Give the girls a full 12-hour darkness period, they won't notice the difference. They only care about getting a solid, 12-hours of uninterrupted darkness.

If you want to get your cycle back to where it was before, extend the light cycle by a few hours every day.

In my current crop, the girls are running on a 28 hr cycle, 12 hours of darkness and 16 hours of light. I'm at 6 weeks, right on schedule, they like it just fine. ;-)

most of the indoor growers run the lights at night, it's easier to cool and you get a price break from most utility companies running on off peak hours.
