Yes, they will be just fine. They will not start flowering, it is impossible for 6 day old plants to flower. You will not need to "re-veg" them either. Just go back to your intended schedule..........the plants will not be bothered at all. Even if they were old enough, they would need many days at a reduced lighting schedule to initiate flowering.

Don't listen to 00101010101010111001101, their advice is usually good, but this answer is not. They will not flip to flower so early and will not need to reveg as they won't enter flower so young or so quickly. m0use and PapaT are correct.

That's not the best situation and the seedling may have gotten leggy in the dark and might need support. Other than that they should be fine, just carry on as usual.

The plants are less then a week old?? 6 Days? you are fine, Its not great but they are not likely to go into bloom. They lilkey got a bit stretched and may need support so offer that if needed via garden stake be is plastic bamboo or steel. Autos are tricky and do whatever the fuck they want but they tend to take 4 weeks to enter bloom. Have seen some do it right after germination in hot soils but its not as common as early flower aorund week 3, Photoperiods can not enter bloom till they are sexually mature and that happens aorund week 4-5. so no risk from them. even if you grow photoperiod seeds on a 12/12 they will veg out for a good month before showing flower. Good Luck!

If they are photoperiods, you either stick to 12/12 from here out or push through a re-vege. They are almost certainly in flower based on your description. It's a matter of 10+ hours of uninterrupted darkness. If they got that even one night, it's now in flower. A re-vege is a very long process. There's no guarantee, but a little hope they are too young to flip to flower. If you go with a continued vege, if you see 'preflowers' at the nodes within 5-10 days, it's going to re-vege for sure. Absence of these would be a great sign it never went into "bloom phase". So, depending on your "complete darkness" comment... did oyu open the tent up a buch and let light in there for more than a few seconds? that would help avoid flip to flower. 6 day vege is probably going to give you a ~50g plant? Depends a lot on how fast your plants typically grow. So, that is probably important to your final decision. A re-vege can get messy. if you start seeing excessive branching, don't be afraid to prune some off. Other visible signs are unusual leaves - no seration (smooth), 1-2-3 fingers etc. Just be systematic.. cut every other branch off (leave as many leaves as possible, of course) or something similar to keep it controlled and spaced out enough. "monster cropping? i think it is called is not really a good name. if unmanaged, it won't improve yield, it'll just give you a ton of tiny buds and 5x the work at harvest, lol.

Small little blip like that in early stages won’t pose a problem. They’ll be fine. Carry on as normal.
