those fucking manual timers piss me off... you have to be so careful not to hit them and click a few of those things to the on mode. my "partner" apparently fucked something up when he went in there.
i am five weeks into flower and now scared shitless that those are going to hermie. i highly doubt they will re-veg considering it was only forty five minutes, but i am curious if i should now alter their light schedule or just keep it as is i'm guessing? i'm going to keep a close eye on them but realistically how much of a risk is it going to pose? i hope it would take more than once to send them into hermie mode but this has never happened to me before.
any experiences, comments, concerns, opinions are appreciated.

only time will tell....I wish we could predict the future my friend
but in all honesty, I think you're totally fine....i WOULD not alter the lights at all...no point in messing things around and subjecting them to any other stress....
how much longer till harvest? what 2 weeks? a week? you'll be good man....I doubt they'll hermie....just keep a close eye on em.....any balls form, chop em off

Got less than four weeks to go, from what I understand it will take two weeks for a male to fully develop balls that are able to pollinate the females. I'll just have to keep a close eye on them... I'm praaaaaaaaying I don't have a problem. Send some good no hermie vibes towards razzapiggy y'all! This is the first time I've had a problem like this... and it makes me sick to think all this hard work could be fucked by an hour extra light by giving me a shit ton of seeds.

i dont think the plants will react badly to a mistake or 2 unless they were already thinking about going hermie, hope not. ive screwed up twice with lighting this time and no signs of hermie or anything bad yet.

This should not be a problem.

I give em a pretty much optimal growing conditions I think. I run the AC if the temps ever get above 82, have plenty of air flow... a solid lighting schedule which has never been strayed from besides yesterday. No real light leaks besides a tiny tiny tiny bit that comes through the ac unit, which we took care of with some insulation the other day. Hopefully they are fine.

As posted above, you can just pluck off any "nanners" (male flowers) that look like bananas in your buds, since you are fairly close to harvest.

No signs of balls... I have been looking pretty carefully. It's only been a week so it's kind of hard to tell.
