Expert Opinion Needed - Issue Involving Light Cycle

Hello gentlemen,

I tried to search for this topic first but didnt find a thread that helped regarding my light/time incident parameters.

I am (as of later today) 3 weeks into flowering. My plant showed sex a long time ago and is full off pistils, and a start of bud, just a bit.
My lights on times are from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM.

I was quite baked, so to speak, last night, after a decent smoking session after a long dry spell. This caused to me to fall asleep and miss switching off the lights at 6:00 AM. I woke up up about 4 hours later at 11:00 AM and swiched them off in a panic.

My question is; Can I just leave the lights off till 6:00 PM and then turn them on as usual? To continue with the normal lighting schedule (Its 12:39 Noon now, only an hour and 39 minutes since I turned them off)? Or will this one shorter light cycle following the longer ( by 4 hrs) light cycle this morning, stress/shock my plant? Any danger of it going hermie on me from this?

So to sum up, after 3 weeks flowering, today its light cycle accidentally ended up up 4 hours longer and I wish to see if its possible for me to stick with the original light schedule and carry on.

Any help and expert opinion is appreciated.


regards

they will be fine so long as from what ever time you turned it on you leave it for 12 hours in the dark , so if it turned on at 4 oclock instead of 12 then you need to let the light stay on 12 hours from when the light kicked on , if that makes sense just make sure they continue getting 12/12/ from whatever time they fucked up from

listen coho, go invest in a simple timer, they are really cheap and they make it so you dont have toworry about this type of thing, 1 time or 1 night wont make a diffrence just get them back on a normal schedule, but do this to many times and you will end up with problems, they need to be in the dark for a 12 hr period undisturbed, no light whatsoever.

same as coho, but lol how many times i did that, as i like to be there when i turn of and on, ye i use timmers, but still like to be there to set the temps/air ect for the night time and then back for the day etc, so now i just were a watch with alarm that goes of no matter what, at turn on/of time as well as the timers,
the worst thing you can do thou, is messing about more and then more with the light schedule, by trying to adjust it back that = you know what lol, just scarifaice them few hours light and put them straight back on there normal schedule on the next turn of/, so you get the 12 hours dark, but just lose that 4 hours light this once and back to normal and you be fine,
