Accidentally left the lights on during dark cycle!

[caregiver]

So my roomate went in to work in the garden just before the dark cycle last night and left the door open and room lights on in the room, stoner!
So the plants are in flower, one side is 3 weeks out and the other 7 weeks from harvest. they got 9 hours of light before I caught onto the mistake, I closed the door and turned off the lights, now they get 3 of dark before the lights come back on... Will they hermie?

They should be fine. Just don't let it happen again. ;-)

no worries

I made that mistake in my room, unscrewed the bulbs to avoid flicking switches lol.

 

[caregiver]

thanks! getting a green light that is better in case it happens again...

You shouldn't have caused any problems. Alot of weird things happen in nature & the plant usually grows on. I've read that light poisining is a factor to some strains forcing hermies or other unwanted sex type things to occur, so don't mess up too much. If I'm growing clones, alot of time I don't seal my bloom room from my veg, and I've not had any problems with light leakage.
No worries CG, keep us updated.

hi,
So, I fell asleep with my UV light on (along with reg LED light) all night then went to work, came home and saw Only the UV light on during dark cycle (LED went off like suppose to). is there a possibility I could've screwed up my plant by leaving on all this time? It is in the final stages of flowering...

a single event should be fine. just make sure you have your day/night cycle sorted going forward.

and put the UV light on a timer if it is not already. A lot easier than trying to remember when to turn it on or off.

Been there and done that before realizing it was easier to use the same light timer or its own timer unless it was a one time event.

I once left 100 watt of 660nm on too long it was strapped against the ceiling even, normally it runs on beginning and end of light cycle but it stayed on.. everything was down, the plants just completely lost all structure and deflated took a long time before they got up again.

I think everyone who grows indoors has done that at least once or twice By Accident. If it was just once or twice then No Worries Man.. Just as long as it's Not like that Everyday in the dark/sleepy time.
