36 H Power failure!!!!????

Hello !
Im growing Autos in weak 6 and some seedlings.

We have a powerfailure in my whole village and won't have any electricity in 36 H from lights out.

I guess this will effect my plants alot but I wonder if the plants can survive this long complete darkness?
should I do anything special when the electricity is back on ?

Regards a very worried grower :/
 
Yes at least you could let them receive natural light if you can. They’re autos so they won’t stop flowering but still can be stressed

Thanks for the input ! Natural light isn't really possible. They are in my basement and there is no windows. I grow in an RDWC so I cant move them either.

I have been keeping them on an 18/6 schedual ..

Tomorrow in 24 hours the electricity will be back , I'll start them on a new 18/6 lightcycle.

These plants have been thruu so much stress !
Way to long seedlings due to to little light and lack of attention.

Root rot with me cutting of the roots and now this. I'm really excited to see the final result after all this stress!
 
Dr.Moggs, I've had that happen before, but my lights was out closer to 60 hours, that's how long we tried to figure out that we were gone for the weekend, and it was my fault I just forgot to turn the light back on after watering them,
These autos were about 30days old, and when we got back, they looked about like they did before we left, just drooping a little,
When I turned the light back on in about an hour, they looked great, like they ain't missed a beat, but mine were in soil, not coco,
Pretty sure they might not have liked it,but they didn't mind it much either.
Them autos are tough, once they get a little age on them.
Good Luck with yours.
 
Very comforting answer,
I'm growing white widow witch is a really tough plant. Maby they will be just fine ! 😁
Thanks !
 
Hmm I haven't thought about this...
But that's true, this can be a problem.
However, I have a bacteriaculture in the reservoir and ALOT of air when then electricity is on.
Pretty sure the water will stay fresh...
I have reschange tomorrow and will change the res just after the lights go on again )
 
UPDATE !
Electricity is back and i just turned on the light.
Plants look a little tired but I think they will be okay.

however as Californiakid Suspected I have some trouble because of the water beeing still. I identified root rot....again. !

The seedlings looks really healty and got the same time of no light.

I live in az btw and we had tornado warnings near where i live and my mother in law swears she saw it!
 
UPDATE
The light went on about 3 hours ago and now one of the biggest plant looks really sick.

Leaves are curling.
Some have driedand are crispand Grey.
The plant feels soft.

The water smelled bad wich made me think I have root rot but the roots still looked fine, i have changed the resevoir, added nutrients and adjusted PH.

This is the plant right beside, it's a bit smaller but definently looks healthier. 20180902_194350.jpg

any suggestions on what to do? Should I cut of the worst leaves ?

Happy growing !
