I accidentally left my closet light on over night when I turned off the rest of the lights. It is only a 60 watt incondescent, but should I continue with the regular cycle and turn the lights back on them now even though that one was on all night? I have 2 plants 5 days into flowering and 2 that are 4 weeks in. Is this enough to cause them to become hermaphodites?

Weather they hermie or not you'll know soon enough,i doubt they hermie out the 1st time you messed up though.

Stay on the regular schedule & take that closet light bulb & smash it.

Can a plants become hermaphodites from the smallest bit of light, say from a 50p size hole in the wall?

or get one from home depot only 4 bucks.. as far as it not being dark outside at night i gotta ask where are you from? at night theres not enough light for the plants to even know its there.. when people say light leaks can cause hermies they are talking about bright lights like from a over head light coming through a cracked door or your box not being sealed good. this light would have to be bright enough to make your plant lean towards it when your grow lights are off.

As for your light being left on leafs88, you should be fine with it just happening 1 time. just start your lights as you normaly would and try not to do it again. i hope this helps. good luck

Hey guys thanks for the reply, I have a timer on them but usually leave the door open to let more co2 in and I left the small 60watt incandencent on about 10 feet over the plants. The usual lights were off however so im hoping for the best.

thanks
