Hey everyone, I just stepped into my nursery room after working a 16 hour shift to check on everything and it seems my mother plant has been in darkness for what I estimate to be about 23 hours. I moved her into the nursery about 5 days ago and clearly messed up when I set the digital timer.... this is my first grow and I have the bullet proof mechanical dial type timers regulating the veg room. Should have stuck with what I know works well, clearly.... I just want to know what this extended darkness is going to do to her and how I can / should address this now that it's happened? I was planning on flipping the 5 I have in the veg room in a week and could clip clones and flip them all, if she's punched herself a one way ticket to the bloom room..... Advice from growers who've seen or done this would be appreciated. Thanks

think of it as a power outage from a winter blizzard, or a rolling brownout in a failing state, not much you can do about it just go forward with the lighting schedule you were on
Yah it is, what it is... I realized the problem about an hour before her normal dark period was supposed to start, so I just kept the light on through the night and will return her to the normal 18/6 today. I figured 25 hours of straight light would be much less stressful vs the 23 off, 1 on, 6 off. If that makes sense...
