Lol. Stop worrying. They will be absolutely fine. Plants aren't that temperamental.

Yes they will but only if they are completely finished. If they are then cut them down immediately, dry and cure them properly and send to me for further testing.

Plants that are grown from seed will go hermaphrodite much easier than plants grown from clone , also plants where clones were taken from mature mothers of a stable strain are much more tollerant to adverse conditions than clones taken from young mothers or from seed.
With that said some plants will drop balls at the drop of a hat while others can take serious neglect & multiple light cycle interuptions with darkness being broken with full on lights for hours at a time for multiple days without going hermie ,much depends on the strain , how stable the strain/phenotype is as well as the age of the strain.
When dark cycle is accidently interupted & if in doubt the strain can tollerate the stress its best to err on the side of caution & reset the dark cycle ,when the light cycle is scheduled to come on at its normal time leave the room dark & skip a light cycle ,then let the normal light/dark cycles go back into effect ,the lengthened dark period will let the plants get back to normal ,most of the time lil stupid shit like a 5 minute blast of light wont cause a stable strain to hermie on ya but if you want to play it safe just skip a light cycle & your safe as pie .

I don't think you will have a problem at all. I have a hermie prone strain and I had the lights come on for 2 hours in the middle of the dark cycle before I caught it. 2 weeks later I see no evidence of hermie. If you have consistent light leaks is where you will run into a problem, or several interruptions in a close timeframe.

thanks for the post,id meant to say good strains can take alot of stress,then i just siad fuc it and posted it,i have 8 growing now that im testing doing differnt forms of stress on each plant,just to see the affects,tho i have not tested light changes yet,there all on first day of 12 12 now,so i will pick one to do light stressing with in a few days,happy growing

says who?
Can you provide some data to back up your claim? I am genuinely interested.
I would disagree with the light cycle change idea. A brief interruption of the dark period is not something to worry about. Since it already happened, changing the photoperiod would seem to add even more unnecessary stress. That doesnt seem like playing it safe.
And a hermaphrodite is different than an otherwise full female throwing "naners" late in flowering. This happens to a lot of perfectly healthy and stable strains if they are allowed to flower long enough.

Just try your best to not do it again and you'll be fine! One time usually doesn't do anything(although I'm sure there are super photosensitive strains out there). Keep an eye out for nanners anyways, better safe than seedy!

Damn bro, you should know by now, sarcasm is not well translated through text.Yes they will but only if they are completely finished. If they are then cut them down immediately, dry and cure them properly and send to me for further testing.

Numerous times, I have woken to the alarm since I don't run timers, been lazy, and not gotten up until 3 hours later to flip lights or move plants, and they are just fine.
