Enough to turn hermsmcgee?

[JakeTheCorgi]

Suppose there were four plants, in a closet, with a moderate level of fluoro lighting (increasing with every paycheck) and over a period of about 24hours experienced some funky light patterns due to a mixup with a vacation timer and an apparenct power outtage in the middle of the night. Would it be enough to turn these fictional plants into hermis or will it not be that big of deal. These plants would be 2-3 weeks into flowering and getting steady light from 11pm-11am. The mixup would have added maybe 2-3hrs more light at two different intervals.

Also side note, the fictional plants are experiencing death of all foliage from dirt level to about 6in up, the rest look great but the bottom is dry and crispy.

As they are purly a figurement of your imagination it wont bother them at all.
Takes a couple of weeks of light abuse to turn them hermie.ongoing light increase can revert back to vege growth but not in a couple of days. in your case it may just make buding take a little longer. Dieing lower leaves as budding goes on is normal but in your case it could be fluro light not geting down to lower leaves. all in all keep dreaming no nightmares

Simple answer...Yes it is very possible.

wow....two people with completely opposite things to say, saying them in such a confident way. Somebody's bullshitting. I'm gonna go with my man kiwi and file it under 'dont worry'. They're fine.....in need of some more light, but fine otherwise. WW's are getting sugary man....i'm excited

I don't see how it could cause it but my reasons are purely theoretical. In its natural state, growing outdoors, MJ would have to encounter days where more light is available then others (rain storms, cloudy days etc...) so I don't see why a brief period of off-scheduled darkness could cause them to herm just like that. I am no expert but it seems like you probably didn't do any harm.

yes but outdoor marijuana plants can turn herm as well. generally speaking, you are probably fine. They are a fairly resilient plant and I feel they can take quite a bit of abuse. But...its happened before too. Not much you can do about it except just check em everyday.

hell...I just left a CFL on inside my flowering room for 3 hours last night. Didnt even notice it until I saw just a tiny bit of light peaking. Thank god I did notice it, it might have run all night!!!
