Alrite so im in the process of cycling a new tank all the parameters are almost aligned where they need to be its been going for about 6 weeks now *maybe longer* and i havent gotten a light until well now *this coming saturday* itll be here and im wondering since i didnt have a light before if ill have to go thru another phase? if that makes sense

Light doesn't affect cycling per se. The bacteria aren't affected. However, you may get some algae now, especially if your nitrates are high. Just the next step in the tank maturation process.

Exactly.
