Two weeks back I had an accident in the room where I keep my two WW, the heater and light fuse had blown and my growtent had freezing temperatures. This was in 3rd week of flower (after changing to 12/12)
The plants got 23 hours of darkness and temps gradually dropping down form 18C to 0,5C. (its -10C outside)
I changed out the fuse and turned on the LED lights and the heaters and let them run for a while not to stress the plant by shock heating the canopy with the HPS. Then I reverted it back to the original time cycle. The plants looked ok, but a bit droopy and I went to bed worried about them dying or getting stressed.
I must have stumbled on to some secret method here, 1 days after the fuckup the plant responded by stretching like crazy! I went from almost no stretch the first 3 weeks to crazy amounts of stretch the first day after back to normal light and temperature! It continued stretching during most of week 4 before it stopped.
Im now in week 5 day 2 and the plants looks amazing.
