Flowering light on too long

[longdog1433]

Hi folks. When I started my girls off in my flowering tent I upgraded to 600 from 400 watts. Stupidly I didn't realise I should have upgraded my timer because some time in the first day or two the ballast fused the timer contacts together and the light was on for at least 24, possibly 36 hours before I realised. I'm a month in and girls look ok apart perhaps from small buds.
Have I done any damage and what should I look for?

With the first day or 2 of flowering you should be fine. They might hermie on you but no big deal.

your going to need to ride it out, but if it was a constant light you still may be ok.
as long as nanners dont grow in the node sections (crotch) you should be ok
if they grow in the flower.. well than you may get some stable female seeds. that said it still may be ok
I have read of growers going from up to 21 days of flower and then going back to a full light schedule for 3 weeks and then back to flower and they claim double the production of buds

Thanks folks. I hope to keep them going for another month so hopefully all will be well. As I say, they look ok, doubled in size in a month.
Warning, invest in a heavy duty timer for anything over 400 watts!
