    what stage are they in?
    if veg then chill tha fuck out everything is cushtyy
    if its flower, then give em darkness til the beggining of the regular 12/12 cycle, cross ya fingers, hope for the best and keep an eye out for narna's (pollen sacks)

    Polarbear, it seems from your other posts that your plants are in flowering mate.. as suggested above all you can do is fix the problem, get the plants back onto their normal 12/12 cycle as soon as possible and monitor them carefully to see if they start growing balls..

    if they start looking like these in this pic you are screwed
