So Saturday at 2pm i lost power to my house. The plants had just gone into their light cycle part of the day at 12(they were on their 4'th day of flowering so 12/12). I didnt get my power back until 6am This morning so that means besides the 2 hours of light they got saturday they have been in 52hr's of darkness. Is this going to turn all my plants into hermies?

DAmn.. srry to hear about that power loss.
THe power outage will definately set your flowering process bac quite a bit... AS for the gender of your the plants. i would say the odds of your plant being a male or hermie will defiantely increase.. just continue to take care of them and watch them VERY CLOSELY.. Also praying for femlaes couldn't hurt

good luk

I think it would have been worse if it happened during vegging. At least your plants didn't get light poisoned - that is what gets you hermies! how do they look now?

what are you talking about set it back a bit?

if anything keeping it in dark that long would have pushed the flowering ahead a bit...

the plants bud at night. not during the day..

The plants looked fine... a little droopy but they have popped right back up.

Also if some of the plants have already showed they are female then is it still possible for them to go hermie? because 3 out of my 8 plants i know are female... the rest are unknown

I think you are safe - better for solid darkness for longer than 12 hours than getting light during the dark period. extra darkness may or may not produce hermies. Light during the dark period will produce hermies.
