Ok well long story short my 3 plants are in a basement closet with a tarp over the door next to my laundry room. Well last night before lights out i went into laundry room and when i left i forgot to turn the small floro light off in there....the room and closet plants are in was dark but a very tiny amount of light leaked in from where my duct goes out..so it was never pitch black. This was my only screw up this entire time and i only have 2.5-3 weeks left of the grow till harvest buds are done just thickening up..am i totally screwed what should i do,....actually just going into 7th week of 9 week flower cycle. If they were to herm where would i look for seed formation
 
DON'T PANIC! I'm not experienced but from what I've read about people leaving lights on for 1 week or off for 2 weeks, it won't affect it much if at all. obviously wait for someone who has actually flowered their plants but I'm sure you're fine:)
 
It's never totally dark outside, unless you are in the far north and it's december. Just take care that you rectify the problem.
 
Like/\ said no worries....

I would like to add, do not harvest early... if Seed said 7-8 week...
9 weeks... Keep on keeping on, tell us how it goes from here on....
Good Luck man... you will be fine
 
If it really worries you. Simply tape over the gap to stop the light leak.

They'll be FINE.....If you can/want simply pull out the naners from the buds.....If it seeds, they will be directly around the banana. NOTE: the seeds will be female
 
Even a small light leak can result in a hermie if the strain is already sensitive and hermie prone.
Chances are small a light leak for a small amount of time, one night, will cause an issue.
But don't rule it out either.

Keep reading.

If you take a 6 week flowering plant and leave the light on for a week, you are going to have serious problems. Serious problems.
 
I agree you probably won't have a problem. This is what you want to look for on the buds, if you see them just pick them off with tweezers.

 
keep your fingers crossed. if they start to herm. then they sell stop herm spray. follow the directions . herm will be stop dead in the tracks ! 99 % of the time , you are ok. I lost power once 3 freaking times in the flower room. and the same harvest the timer was jacket up so the light schedule was totally fucked. but it came out just fine. this was a hundred times worse then what you did. 1000 watt hps were running when they were expose to be off. lol. never buy cheap timers.
