Did I screw up bad? I just went to switch bulbs for flowering only to realize I had flowering bulb in the whole 8 weeks of veg...I was at 18/6 and now switching to 12/12.... They grew beautiful I just hope they still flower.
Thanks 1stimer....

Yes you can use either bulb the entire grow and it will be fine. It's the 12 hours of darkness that forces it into flower, not the type of bulb. Your girls will be fine

Beautiful veg......beautiful blooms. You will be fine. I know this is controversial, but I would consider putting them under a 24 to 36 hour period of darkness to let them know you mean business.

Thank you thank you thank you.....they are BEAUTIFUL!!!..
I'm also new to this forum so thanks for the feed back and I'll definitely be coming with more questions about my ladies.

Many use 1 12/12 light schedule for the entire grow - the results are tall and lanky plants with medium to small buds

I guess I would only do that if I was really, really worried about my electric bill.

a good vegation stage is really necessary for a good harvest - I agree with the lower electric bill

Okay...dummy of the day has arrived. All I ask please all don't yell at me at once. So dummy ( me) must of hit my closet lite switch ( 40watt) bulb in the closet was on all nite and didn't notice obviously when my lite went out last nite. I noticed this morning. I'm in my 3rd. Week of flower. How screwed am I?

Probably OK, worst case might start to vegetate. Just go back to 12/12 they will get the idea and go to flower.

Ditto what Charlie said. If it doesn't happen again, I think you will be just fine. FYI, during last week of two many growers switch to 13 hrs dark, 11 hrs light. Just a little hint that you mean business. May help them to really fatten up.

Watch for hermaphroditism. Check you plants thoroughly for male pollen sacs. Check your buds for "nanners" which look like little bananas coming out of the buds.

This is your primary concern IMO.

That sounds like a really common thing that happens, you're no dummy!!!!!! ✨ Never let anyone put you down, especially yourself!!!! 🌱
