hi all my plants are in 12/12 for a week or 2 now and i have 2 females with loads of pistols my lights are set for 3 am to 3 pm today when i arrived the lights werent on,it seems the plug wasnt all the way in and perhaps someone messing around in the space the plugs are in knocked it out completly,, its 1pm now should i put the lights on or should i just leave it for today and have the lights come on at the usual time in the early hours?? will this stress the plants so much that they stop producing flowers?? things were going so well too thanks
Just leave them in dark until you are back on cycle. Extended dark during flowering will not hurt the plant -- it is getting a little less energy, but it is not messing with the plant's hormonal balance that is in flowering mode, so no worry of hermies and such. Always better to extend dark or shorten light during flowering, never extend light, if you need to do something with your light schedule.
