Ok I will try and offer you some hope my friend. There are a few things that could happen...I think.

I would put them back on their regular light schedule asap and say a little prayer, cross your fingers...(whatever you do...) lol

They could stress and die. (Oops not very hopeful.) They could stress and go hermaphrodite. They could revert back into veg. They may very well be perfectly fine and pick back up where they left off.

All you can do is wait and see. Make sure they are in a healthy environment with all they need and not too much water. Hope for the best. (I said a little prayer for you on my end.) Lol

Lights off is usually not really a problem as much as lights left on. I've literally made the exact mistake and lights were out for 3 ish days. No harm done. No hermies. Its when you leave the lights on that stresses them out.

They weren't in flower but i've left plants for 10/12 days in the dark with no problems when they put back under light.

3 days during flower I'd be annoyed at myself but not concerned about damage or any great impact to yeild.

Put them back onto the light schedule and don't worry about it.

The current condition of the plants are not related to the lights being off for a few days. Looks like they've had issues for a while now.

Next time plan ahead, test out the timer before you leave to make sure it's functioning correctly.

For now continue with either 18/6 if you want to veg the photos or 12/12 to get them in flower.

This is why I use WiFi switches for handling the timing. When the routine runs I get a notification and if I don't get a notification I can check and adjust the light from anywhere with an internet connection.
