Help, I messed up my 12/12 photoperiod

Hi, about week 5 I had a few days where my electricity was off/ on, my plants had about two days of messed up photoperiod where the 12 on and off shifted. i corrected this after 3 days or so and then continued with my 6pm 6am 12 12 period.

This continued i saw a decrease in growth rate on the days following that initial shock. things ran fine then up to week 7, i started to use overdrive, this morning, i woke to find my lights still running (one 600 W out of 2200W).

When you do get these photoperiod mess ups what can i expect from my end and final yield, a reduction im sure, but is it possible that if i run the plants longer than intended, and due to the fact it was just a light time issue that they will "Catch up" if you will.

They look lovely strong and smell tidy as hell, but i know from experience my fat buds should be fatter.... can someone just shed some light on the situation and educate me on the best way forward now, and will running longer help me regain some lost time or is it just game over as far as thats concerned?

3 days of messed up lighting isn't enough to send them back into veg. It takes at least a week and a half of 18/6 to get them to fully "shift gears". You may have stressed them a bit, but I would not worry too much about it. It's not going to impact your yield. I would consider investing in a small generator strong enough to run your setup if you live in a place where the power is sketchy. Best of luck.

I wouldn't worry about losing yield from something like you're describing, or prolonging flower. the only thing you can do really do is get your electric problem sorted whether its breakers, timers, or something else.

but will it prolong? it looks to me like it has, i will upload photos asap

How long did it take them to bud last run.

This is my first time with critical kush, here are some photos. I am overall happy with what I have achieved but man o man I know I can do better,
Im on an 8 pot XL wilma. 25 liter pots. 2 x 600W lights and 1000W light, 8 inch carbon filter.
Feed: dutch pro A/B Potash, monster bloom, big bud, overdrive.
They are now mid week 7. day 53 would be tuesday coming.
I also fear I May have added tge Overdrive late although indoor flower time is 55 - 60 days. hence tuesday - tuesday is the last week.
Also I have a co2 bag hanging above.

This is my first time on critical kush, but Ive seen many other strains, all with fat head
