I f-ed up big time.
I discovered that a random cfl I had in my flower room was plugged into the dedicated "fan" outlet, not the "light" outlet... So has since has been on 24/7 for probably 4-5 days. ... :-(
They've been flowering for 4 weeks, and bud production looks more like 2 weeks, with some weird leaf growth. ... So, I have at least 6 weeks more to go.
It seems as if it has started going back to veg..:!::!:
Is this lost? Am I better off scrapping it and starting over? Will it be worth it to continue with it for the rest of the time and see what happens?

HELP.

FYI:
600w, 5x5room, plus one cfl.
4 plants, (2 JackTheRippers, SourFlower, ChemDawg)
Each are 5-feet tall in 5 gallon geopots and buckets.

I would not scrap them yet. I would put them in Darkness for 36-48 hours and restart your 12/12 again. I have had the same thing happen, and all turned out just fine.

Sure 12/12 is cool also. I do not understand the fear everyone has about plants hermieing at the littliest mishap. I have grown 100's of plants, and I have screwed up on lights and what not from time to time, and have to this day have not seen a hermie or seed on any of my plants. But then again, some strains, especially if they come from feminized seeds are more pron to hermie then others. Maybe I just get lucky.

i agree completely with lord dingly bits hands down the best answers in this thread.. the couple of days of darkness will get them out of the veg mode and once they go back to 12 / 12, they should start to flower again pretty quickly and doing the dark period should be the best bit to limit anymore stress to them ime..

ye man id say you lucky or a real good grower! i had a plant hermi on my 2nd grow (only on 3rd now lol ) wasnt from light period being messed up but being my 2nd grow i had all sorts of problems was a learning one for sure as is my current, it was a feminized seed alright, lucily it only pollinated one branch didnt even notice till harvest an few seed popped out during trimming, only got like 30 seeds in total was pretty happy tbh! :)

Call it the "full moon" effect, go back to 12/12 - you have absolutely nothing to lose. Next time check the grow during "lights out" to make sure...
