Accidental extra 15 minutes of light during flower

So I opened the tent this morning and then left to do something and it took me almost 15 minutes after lights out to realize it was still open.

They were exposed to small, fairly dim ceiling lights during that period(not directly overhead)

Is this going to ruin the flowering hormone or something? And should I unplug the light from the timer and plug it back in once they had 12 hours or just let it ride out ?

No bro. It won’t effect a thing. Cannabis will flower still with even 13 hours of light a day. If you were to turn the lights on half way through the dark period you’d also be fine. It’s when it happens repeatedly the plants freak out

I accidentally left my garage lights on over night once when flowering… Didnt phase them a bit. Cannabis is forgiving :slight_smile:

We all have had issues with lights on when they were suppose to be off, a door open, a timer malfunction… A few days in a row does get to them, the plants have to rejig its chemical process and they are not that quick to change things.

Yep! My lights were on for a full 3 extra hours last week; I changed the timer to extend the dark period back to 12 hours, then switched back to regular lights out the next day. It’s a gut check for sure, but as everyone is saying, nbd if you don’t make a habit out of it!

Yes, but don’t leave them on long, and don’t make a habit of it!

Got a little overwhelmed by the holidays and after my guests left I got stoned as duck and passed out early yesterday.

Yep, left the flower door open and ceiling lights on for about 6 hours.
