Accident in 12/12 lighting!

It will not effect the plants as long as you give them 12 hours of sleep the next day and just shorten the next days on light cycle for that one day then your back on scheudle.
And make sure lights turn off at the same time as usual .
I hope that makes sense as I am stoned to the bone. But I can tell you that you will be okay if it only happens once. Key here is to make sure they get 12 hours of sleep

This will not affect your plants as long as you make sure they get their 12 hours of darkness before your next sunrise. Then you need to decide if you want your lights to go back on immediately following your 12 hours of darkness or if you want to go back to your original time of sunrise.
If you want the lights to go back on following the 12 hours of darkness just make that your new sunrise with 12 hours later being your new sundown.
If you want to go back to your original sunrise then then let the plants get 12 hours darkness followed by 9 hours of light (since you were on an extra 3 hours) and then back to the normal 12/12 cycle you started with.
Also, get a timer. They are inexpensive, reliable and will prevent this from happening again which if allowed can cause major problems for your grow.

I agree with all of that, get a fricking timer, geeze you people are so cheap.
You will be fine, just make sure they get 12 hours of darkness, the extra light time will only give them more production time, but less dark time will make them go back to veg.
NO MORE entering the rooom is u want sum sensimilla weed!
I know this topic is a bit old but jesus man, you think seeds will form if the plant doesnt get a 12/12 cycle?

I am a noob but I think if it isnt getting a constant light/dark or some sort of weird cycle can cause your plants to herm. And thus SEEDS.. a no no lol

Oh Totally Dude.
That's how the Little Baby Jesus was born. It wasn't Immaculate Conception, Mary and Joseph just left the lights on too long.
