My power went out during flowering and messed up my lights' timer. I've got it all straightened out now, but could just one effed up light cycle make my plant a hermie? That's what I was told, and i'm really hoping that isnt the case

I've had it happen numerous times. It's never caused my girls to herm.

It will take more than one day for the plant to build up or break down the photoreceptor protein.

I lost power 4 weeks ago and my digital timer reset to 24hr on. Didnt notice for 36 hrs.
They are still growing fine, no slowed growth, balls, or anything out of the ordinary. Flowering nicely.

As others have said it will take a few days of screwing up your cycle to cause any real harm to your plants unless they are already stressed out.

Ive had this happen several times over the years, even went 2-3 days before I noticed a couple of times.I never had any problems with hermies!
