Hi. Growing photoperiodic plants , it was in 3 week of flowering and i just found out that i had 1 little light on 24/7 , like 4-5 days , would it re-veg already? Can i continue to give nutrients for 3-4 week plants? What can i do help :( Will it continue flowering normally?

"Cannabis will not stop flowering if the lights are turned on for a few minutes once or twice during the 2-month-long flowering cycle. If a light is turned on for 5 to 30 minutes—long enough to disrupt the dark period—on 3 to 5 con­secutive nights, plants will start to revert to vegetative growth." "Less than one half of one foot-candle of light (0.1ppfd) from sunlight will prevent cannabis from flow­ering. That is a little more light than is reflected by a full moon on a clear night. Well-bred indica-dominant plants will revert within three days. Sativa-dominant plants take four to five days to revert to vegetative growth. Once they start to revegetate, it can take from four to six ad­ditional weeks to induce flowering again!"

Fix it and move on. Might mess things up a bit but you should be fine. Streetlights and yard lights are always on for outdoor and they work out.

Yes, it doesn't take intense light to stress a plant in flower. Dr. Bugbee has a video or 2 on this subject and gives a good guesstimate on what minimal amount of light can cause something like a hermie before a full re-vege... some variation due to genetics expected. His numbers deviated slightly from prior research, but this could be genetic variety.. they are not testing a huge sample of plants. also, 'green' light causes an even stronger response. This is an excellent lesson about 'bro-science'. You can find people that are adamant that green light won't disturb the plants at night, lol. This is objectively wrong. They made a hypothesis based on the fact less green light is used for photosynthesis, but then never tested the hypothesis.. just assumed it was true... repeated it ad nauseum, now we have nonsense bro-science that is a commonly held false belief... one of many. if it wasn't strong enough to cause a re-vege, it'll elevate risk of hermies. Maybe, you got an extra robost plant and you don't, but it is something to be concerned about and ensure it doesn't happen.

Depends how much light was on 24/7. What does a little light mean?? Definitely not ideal to be interrupting the dark period during flowering. But what’s done is done, rectify the problem and carry on as per normal. Itall you really can do.
