These girls have been under strict 12/12 with absolute dark and light for 6 weeks and today I left the door cracked open for 7 hours during the dark period... just noticed it. 2 hours before it goes back to lights on for 12 hours.

Details:
It's an Indoor grow, dual 400 watt HPS lights in a 3Wx6Lx8T sealed room with plenty of air circulation, 22% humidity and GH's Organic line of nutes (GO). Sunshine #4, in flower 6 weeks, big colas! 36" tall plants.
Northern Lights and Sweet Tooth in late flower.... Banana, Lemon and TW have only been in the room for 3 weeks... 24" tall plants, beginning to flower nicely!

Plants both in veg and flower are beautiful, no nute burn, no curled tips, healthy as can be... beautiful! (NO issues since going all organic!)

Should I do which of the following:[/COLOR][/B]
1) Prevent the lights from comming on and keep them in dark for 24 more straight hours to reset any veg/flower clocks that might have been reset in the plants?

2) Go back to my normal schedule of lights on then medicate well and try to forget I fucked up.

3) (Your answer here...)

Help!

It will have very little influence that a little light leaked in, after all nowhere outside are plants ever in total darkness.

Thats what I was thinking... but unsure. What the hell can I do about it really! It is what it is... it got the equivelent of a 6" round hole with light leaking in... for 7 hours. DAMN IT anyway.

Oh well, lets hope for the best and plan to get toasted!

Oh, worse than that.... I have a 6" duct port into my flower room for peeking in from time to time when the lights are on. A 6" plastic pot fits it perfectly
and light tight.

I left the pot out of the intake... for 7 hours while the lights were off. Ambient light flooded into the room. SHit!

Oh well, NOTHING I can do about it but watch for signs of problems.
3 plants in full flower at 6 weeks..... 3 in early flower at 3 weeks.

THEY ALL LOOK BEAUTIFUL! I hope they stay that way.
