After setting up my Far Red LED Initiator Pucks I accidentally plugged them into the wrong set of timers and when my lights went off yesterday at 4 PM the far red lights stayed on and instead of putting my girls into sleep faster I don’t think they went to bed at all . I am just waking up now and noticing this. I know I need to make a decision right now but What do I do?? I am in week 2 flower and can’t afford to have any issues with this room. Please someone who knows the answer chime in ASAP!

So keep the same Light schedule instead of giving them sleep but just delayed sleep?
I would minimize the amount of error by putting them to sleep. You could go ahead and change the schedule and give them 12 hours dark now.

Damn man. Renfro is right, just wait it out.
If you left it on all night then look up shade avoidance syndrome symptoms as a result of giving them too much far red. Symptoms include bright green leaves, main stems stretch too much, stems will get soft when they should be firm and woody.
The damage is done when you leave the far red on too long. I dont think theres a way of changing the plant growth that occured with too much far red. Not that I know of. Try to make sure it doesnt happen again man.
I also use far red but I leave it on for 5 min after lights go out. I havent had my far red stay on that long after so I dont know what to say. I would resume light schedule if I was given this scenario.
