Lights left on during flower for 2 weeks +?

So today I noticed my timer was set to outlet on instead of timer on. I have a 818 Headband that is about 3-4 weeks into flower. I was looking at my pge bills and I was wondering why it was more expensive before I found this out. Looking at my usage on the website I can see when the lights turn on, it raises a bit, when I use my oven it skyrockets, so I can kinda tell when my lights are turned on instead my oven or of something else.

It seems about almost 3 weeks ago my outlet got turned on, I can see that all the days following the day did not have a increase at the times the lights turned on. I don't remember doing this, could have forgot, but the plant is still flowering from what I can tell, I put it back to 12/12 obviously. Idk how it happened, I haven't checked for hermie bananas yet, just thought I'd post because forgetting the lights on for 1-2 days might worry some but I really messed up and left them on for like 2 weeks + It is a Cali Connections 818 Headband and it is looking great, smells like blueberry candy/bubblegum with hints of diesel in my 4'x4' tent.

My question is, has anyone left light on a significantly long period of time like that? it wasn't getting any light off which I read controls flowering so maybe it will be ok? Could it be possible for it to start revegging, it doesn't look like it was doing that to me.

The strain is Cali Connections 818 Headband from a regular seed

Also forgot to ask, should I leave the lights off for 30 hours so I can have the full 12hrs of darkness (keeping the same lights on lights off hours) or would one day of 6 hours dark after 2 weeks of light really matter?

I did this recently,
my plant started to reveg and threw a few nanners and fox-tailed like crazy

Two weeks of light isnt gonna leave the plants uneffected , at the very least its gonna reveg & then have weird looking growth before it reverts back to bud , might even pop some nanners too .

Yeah I figured something like that would be happening by now, 2 weeks is a really long time, I try not to open the tent when it is dark and there isn't anyway to tell the lights are on really.

As of now the lights are on after the 6 hours off, it doesn't really look different than a flowering plant I have had before, perhaps more leafy for my taste but there are still new leaves with a good amount of trichomes on it, haven't seen any nanners yet. I'll post what happens. Might be able to get some pictures for anyone interested. This Headband 818 is the biggest plant I have grown so far.
