Plants got 7:45 hours light in my dark period?and high heat,are they gonna hermies?
hiya sweetestsin,,i think as long as the strain/genetics you are growing is stable,,you should be okay,,just keep a close eye on them and anything nasty pops up remove it before it has a chance to do any damage,,but good genetics and you should be okay,,good luck,,peace and regards s2
So your plants got seventeen hours and forty five minutes of light, plus the time you took to examine every one of them. What your plants need now is at least twelve hours of uninterrupted darkness. Hopefully they are in the dark now.
If you want to keep the same lighting schedule with lights on at 10 AM and off at 8 PM then leave them in the dark tonight so that they have time to re-accumulate the flowering hormones. Then start them on your schedule the next day.

Im not so sure about this... or the way you said it was confusing. I would just set the timer like you had it. Let the plants fall back into the normal routine

get ur plants back on their 12/12 light cycle and leave them there, avoiding another interruption like this one at all costs.
as far as hermies go.... there is really no tellin when where or how they will express themselves or whether or not they will at all (that is more dependent on your varieities you are growing) know anyone w exp w ur strains? talk to them about "stability" also like fred told ya, seed plants herm worse or more readily than clones of stable varieties.
but dont sweat the hermies sweet....
even bud w seeds in it that you grew yourself is waaaay better than using black market vibes for your buds, just the good vibes of your love and energy in them, so what if u gotta pick some seeds out? not ideal i know but live w it.
most importantly.... wtf caused this? fix that, have a backup ready at all times.... im guessing timer(s) don't let it happen again.....

Nothing will happen.. Have had this happen over the yrs. Just keep them on the same cycle and avoid this from happening again.. Make sure u got those timers working properly the next day or so..

Nahhh . don't trash it ...we all have a few F'ups every now & then ... after all we are stoners 
Like it was said .... even if it did hermie ... just keep an eye out & pluck'em as ya see'em . a few seeds in a couple buds ain't the end of the world girl !!! if anything & ya do get a few seeds... save them & grow them out .

You need to put the chicken in with them for one hour after lights out, then they will be fine
Just get back to your normal schedule, one interruption won't hurt them

ya i kno @ ur funky ass lite schedule
didnt mean to tell ya to go back to 12 12..... that's up to u, but it's how cannabis grows best, tried and true thru time.....
get sum sleep lady, get ur head back in the game.... once shit is setup and working well, dont touch it, that's my2c..... it it aint broke dont fix it, dont even touch it.
dont trash anything,dont get carried away
i hate to say it like this, and please only take the following advice as an opinion, please by all means, continue to experiment if that's what you really want to do.... here goes:
quit tinkering.
unless you are ok w trashing your entire garden, experimentation is putting everything u r doing in potential jeopardy...
only experiment in a setting that you are prepared to sacrifice entirely, with NO bad feelings at all.
"there's no success like failure, and failure is no success at all" -bob dylan
this is a quote my dad would always tell me as a kid when i was havn a tough time for whatever reason, he explained to me that making mistakes and failing is the best learrning experience you can possibly have, and that in itself is a success.... so potentially thru failure, you succeed, altho failure is no success at all.....
that's the idea behind experimentation right there
you gotta be ready to fail in order to learn, if the failure itself gets you all emotional and pissed that you failed, lost your plants, the work that went into it.... those emotions will block your ability to LEARN from the experience.
stop worrying about the results and enjoy the grow, problems and all, learn from your mistakes AND your accomplished results...
quit experimenting
keep it simple, like K.I.S.S.SS420 get it? less is more.
go w tried and true methods that work for multiple users, use industry standards, dont try to re-invent the wheel, someone already did that a long time ago, and that is why we do things the way we do now.

Hahaha sounds pretty usual.
Cant rlly tell what happens, if it happened to me id jst keep light cycle same.
1# Why you hav ac off at "night"? I usaly keep ventilation on alltimes.
2# You can get contactor so u wnt burn timers, timers tend to pop when light goes off.
3# U seemto stress more then plants.
What comes to budding, are you sure they get min of 12dark? Do u hav light leaks?
I usaly keep mine 11,5/12,5 hours or sum like tht, jst to make sure they get that 12dark time.
