I think i would prefer the prolonged darknes over prolonged light.
the light would cause the stress i believe, whereas the darkness gets the flower hormones going.

I mean....that's what I would do because you've had them on this schedule for the entire 2 weeks so one day should not hurt it, they've already had the cycle interrupted theres no need to stress them even more by turning the lights off now and giving them 24 hours in the dark just let them continue the regular cycle I mean you COULD have hermies from the interrupted dark cycle but I dont THINK you will lol you've only been flowering for 2 weeks. Now if it were another 3 or so weeks down the road then youd have something to worry about but I think you should be good just make sure not to let it happen again though thats for sure
