well, my plant is on 12/12...on at 8am, off at 8pm. i just got home now (713pm) and my lights werent on. i then went to figure out why and it turns out the power went out last night so my timer's settings were erased...so this means my plant just received 23 hours of darkness at a time...im just wondering what my best bet is. i dont want to leave it dark until the cycle restarts tomorrow at 7am again...as i think 36 hours of dark definitely is worse than 23...so is it smart to turn the lights on now for 6 hours and off for another 6...at which point the lights will turn on at 7 tomorrow (now going to do 7am/7pm instead of 8 ) or should i give it 24 hours of straight light (then the cycle will be regular again) since it received 23 hours of dark? or is there a better schedule i should induce temporarily to have the least stress or damage done? long story short...I have 12 hours until my lights are supposed to go on again and my plants just accidently received 23 hours of dark, whats the best thing to do, thanks in advance:)

I would just start your 12/12 where you left off. Set your timer where you had it from the start.

just wait till tommorrow at seven. Cuz it would have been lights out time anyways. That suck but shit happens . Just let it go normally. U probably just lost a day or two. But if you just started to flower I heaR its good to give two to three days of darkness to induce flowering
