    Light failed. Finish flower outside now (<12 hrs daylight but climbing)?

    The power supply to my cheap(ish) import LED light failed. I only had one photo (Sundae Driver) under it which I had just started on 12/12 1 week prior. Where I live (Arizona) I am still less than 12 hours daylight. However in a month I will be up to 13. Will it reveg if I bring it outdoors. Night time temps are cool but above 40.
    5x7 closet with reflective mylar on the walls
    2 UF-4000 LEDs (set to 25K Lumens at the plant)
    150 CFM bathroom vent installed in ceiling exhausting through a roof vent
    Elitech STC-1000Wifi Temp&Humidity Controller
    1X Sundae Driver in 35g grow bag
    2X Orange Velvet in 35g grow bags

    What is the output of the driver? I think mine are 12 VDC, if so maybe run it from a car battery and charger.
    @ 13 hours they could reveg, but most likely wont, depends on genetics.
    Edit the cool temps wont kill it, but it may slow down and purple.

        The power supply is 36V. I am in contact with the seller (UnitFarm) and they are responsive and appear willing to send a replacement. If I get that within a couple weeks maybe I can bring it back in then. It is in a 35g grow bag so not the sort of thing I want to move back and forth daily.

          Nah. All my friends are square :-) Although it is legal, there is still a stigma so I am still in the closet (literally) :-) However, you are right maybe I can find a cheap light somewhere to last a couple weeks. Maybe I can steal wife's quilting light... (ಠ‿↼)

        if possible, move it in and out, 12 hours outside, then move back into the indoor tent at night where she will be nice and warm.

            Thanks for all the feedback. General consensus is it will likely reveg so I guess I need to find a spare light to tie me over.

              Year before last I started all my plants inside, as soon as they went outside they went into flower. I just new they would reveg, but no they did not. Sun went over 14.5 hours and no reveg, yes I was lucky with all strains planted. I have went to 13/11 inside and no reveg. Good luck!

              Unitfarm just shipped a new supply - should arrive in about a week. I think I will leave it outside until then as I will still be under 12 hours daylight.
