Just reset your timer. Nothing is going to happen. Relax.
 
apparently i read that the greenhouse puts their plants through 2-3 days of darkness in the beginning of flowering to promote the hormone levels to spike

so as said earlier you have nothing to worry about

extra light can be a worry (an hour or so shouldnt matter), but extra darkness, no problem - except your plants missed 2-3 hours of photosynthesis ;)
 
as long as you are getting at least 12 hrs of darkness you will be fine. remember that in the wild, the plant gets an ever changing photoperiod. the key is to make sure that the dark period stays dark. as long as that happens you should have nothing to worry about
