I need help and quick!!! Input is needed soon!

I accidentally left my plant light on well I added another to help with lower buds but I messed up the timing mechanism on it and left it on for 4 extra hours during flower what should I do!!? I’m able to chop now with 70% cloudy 10% clear 10%amber
 
Okay, I was close to being able to chop. I just wanted to do a couple dark days for the plant put the other light to maybe boost it before dark but didn’t want to boost it that much lol

Lol, no worries man. I am also of the opinion the extra dark period is pointless.

Actually the flavor and smell is always better if u harvest after the plants have finished there last light cycle and let them chill for a few hrs,12 is great just remember when they are sitting in the dark make sure u have a dehumidifier so the humidity doesn't go thru the roof especially if u let them sit in the dark for a couple or 72 hrs. If ya harvest during day,or lights on your buds will have that hey smell and not so good taste. With the lights off for atleast a cycle there isn't all the chlorophyll pumping thru the plant and making the buds not need to cure for super long to get that nice taste and smell we all love.

I chop before lights on but there is no real benefit to an "extended" dark period. If your plants still have green leaves than they are full of coprophil, that's what proper drying and curing are there to fix. I would say if a person has a strong hay smell or bad taste that an extended dark period would not have helped. They likely chopped early or dried to quickly.
