will this stress my ladies...?

My plants are 4 wks into the flip. Totally healthy and happy. Checked them today and noticed the lights had come on 3 hr late. Must have bumped into the timer yesterday...I fixed the problem, but am worried this will ruin my crop....am I just paranoid?

If its a one time thing I wouldn't worry to much. Small light leaks and liggts going out for days at a time is much worse.

The plant needs 12 hours of uninterupted light to remain in photo . If your system turned on 3 hours late then it should be turned off three hours late.That way the plant doesnt think the days are getting longer. Shorter day periods wont hurt the plant in photo but shorter nights might confuse the plant and slow the flower growth a week or so . Timer failure and power outages can cause stress but should not cause a major problem unless they occur often .

^ so you mean that they need 12 hours of uninterrupted dark

i think that 14 hrs of dark as a 'one time thing' should not stress out healthy plants much, if at all. as long as the problem is fixed.....
