went up to feed my plants today and the f'in light hadn't come on and the ballast was making a hideous noise, after lots of fiddling about their is still no joy with it so I'm going to have to get a new ballast tomorrow from somewhere, but by the time I get back from work the plants would of been in the dark for 36 hours, today was the first day of 12/12, can't believe this has happened so pissed off and I haven't even got a joint

Try not to bite people's heads off if they are off target... your first post doesn't actually have a clear question in it.

Plants should be fine, just keep some ventilation going so they aren't sitting in a dark and moist room. Hope the new ballast solves your problem.

cheers Sarah hopefully it will solve the problem, the extractor is running, just hope the 36 hours darkness won't stress them to much,

and sorry proteus didn't mean to bite ur head off just had a bit of a rough night and then when the ballast broke it seemed like everything was going wrong, thanks anyway

Nevermind luke no harm done. I think if you searched the internet long enough you would probably find an article telling you to leave them in the dark for a week before flowering because it will stress them into resin production. I dont beleive its true but now you are in a position to find out :)

this goes around every now and again, the last time i remember it was about a year or so ago, 'give them 24 hours of darkness before going into 12/12 and they will start flowering quicker'.
i tried it a few times and found no difference what so ever.
