My power got shut off for a few hours!!!!!!! Help what to do.

My power got shut off in the middle of the night due too a crash near by. I have veg lights on at 9pm till 3pm and they went off at about 4am And my flower is on at 9pm to 9am too. so Im just keeping the lights off until 9pm. Is that okay will my ladies turn hermi? I been stressing all day. And in my flower room my exhaust fan shows a spot light in there its pitch black in there except that exhaust fan is showing a lil light I think its like an indoor moon I hope that dosent effect them would it +++rep for help thanks guys.

I look at it this way, they still flower in fall during a full moon right? The light from the full moon (when you see that light casting shadows) is still heavy in uva/uvb rays. Im sure plants still photsynthesise at an advanced rate during a full moon. This DOESNT cause females to hermi in the wild. You fine if you fuck up every now and again. All this NO light leaks stuff is b/s. It mite slow them down a hair but its no different from the wild where they get all sorts of ambient/stray light.

No worries, just relax.

Thanks bro thats what I thought, about everyone saying "watch for light leaks"when theres all types of natural light at night. +rep for you my man

I won't get into the dynamics of the differences between moonlight vs. sunlight (which is a major difference BTW), but to answer your question, the hormones that would revert a plant to a vegetative stage and/or 'hermie' will not occur in the matter of hours. Yes, somewhat frequent interruptions of the dark cycle, can, and will cause issues. The least of which is diminished returns at harvest, but a one-off should not be any problem.

You should be fine just moving along as you were. Good luck!

I know I only went to college for a year and a half but in astrology we were taught that you could catch a sunburn in the dark during a full moon. Taught that the moon is just a large reflective surface *(white is quite reflective, hence why half the people use it in grow rooms)* Im sorry, im just thirsty for knowledge, should of pursued school more.

Cool thanks guys any other suggestions will def help me and others

So the lights are back on and they look like they pre-flowerd real nice the mum plants, thats in vegg and my flower side looks the same yet they started flowering 4 days ago everything looks normal for now. I hope they dont change I really work hard for this. Thanks you guys i would not be this advace without you guys thanks.

What I've learnt from most people and advanced growers is:

During flowering, the most important time is to give your plants 12 hours of darkness.

I am still a newbie and going on with my 1st grow, I was worried about the same problem since we were having many power cuts in our locality.
