Forgot to close down vegging room

I have my vegging room within my flower room. So every morning when the flowering ladies go to bed, I have to manually close down the vegging ladies.
So I am driving around for work today and think...oh shit, i think i forgot to close down the vegging ladies.

I have been growing for a few years and have never had this happen. Should I be very concerned if the flowering ladies are exposed to this light for 12 hours before they "wake up" And SHOULD i, when I get home close down the vegging room or just leave it. I have a range of flowering ladies from 1 week to 9 weeks and am just a little concerned.

Something tells me it isn't a huge deal for just one instance but thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

Ah C'mon...somebody has to be out there. Here I am driving around and and stopping every 5 minutes checking to see a response on my phone. It has been a whopping 35 minutes since i posted and no response. Anybody out there?

As long as your strains arent too picky im sure it will be fine. There is a risk of light stress ("hermie").

You should just leave your schedule as normal now. a one-off event should be fine.

Week nine plant is just fine, not enough time left for stress to show. Week one, it may be too much for. I would go home and fix the issue if I could and watch the younger plants closely for hermie this cycle. I think it really depends on the genetics of each plant. Some strains are more suceptable to issues and some indiv plants are as well.
I know you wanted a "no worries" type answer, but that is a LONG leak and I don't think anyone is going to be able to give it to you. That being said, it's not a "cut your losses and start over" situation either.
 
I agree with AliCakes, the plants that are in the later stages of flowering shouldn't be an issue. As for the younger plants I would also watch for hemie or signs of revegging since they might get confuse with the sudden change of extra daylight time. But again, it all depends on the which types of strains ur growing, the current health status of each individual plant, and the environment their growing in (temp., humidity, ph level, ect.). I would recommend in investing in buying some timers for your grow so you won't have to worry to rush home every time to turn off the lights and such. Believe me, they are worth every penny. I use a 24 hour hygrofarm grounded timer myself. Also, there are plenty of digital timers at local home improvement stores like lowes or homedepot. Just my two cents. Keep growing :blsmoke:

P.S. Here a link to the timer I brought.
