My power went out for about 10 to 15 minutes this morning. About 4 hours before my plants went into their 12 hours of dark. They are at 6 and 7 weeks of flower.
Can this have any bad effect on my plants???

No, think of nature, a strom blows in lights go out for hours at a time etc etc. No worries, happens to pretty much everyone at some point. Two times during my current grow power got knocked out.

it wont hurt them. iv been told the plants produce a hormone in lights out that when built up to the proper levels the plant starts to flower, the hormone is killed slowly by light and so excess light is really the big worry not a lack of light.

iv had the light off for a day with no problems, and did 3 days of dark at flip to 12/12 and no problems.

i wouldnt worry about it. even lights off for a couple days wont do to much damage. i believe my lights were off for alomost 4 days and they were fine.

this is exactly the right answer... a plant doesn't flower from the amount of light hours it gets, but rather from the hours of dark it receives..
