    Power outage and possible issues

    What’s the longest you’ve gone without power during your grow? My power has been out since 730 am with veg turning off at 8 so that’s not a big deal. Lights should’ve came back on now as it is a 18/6 schedule. My flower though is beginning week 8 with the lights supposed to be in at 8 am so at this point it’s been 18 hours of darkness. At what point should I worry about my veg turning to flower and my flower possibly herming on me? Thanks

    24 hours dark will not hurt them at all. Just reset your timers to reg schedule when power is back and you should be fine. Good Luck!

      TOKABIGONE you don’t think there’s a chance of the veg turning to flower too early at 24 hours? I run the lights off for 30 hours when I transition them so I don’t know if 24 could do the same thing or not

        Can't you put them near a window or outdoors?

        Well, I did it with a 4 hr outage and it was suggested to me. No issue from it. Plants were fine.

        I loose power often. If it’s a long outage during veg I leave the lights on 24hrs a few days just to be safe. Your concern should be with air flow and humidity in the tent. If it starts to getting too hot and humid I take the plants out of the tent
