Timer blew during 7th week of flowering

So my timer broke during light on period either yesterday or day before that. My plants just began week 7 of flowering, are showing mainly cloudy trichs with some rare ambers here and there, and then this shit happens. After some googling I decided to let the light be on until the usual time and then go on as if nothing ever happened.

They received 36 or 60 hours of consecutive light. Now i am scared of herming and halt of growing. The buds were becoming bigger day by day.

This is my first succesful grow and need I need advice. Is there anything i can do to prevent hermaphrodites? Any other things I should be worried about? In general any opinions on how to proceed are welcome :thank you:

Just give them 12hr dark and count the 60hrs as just one day. They might be a little tired, but they arent gonna pollinate themselves because of that.
If you end up with seed there was already a pre existing problem that seeded them

...just relax grasshopper, it is extremely unlikely this one disruption in your light cycle will cause any harm and even if the worst case scenario were to happen, ie pollen sacs, it still wouldn't be a problem because it takes at least a few weeks for beans to form after pollination and so you will be harvesting long before it could ever become a problem.

...oh, and congrats on your first harvey, welcome to the hobby, may you enjoy many more.

peace, bozo

...unless he is running a 10 week or longer cycle there isn't enough time for this to be a concern.

...and unless the plants are VERY prone to hermaphroditism a single interruption of the light cycle wouldn't cause any problem anyway.

...did you not read my previous post?
