alright my lights are supposed to turn off at 7 in the morning until 7 at night. at 11 this morning i went up there and one of my timers had broken. These plants are 2 weeks into flowering and already have small buds on them. Will the be ok. SHould i just let the natural cycle go and let the lights turn on again at 7 or should i wait until 10 or 11 tonight so they get 12 hours of darkness. PLease help dont know what to do. Thanks

This has also happened to me a couple of times. I have a veg and flower next to each other and have forgotten to close the barrier for a couple of hours. No big deal. Just return to the regular cycle tonight. If it eases your mind - just think of how long it took your plants to show any noticeable change when you changed from veg to flower.

I had a similar issue very recently early in flowering. There does not seem to be any adverse effects from it. I just went right back to the desired list cycle and the plants showed no harm from any stress. I am now 5 weeks into flowering and all is well.

Dittos on all that good advice. I have a UVB bulb on mine along with a 400 HPS on a timer. I set the UVB bulb by hand and have accidentally left it shining on them all night on several occasions. Hasn't seemed to hurt them any. I think you be just fine. Get back on the regular cycle.
