Problem, when I plugged my lights back in I plugged into extension cord and not the timer:wall: So lights should have went off this morning @6am and back on tonight @6pm I leave for work @530am so I didn't realize this till now when I got home.. They have been in 12/12 since 8/18.. What should I do?

I've never had that problem and if it was only one day. There might not be a problem. As you can tell it takes a few days for the plants to get use to 12/12. I think your biggest problem it's still close to the date you flipped. If you wanted to do something. It's dark now. Don't let the lights come on tonight. Keep them off for 36 hours or whatever it comes out to be. So that the next time they come on you'll be back on schedule and the plants internal clocks will reset.

Yup, not a problem.....Nope on 36 off.....24 max......
They are off now. If you keep them off for another 24 your close to where I was talking about. You want to get them back on regular time. That's more important than the "24" hour or "36" hour marks. I wasn't doing the math. My point was it is off (or it should be it would have been the first thing I did when I noticed it.) Now don't let it come on until the next time after that at the correct time. Without doing the math it's going to be longer than 24 and very well could be less than my 36. It was guesstimate

Your close enough to 24 hours. I might do it for 2 cycles. It might be over kill but it's stored double the energy today at this Point.
