I have made the same mistake several times myself. Don't sweat it. 1 long period of light(or a couple over the flowering cycle) doesn't seem to have much affect on the girls.
Peace!

Just look for hermaphrodite flowers until harvest. They will look like small yellow bananas on the buds. If you see any, remove them.

This thread makes me giggle. Spongebobsmokepants and ewokmyweewok? OMG... it must be spring... there's silliness in the air! :D

nothing,..they are fine. Mine get a little light from the veggie room,..and it hasnt hurt them at all. My one outside last summer was 20ft away from a secuity light. So it was getting extra light from beginning to end,...it was one of my fattest that season.

Well then jackstone you lucked out.
Most growers are not so lucky with their light leaks and it is NOT good advice to ignore any type or source of photoperiod interruption.

I think all of us has had a light problem at one time or the other. If it only happens once or twice during an 8 week period don't sweat it. I've not seen any any diff. in my yield. But, as Stinky said it's not something you want to make a habit of.
