HELP REQUIRED, my timer didnt turn off, it must have broken somehow. anyway i was out and when i came back my lights were still on when they should have been off. therefore the light was left on a further six hours than they should have. i am running an 18 hour day of 6/12. so the plants were exposed to 12 hours of light. what should i do? should i give it a 24hrs of darkness to compensate for the dark period or just resume the timing schedule as normal. i really dont want a hermie? any help would be appreciated.

btw, the 18 hour day is an experiment that i've read about and there is an ongoing thread about it here https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/62836-has-anyone-attempted-6-hr.html

Ok so this is my first time growing. included are pics of everything. Ok so I'm using a hydro hut. one 600 lamp. I have 10 plants. the purps. I bought the clones at the store and transplanted on 3/12/08 They have been on a 12/12 cycle since today. (I was told to put them on a 24/7 schedule to revert them back to veg growth because they are too small, but back to that in a min.) I started with the seamax stuff on 4/2. I watered with it about every 3 days. The soil is a 50/25/25 mix. I have pics of the 50% stuff and one of the 25% stuff but I forgot what the other 25% was.

Here's the setup and nutrients














These pics were taken around the last week of march. Beginning of yellowing





And these are the most yesterdays pics










So transplanted on 3/12 12/12 schedule
They started turning yellow about 2 weeks later 3/27??
Was told to start nutrients - i did
seamax (not the bloom one) started 4/2 watered about every 3 days
Still yellowing and dying getting worse.
ph was normal
so i flushed 4/16 b/c I thought it could be nute burn
now I think it's the air and I just bought a new fan and am waiting for it. also started 24/7 schedule on 4/23 (My tallest plant is 15 inches and my smallest is 10 )
and because apparently that's what i should had done (i'm kinda pissed at a guy who gave me all the advice in the beginning) But it's ultimatly my fault because I should have been more involved and done the research and asked you lovely people before now. anyway.......

Is what i'm doing good now? Should I be doing anything else?
The ph in the water is good. I watered today. But I think my biggest problem was/is the heat and air. My 4" duct fan is coming tomorrow or fri. I also have a tower oscilating fan in there now and will keep in there. I had a suggestion to get a carbon filter, if I get that do I need to get something else? like another fan or something? also my thermometer/humidity thing will be here hopefully by the weekend. Oh and how high up should my light be when they are in the veg. state? if you look at one of the pics up top there's one that shows inside the set up. And now that i've gone back to veg. how long should I do that for and then how long will it have to flower for. Basically how long till I can harvest a descent crop. I'm really in no rush, just curious because i'm thinking about building a veg. room and putting new clones in it. But i think i may be getting ahead of myself. I have sssoooo much to learn. I really need to find a mentor. You guys are great and i really appreciate your time. Thanks again.
