light schedule in a mess

Hey guys !

My plants are now 2 weeks into vegging, ak-47

They have had some troubles the poor things but are coming a long pretty good now, working on their 3rd set of branches.

But their light schedule has been a mess these last days due to family coming over and staying over the weekend, I have them in a very stealthy box so I am able to hide them just fine, but the problem is that during the day it gets way to hot in the box even though I have 2 exhaust fans blowing out.

So they have had some sort of a 18 light /12 dark/ 4 light / 12 dark / 12 light and it is going to continue being a bit random untill sunday.

am I stressing the plants out way to much with this ? am I forcing flowering too soon by doing this and am I in trouble for hermies even though they are only 2 weeks old ? would it be better to just keep them in total darkness if I can only have the light on for maybe 12 hours most, I know 12/12 is for flowering so would it hurt them more to have them on 12/12 for 2 - 3 days and then back to normal schedule ?

thanks in advance !!

Just stick them on 12/12 from now on if you want a quick small harvest and if the genetics are stable then you are unlikely to get hermies. You can do what you want and return to a veg photoperiod when it suits.
