wht are some possible outcomes of a light being left on 5 weeks into flower for three days , I run two lights on two timers and one time got switched over to outlet on so it was staying on 24/7 , I belive this was going on for about 2 1/2 days before I caught it tonight , FUCK!!!

If they're autoflowering, it shouldn't make a difference. If they're not, then they could go back into vegetative cycle or hermaphrodite. Check for 'nanners over then next few days, but if she keeps chugging along, and everything else is good, she shouldn't be a problem.

i agree with warble, unless you are growing a hard ass strains you could see some male flowers being produced as a stress indicator. i doubt you will get actual reveg but you may find some funky growth near the tops of the buds. it wouldn't surprise me if the plants took an extra couple of weeks to finish.

keep us posted please as i would be interested to know what actually happens when this happens so late in flower.

If I start seeing banners should I just pick them off?? And if i start seeing male preflowers will the plant ever finish???

if you see male flowers you want to remove them asap, whats strains your growing? i know of some strains that will never grow nanners no matter what happens to them.

here's hoping you'll be fine

When I said nanners, I meant male pollen sacs. So if you see problems within the next week, I would remove them if it is a tall sativa and replace with a new plant. If they are short indicas, you might want to pick off the things that don't look like female parts before they spread their pollen. Five weeks of flowering is a long time to an indica, but it isn't even half of a good sativa plant's flowering period.

Oh my. What a terrible fuck up.
24/7 for 3 days, 5-weeks into flower?????

I would expect some male flowers to pop up from the stress.
It shouldn't wreck your entire harvest if you stay on top of it.
Even if a few open up and you miss them you should NOT get an entire seeded crop.

Maybe you get lucky and have some stupid girls in there that think that last remaining light was just the moon, and it was full and bright for 3 days. I don't have that kind of luck, but maybe you do.

You think they will still finish if I start seeing the nanners ???

You don't need to panic unless you see them go back into veg and stop producing flowers. Odds are that you didn't really hurt them too much.

Don't throw up the green flag yet. Keep a watchful eye over them for another good week, at least. Then if you don't see any you should be ok.
