Light cycle change (BY ACCIDENT)

Hey everyone,
Thanks for stopping by to lend your advice.

So I was adding / changing some stuff around in the grow room to try and get things ready for the end of the month when I go into flowering. So currently my lights go off at 6:30am and on at 12:30pm (18/6) so yesterday when adding a extra timer for my seedlings I accidentally sent the timer to go off at 12:30am and on 6:30am... lucky I woke up at 3am and noticed no light...which than I realized I set the timer wrong.

So the plants got 3 extra hours asleep. It's confusing to explain...But they are supposed to be going to sleep in 3hrs from now...I'm worried that because they were awake from 12:30pm to 12:30am (12hrs) than asleep for 2.5hrs (til 3am) back on til 6:30am when the timer will now turn off lights normally. If your following " lights were on for 12hrs, off for 3hrs, on for 3hrs than back to their normal schedule of 6hrs off and 18hrs on. " In a normal weekly cycle this mistake only interrupted one day. 3hrs off when it should have been on. Also note the lights that went out for 3 extra hours are for my 4 weeks old seedlings.

My question is, "in your experience " is there anything I should watch for / be aware of that I haven't already read online. Always appreciated!

I live to help nOObs grow decent pot but I'm getting sick and tired of this and so many questions that you can find the answer to if you took a lousy 5 seconds to search the site.

I'm done with dealing with lazy kids that have no clue how to find anything tho they have almost all the knowledge that man has struggled to learn since he thought to wonder about those tiny lights in the sky in a tiny little device in their pockets.

I have spent thousands of hours researching pot. Thousands of hours responding to questions like this. Thousands of hours getting my diplomas in chemistry and computer crap.

READ A F'N BOOK!

Thanks for the help. NOT!! The novel you wrote took more time than to answer my questions. This site is here to help you my friend. You are being a troll in this situation. But hey this world's full of angry people who are unhappy with their life and get tired of helping others...I can see you fall into this category. Cheers mate.

Ps. I did read online prior to posting, however I like to discuss these matters with fellow growers to learn from one another's mistakes. Communication is KEY !

simply set the timer back to the desired time and dont fuck it up again if growing good weed is really really important to you.

even if they were flowering changing them back to their 18+ hours of light will revert to the veg stage. worst case you lost a week or so of growth, might confuse some when they do flower but likely no issue at all will arise.

dont even think about using any flowering schedule other than 12 hours on and 12 hours off for photo period selections.

Thanks partner much much appreciated. Everything including the timer is the same / same schedule. It got just shy of 3hrs sleep randomly after 12hrs on than when I turned em back on (and corrected my timer) they finished their 18hr lights on cycle. From what I've read online etc I've came to understand it as a "dark storm cloud came over the plants for a few hours ". Like you said, worse case Ontario lol they will slow their growth for a couple days but unlikely it will effect much.

Thanks again for your response and willingness to help / communicate some problems I have encountered.

I saw a Sun systems product in the past and recall a ballast/controller combo that would go from dark to full light every hour and that saved 50% of the power used.
