How bad am I screwing up my plants with my screwy light cycle??

My plants are only 13 days from seed today under a 600 mh vegging. The timer i got never really worked so I have been turning it on/off manually on a 18/6 cycle. However, Ive been screwing up and turning them on too late or early but the light cycle is consistent.

For example, the lights were on last night and my gf pulled the plug out and didnt realize for about an hour. Another example, this morning the plants were supposed to be turned on at 11am but i ended up not doing it till 3pm.

How bad is my carelessness screwing up these girls or is not not that big of a deal now during veg and more important when 12/12 flowering comes?

Ur plants are only as good as the gardner. If u dont want to cate for them. I will!lol

You could go 24/7 during the veg and you won't need a timer.

Then buy a couple of timers for flowering.

12/12 is very important. Cannabis bases its reproductive cycle on photoperiod. A half hour here and there (err on the dark side) is ok, but if you are consistiently being inconsistent with your lighting schedule you will end up with a herme if you havent already.

Ive been doing 18/6, 20/4, 19/5, pretty much every time u can think of but times no where near 12/12.

2 weeks form seed tomorrow....you guys think im guaranteed a hermie now? Should I just toss em and start new?

I'd run the lights 24/7 like suggested before and see what happens unless you have a bunch of seeds to mess with

I think it will be just fine if you just watch your timing. You don't need a timer to Veg, just plug it in.
