hey everyone.
im about 3 weeks into flower, and lights were left on, for 24hrs during 12/12.
(last week it happened for just a few hours, i switched timers, and the second one broke also. they were both bought from the same store. i know not to get those timers anymore.....)

what should i do? ive googled the problem, but its not clear to me what to do from the answers i found.

basically, lights on were from 7PM to 7AM. lights off were from 7AM to 7PM.
today, they stayed on from 7PM yesterday, to 7PM of today.

from the resaerch i did, most people say to just leave the schedule as it is, and itll be ok. but i dont really udnerstand the meaning

being that i caught the mistake at 7PM today, after exactly 24 hours of lights on, and its now the time they should be turning on if shcedule was correct,
does that mean:
to leave lights on now for another 12 hours, since thats what their normal light on schedule was?

that would mean that they will be on for 36hrs alltogether before they hit theyre lights off time at 7am tommorow morning!


the other options seem to turn them off and give them lights off for 24 hrs, to balance out the 24hrs of light.
or to turn them off now, and change the 12/12 to turning on at 7am, and off at 7pm.
but that might also throw them off balance.
also, i really dont want lights on, during day right now, because if my lights are on during the day, the temp in the room gets to 85F. where if its on at night, the temps stay at around 79-81F

please i would really like some experienced opinions in this case
thnks!
 
Continue lights on according to your normal schedule and get lights of at 7am to 7pm like normal. Don't completely reversethe schedule trying to compensate. Might hurt them more
 
One day shouldnt have much of an effect if any at all. Continue your regular schedule. Its a weed, not a newborn.

when u say "continue in normal schedule", you mean to leave them on now, since its after 7pm, which will actually have them going for 72 hours?
 
Yup just make sure they are of at 7am like normal and they should pic back up
 
Ya don't worry about it. Just get them back on normal schedule as soon as possible. Don't try to compensate just put them back on schedule as soon as posible to minimize stress. I have had lights either turn on or off for days before and it has not hurt anything.
