12/12 Light Cycle Interuption: Consequences and how to recover?

My plants have been flowering under 12/12 about 7 weeks now. Last week the light cycle was interrupted and they received 48 hours of straight "lights-on." I'm now starting to see the effects of this. The bud tops are stretching and have only a small amount of flowers on the stem. It kinda just looks like there's a 2"stem popping out the top of nicely formed bud. I don't have any new pictures but I've created a rendering of what it kind-of looks like.


**** THIS IS JUST A RENDERING... NOT THE ACTUAL PICTURE ***







Questions:

If the plants did in fact switch back to the vegetative cycle then were put back into the flower cycle, does the flower cycle reset to day 1 or will they pick up where they left off in the cycle? Should I expect the flowers to take bit longer to finish now?

Is there anything I can do to help them at this point? any specific nutrients, supplements, hormones etc... that might help them transition back to flowering?

Most importantly... did I just screw this grow?


Thanks.

48 hours is not close to enough time to convert the plants back to Veg just make sure your lights are set correctly and give the plants a good dose of Flower nutes and you should be fine.

You may need to go 3 days to a week longer to insure your buds are ready.

Thanks Hash, it's a bit of a relief to hear that. So typically how many days of 24/0 light do you think it would take to "convert" back to veg? Because after recalculating the length of time the plants were under 24 hour lights, I realized it was 52 hours, not 48.
