Autoflowers aren't controlled by light cycles so you have nothing to worry about.

Not catastrophic at all. One time with 12 minutes and growing an auto = zero effect = nothing to be worried about.

Everything should be ok. Not going to matter much since your growing an autoflower, especially if you’re into four-Five weeks of flower already. Photoperiods would start freaking out if this happened to them a few times. However if this was a human error (you messed up) on the timer then just fix it and proceed. If it’s a digital timer and it messed up, chances are it will do it again and it’s time to swap that timer out. Hope this helps.

not catastrophic at all. details listed below. Even if it was a photoperiod where the light cycle matters. once is not going to make it freak out. With autos they can be grown on light schedules that are around 18/6 and still flower, even at 24/0 they will flower. Autos do not require prolonged darkness to enter bloom they use a different mechanism to bloom, unlike like their photoperiod counterparts that do need uninterrupted darkness for around 12hrs.. This is because in the dark they are making flowering hormones and these hormones are light sensitive, meaning day light cause them to degrade and breakdown. Autos just don't do that. so even having light leaks is ok. where as with photoperiods strains that's asking for big issues like hemi. Good Luck!

Hi Bro nein es ist nicht schlimm und macht nichts aus und bei photoperioden auch nicht so schlimm wenn’s nicht Grade 5-6 Stunden waren. Viel Erfolg und schöne Pfingsten 👍🍀
