timer problem

ok so heres a scenario. i have a mystery plant that flowered for about 6 weeks then got moved around and when it did its timer got messed up. during the 7th week the timer was on 12/12 but it somehow got set to come back on for 15 mins right in the middle of the dark. this lasted about a week to 10 days tops.now for the last 10 days its been on a steady 12/12. it does not show signs of male but the main cola got a lil extended. about a inch where it looked like it was vegging a lil.This is mainly a sativa but a tame one. so what should this do to my harvest time and the bud quality/density . all opinions are appreciated

Keep watching your plant for stress symptomes such as hermaphrodism, and try not to stress her any further. No overfert, no light leaks, no nothing.
You might pull through without any problems, except some stunted flowering. The re-production of vegetal mass is normal in this situation. There are even growers that practice 'buddus interuptus', a technique to add some weight to the buds by throwing in a single 24h light period in week five of flower.

she seems to have stretched her buds a lil bit since i put her back on steady 12/12 . her buds do look kinda airy now but she is still popping hairs. i have had a sativa herm on me before and it kinda looks the same except for no male flowers as of right now.
the buds kinda remind me of heat stressed buds that are real opened up and extended. except heats not really a problem.
also they seemed to have mainly opened up and stretched since i fixed the problem. but like i said it is still budding some just slowly and minimal and not compact

so im at 81 days and im not sure if she is done. i took some samples from diff places of the plant and put them under the microscope. it seems that some of the plant is done but some not . weirdly enough it seems the very top is still maturing,
any thoughts

Sometimes that happens; most of the time it's caused by not enough light hitting certain areas of the plant.

What people do in this situation would chop the part of the plant that is done leaving the rest to flower a bit longer......

What lighting are you using? How big are the plants?

Are they 81 days from seed/clone? Or start of flower?
