Ooops Accidently left my LED light on during 12/12

I accidently forgot to set my timer on and my LED was on for four hours longer than the 12/12 cycle. They were on 16/8. 1st week in flower cycle. I turned the LED off and was going to give them 12 hours of darkness and the resume the 12/12 cycle. Growing Platinum Girl Scout Cookies in a Sea of Green. Did I really screw the flowering cycle or will they be okay? Rooky mistake.

Not a photo expert by any means but think they should be fine since it was the first week of flip they really weren’t in flower mode yet and won’t until they get 12 hours of darkness

Thanks

At worst you get that much delay of switch to bloom, which shouldn't be much of a problem with a photo plant.

Youll be fine, just make sure you keep it in flower until harvest

Ive messed up my dark periods plenty of times throughout flower. You might be ok but that really depends on a strains tendency to hermi from undergoing too much stress.

Usually a little light during the dark period during flower is ok, and if you ran the lights for 18/6 then stepped down 2 hours to 16/8 for 2 weeks instead of one you should be fine. All that really means to me, as far as I know, is that you just had a short day veg cycle. Most plants won't even start flowering until you hit 14 hours or less of light per day. Flowering is triggered when a buildup of hormones reach a certain level. The hormone is only produced when the plant is in darkness, it takes a good week for the plant to really switch to flower mode. So your plants just got a week of less dli than an normal 18 hour day. Think of it as a cloudy week outside. Just go to 12/12 I'm 99% sure you're gonna be fine
