lights did not turn on

Hey guys.quick question. Yesterday had an appointment. Got home about two hours after lights should have been on .got looking Ihad accidentally unplugged light from timer .they had couple extra hours darkness .got one ready to chop. But 6 that has just preflower. Will this stress my preflowering plants

No it shouldn't if its just a one time thing.... if everyday your lighting cycle keeps changing or is slightly off then yes it can create problems.

I would have just turned on the lights when I caught the mistake and then turned them out at the proper time.... same time as always... to much darkness doesnt cause much problems on flowering plants... but altering the lighting cycle or having the lights on for to long can for sure!!!

Yeah it was one time mistake.plugged back in immediatly.just wondering if it would affect my preflower plants.made sure it would not happen again

You're good to go. Shit happens. Far better than coming home and finding the lights stuck on "On".

Just what Harley said.....

Dark period will not affect preflowering plants... if anything it will help initiate the flowering process... some people even like to leave plants in 24-36 hours of darkness for right before 12/12 to help the plants produce flowering hormones.... for me I haven't seen a big change when doing this....

Where you should worry like was stated before..... leaving the lights on for 2 long.... or etc. if where problems can arise...
