HELP! Photoperiod interruption during flowering!

Greetings fellow farmers,

I'm into the 5th week of my 9 week flowering cycle with a crop of Big Bud, White Widow, and a couple of plants that came from some very average bagseed I got from a buddy. This is my first grow and everything has been going beautifully and my girls are looking great with huge dense buds and nice resin crystals starting to cover the leaves. Everything was going great until today, when a power outage about 6 hours into my 12 hour lights on period was interrupted by about a 3 or 4 hour darkness period because of the blackout. The power came back on with about 3 hours left in my normal light cycle but I'm wondering if the irregularity might put my crop in danger. I've been following the Cervantes book religiously along with all the other great tips I've gotten from this site and videos on youtube and I know irregularities in the flowering photoperiod can trigger the plants into going hermaphrodite. Does anyone think that this is something that I might have to worry about?

Thanks for any and all advice!

No problems, just keep rite on schedule as it was. I had lites off for 2 days and it didnt hurt my widows a bit, got rather cool too, no heat.

my plant turned hermie on me but it had about 2 weeks of light leaks and such because I didnt know that would cause such a thing. I have since cut my infected branch that had the banana looking things and I think I might be good as I have not seen any more and I smoked that bud from that branch and all I gatta say is DAMN i cant wait to harvest. Took 3 small bong rips after drying in the oven lol and I was done for.
