plants about a week into flowering, i left lights on??

just wanting to know what screwing up your light cycle will do.

my plants go to bed at 9am. and they wake up at 9pm. well this morning i got up, but i was so busy that i forgot i had left one of the switches on. so half the bulbs were still on. 10 40 i realised this, an hour and 40 minutes. which sucks because yesterday my alarm didnt go off and i didnt get up till 10. and hour late.

so what effect can this have. also what if i were to suddenly just change their light cyce to a new one. say completly backwards. 9am on. 9pm off?

thanks +rep for any info i need.

I would just go back to their normal schedule, it might stunt the flowering a little bit but they should recover so long as the extra lighting isnt an ongoing thing throughout flowering.

ok good thats what i thought. i really need to get a timer. last night i was so drunk i almost forgot i had to turn them on for the night.

Yeah as the doc put it, just put them back on 12/12, an hour of extra light won't cause enough stress to do much harm

good good. didnt think it was too serious but im a paranoid kinda guy. and i thought i should also check to see how it effects the plants.

so it will just basically slow down flowering or what? a 2 hours extra light, i wonder how much of an affect it actually had. it would be very interesting to know the actual acute measurments of it all.
