Mistakenly threw LIGHT CYCLE OFF TRACK

Hey guys.long time reader of course, but never had to post...Until now.
ive read through topics on this subject and now it was not perfectly clear(was only vaguely clear)..so i am in desperate need of an answer..

I have 1 AK47 and 1 Bagseed (both seem to be females - dont know history/genetics of either seed but bought AK47 YEARS ago) in a Grow Tent via DWC.They are under 400w HPS. They have vegged for bout a month and a half (started from seed last week of may), an i just started flower cycle 3 days ago.

So heres my scenario...

-First day of flowering (3 days ago), i started 12/12 cycle (off @12:15PM so
they can sleep through the day:)

-iwas on time with cutting it on @12:15 midnight later on...

-Second day of flowering (midnight this morning),i was about 15 minutes late turning the light ON for day cycle,which meant the light came on around 12:25/12:30 midnight.

(ive been lurking here and i see most ppl say a small scare like that is not harmful, is that true?)

-Third day of flowering (this afternoon), I was almost an hour late turning the light OFF,and i didnt get it on until about 1:10 in the afternoon.

i have timer and everything ,just tried to go by local clock first couple days.

So now, the first 3 days of flowering, the ligh schedule is already thrown off.

DAY 1/ Off @12:15pm/ON @12:15am
DAY 2/ Off @12:15p/ ON @12:24am (10 mins late ON)
TODAY/ Off @1:10p/...(TBA)

Theres the breakdown, Please tell me if I have a problem or not.This is my first time but everything is looking great for both babies and i would hate to mess up now!

-Will they respond to the slight change?

-If no harm, how will I adjust tonight light cycle when its time to turn them back on tonight. Can i go back to 12:15? , or did that change throw everything off... or do the extra minutes even count? How smart ARE the plants really?

It really would be a shame to corrupt 2 beautiful girls this way because of a stupid mistake (I only forgot because i was smoking:)

Please help and thanks

The light cycle functions within a range, so I don't think that one day of 45 minutes of difference will screw things up. For flowering, it's usually 12-14 hours on, and the balance off. Optimally, 12 on, 12 off. Just make sure that if you have those little lamp timers that you switch off the mode where it varies the time every day, so that a burgler can't figure out the houselamp is on a timer.

You will probably be ok. Some strains have a greater tendency to go hermie.

My ladies don't seem to mind going a bit longer or shorter, as long as it is either right before they are supposed to wake or right before they go to sleep. Of course, its better to avoid that if possible.

They do not like having a dark cycle interrupted by light then back to dark. Do that a few times and you'll get a hermie.

You can set it back to 12:15 if you want, but then try not to get off schedule anymore.

Put a timer on it and forget it.

No harm has been done.

Ours go off at 9 in the morning and on at 9 at night. The hotest time of our day.

Thank everyone greatly..so i guess my next question would be:

-what time should i cut them back on tonight? 12:00...or 1:30...or does it matter.im guessing it doesnt but i am accepting any and ALL input.And i will put my timer on tonight and from now on.i do have a question about cloning, but will put in another thread.

Answered in previous post. 12:15 or 1:00. Just pick one and stick.
