Hello friends, I need help. I forgot to turn on the light for the plants, and this is the seventh mistake. The difference in their condition is five hours. I need your help to reduce the stress on them as much as possible, or should I kill them? I don't know what to do.

Way too early to cut them bro. Don't panic, just correct the light timing issue and continue as normal (get a simple timer at least).

Chill out bro… keep calm… Cannabis is a weed and extremely resilient. It grows in very ruff conditions. You seam to be very anxious quite easily…. There’s ONLY 3 PROBLEMS TO AVOID, growing indoor, TOO MUCH WATER, TOO MUCH LIGHT, TOO MANY NUTRIENTS. That extra period of darkness will be more beneficial than harmful for your plants suffering from TOO MUCH WATER. As you can see, everyone here will help you to get to the final harvest. Jah bless

Turn on the light. Move on. 5 less hours at the end of 100 days won't matter. Photoperiods require an uninterrupted length of darkness to trigger flower phase. This is the factor that can stress them out if you interrupt or do not consistently provide enough uninterrupted darkness. Messing with the light portion of the cycle is no big deal (as long as it doesn't reduce length of darkness). if worried, keep eye out for the next 2 weeks.. pluck any nanners you see. male sex organs don't materialize over night. it takes time to grow.

Hey Buddy, breathe for a second, this is not a disaster, and absolutely not a reason to kill your plants. A 5-hour light delay feels scary when it happens, but in reality it’s a very common mistake, even for experienced growers. Plants don’t think in single events, they respond to patterns over time. What I’d do if this were my grow: • Turn the light back on and return to your normal schedule • Don’t try to “correct” it by extending or shortening the next cycle • Don’t feed extra, don’t flush, don’t prune • Just give them stability and calm conditions One missed or late light cycle causes far less stress than panicking and making multiple changes afterward. Plants are surprisingly resilient. They deal with: • cloudy days outdoors • storms • uneven light naturally A single 5-hour delay won’t suddenly ruin them. What matters now is: • consistent light timing going forward • stable temps and airflow • leaving them alone to recover Watch them over the next few days. If anything shows up later (and often nothing does), it will be subtle, not instant. So no, don’t kill them. This is a “learn, reset, continue” moment, not a failure. And hey… we’ve all done something like this at least once. You’re not alone . Growers Love my friend, keep us posted and please remember this is just my humble opinion

Hey, don’t panic — 5 hours of missed light is not a death sentence at all 🙂 This happens to a lot of growers, even experienced ones, and plants are much more forgiving than we think. What to do now: Just return to your normal light schedule. Don’t try to “make up” the lost hours. Keep everything else stable (temps, watering, nutrients). Don’t prune, transplant, or feed heavy right now. Avoid any extra stress for a couple of days. What to expect: You might see a bit of droop or slow growth for a day, but that’s it. One-time light interruptions like this won’t cause herming or kill plants. Much worse is constantly changing things to “fix” it. Absolutely do not kill them — there’s no reason to. This is a small hiccup, not a disaster. Plants recover best when we do less, not more. You’ll be fine 🌱

Don't do anything, just return them to their normal schedule tomorrow and they will be fine. If they are autos it will not matter in the slightest, if they are photoperiod plants it will also not really matter - one day with a broken routine is not enough to upset them or send them into flowering, for that they need at least a week of a changed light cycle to start the change in hormones to initiate flowering. There is absolutely no need to "kill them"!
