Flowering plants accidentally got 24 hours of light....

What would happen if some idiot turned their timer on manual (5 minutes before the light usually goes on because said person had to leave and wanted to top off the buckets) the night before in their grow room which has four plants 60 days into flower and totally forgot that it was left on manual and didn't realize said mistake until 24 hours later?

Is 24 hours enough to revert back to veg or cause herming? All but one of the plants (a 7ft tall SSH) are within 10-15 days of harvest, one will be harvest ready in a day or two. Whats the worst case here?

Not enough to re-veg, but if you try really hard, and have the right genetics, I'm sure you can get them to herm. Two weeks from harvest? You are gonna have to give it a solid government try.

That's reassuring, thanks guys. I did some googling and it turns out that this isn't exactly an uncommon mistake and the general consensus is that they should be fine.

Ok, so they are usually on from 6:30pm until 6:30am. Seeing as the problem was just discovered at 6:30pm tonight, I figure it's probably best to give them the night off and resume normal schedule tomorrow night instead of letting it run for another 12 hours, don't you think?
