Question about moms losing light...sorta

Ok, last night I was messing with some of my lights testing another ballast trying to figure out if the ballast was bad. Borrowed the cord from the ballast controlling the 600 MH over my 5 mom's. When I plugged it back in, I stupidly plugged it into the UPPER part of my master lighting controller which is on a 12/12 timer controlling a couple lights in the next room. Just got to the spot after work and noticed this. So about 10 hours with no direct light. From what I've read, if it would have been pitch black it might not have been a bad deal, necessarily. The thing is, about 10 feet away i have a kind kl100 sitting over some little guys in veg. I guess my concern/ Question is what thoughts you guys have on possible stress/hermie issues. As a nice cherry on top, i think the moms may have already been stressed from being rootbound. They were in 3 gallon plastic pots and were showing a good amount of pistils, so I transplanted them into 5 gallon buckets, trimming the roots in the process. Thanks in advance for replies/ advice.

The main problems with light schedule stress occur when a plant has already begun to go into flower and then you mess up and the light ends up on longer than its supposed to. Or if you go into flowering weeks in with a slight light leak issue the whole time. You shouldnt have any problems from accidentally setting it on 12/12 for a night with a light leak.

Dont know anything about your light. I use cfls for my moms and mh and hps for plants i flower

10 feet sounds far..

Could you post a link to info on your lights? I cant find anything on these kind kl100 lights

Literally cant find another grow involving them.

I guess i wasn't clear exactly, the kind LED is over some other vegging plants. That one didn't lose power. My 600W MH did lose power for about 10 hours. Didn't know if the LED 10 feet away was stressing them, since the MH was off
