transfered back into the grow tent with big 7 gallon smart pots. Do you think the plants could get bugs while in the garage? it's coco coir and I read that that medium doesn't get bugs often.

Ok, I just went to home depot, bought black magic coco coir mix, put it in 4 one gallon pots and put them in a line about a foot apart and planted a seed in each one about a knuckle deep. The 4 light fixture is about 3-to-4 inches away and I think it came out nicely, my buds on my current grow are getting HUGE

Your plants can still get bugs, but it's a lot less likely in coco than in soil! Many cannabis bugs need a soil environment to thrive. Make sure the area around your plants is really clean, and make sure never to go straight from your outdoor garden to your indoor one, and just watch closely for signs of bugs

Can't wait to see updates, your plants look great!

I'll make a post bragging about by plants tonight!
