24 hrs light, day 12 flowering. What's gonna happen?

So my nine Harborside-cut Sour Diesels were shocked to hell 6 days ago. The timer blew and the light was on almost exactly 24 hours, and this was day 12 of flowering. They were in shock for about 2 days and didn't grow at all, now they're back on track. However, I'm left with ZERO smell.

1) If they're going to hermie, when would that show?
2) Will the smell return?
3) Other than smell, will the quality of the final product most likely be affected?

Thanks!

Here's 2 pics from a few minutes ago...

hey hester, welcome to the mag

id doubt an hermie if there qaulity genetics? but theres got to be stress involved......ive strains that wouldnt bat an eyelid under the same circumstances, and others that would totally screw up, id say your about 80/20 in favour of an unmarked grow

I appreciate the positivity, you made me feel better.

Anyone have an answer for the first two questions?

The smell should definately return...

If effected, They will start showing signs of being hermie within a week but this might not happen...

No, your quality shouldnt be effected if it just causes a little stress... If some turn hermie and pollenate the rest of your ladies... Well then, yes. Quality will be effected...

Keep a look out for the little bananas and if you see them just pick them off with a tweezers. If you start to see hermies, you will want to seclude them so that they dont pollenate the others.

You should be okay if you keep it on 12/12 with your new timer...

Beautiful garden by the way!!! :)

one screw up is generally not enough to cause too much harm

plants may through out some balls, which I would say to pick off, but you got them packed in there so tight it is going to be a pain the ass.

and really you can tell if a plant didn't grow for 2 days and then knew it had grown on the third? in soil?

You'll probably be fine. Where I live, we have brown outs and issues with transformers blowing several times per year. I have never had a major loss.

The most I've experienced was a second vegetative growth spurt that caused a few foxtails in an otherwise uniform bud shape. Never had any hermies, knock on wood.

Some people have experimented with light cycles similar to 24/12....though generally not so extreme (more like 16/12,etc.)
It has the effect of causing them to mature and finish faster, at the possible expense of some yield.(debatable)
 
Its also gonna depend on how long the lights were on for 24hrs, one day of 24 hour light shouldnt really affect the plants, I personally have never had that problem, but I have been told and heard that it takes the plants about a week to realize the light has changed, I expect one day of light wont have any affect on that plants fianl product, IMPO I think your gonna do just fine!!

stay high! stay safe!

peace,
Chief

Well it's all approximations, but I will say yes, for sure. I mean, they were just starting to bud and I was tuned in pretty well to the growth rate. They also stopped eating water for the most part those two days.

Well, if you ever re-vegged a plant. it takes a while before any changes are noted. You will be all right.
Plants look good.

Smoke a bowl and relax. I think you'll be just fine. Also, I'm new to growing but I notice a lot of similarity in your leaves compared to a couple DSD plants I have. Beautiful plants!
