accidentally hit the manual button on my timer when changing some cords around. my plants are in the veg cycle and ranging from 1- 7 week old plants. im concerned of them possibly hermying? can a plant fo herm if its not flowering yet, will this make it more prone to being herm? help anyone please!

one photoperiod goof wont make to big of problem. just dont make a habbit of it. and if it happens again let the bulb fully ignite, because it will harm your bulb to turn it on halfway then unplug it.

Shouldn't be a big problem. Outside it rains/cloud cover, sometimes get dark during the day. Darkness makes cannibis release a hormone. Prolonged periouds of darkness makes the plant release enough hormone to begin flowering. Short bursts of darkness should not be a big problem.

Light interruption only affects flowering plants. Extra light during the veg stage will not cause problems.
