It takes about 10 day to transition to flower , so you are alright. If you can put them in front of a window till the power come back on . Boil a big pot of water for some humidity.

You can also leave them in the dark for the extra time. They won’t mind. I changed my light cycle from 7p-7a to 7a-7p by just adding the time to the dark period.

Sunlight will not hurt , if you can sit them in sunlight depending on your timing , but are you in veg or flower ?

They fine , even in flower the worse can happen is hermie or revert from flower to veg , just make sure they have a lil drink 4 ounces !

Also airflow! Being in additional dark is more humidity. I know youre still in veg but still in 90% RH in the dark with stagnant air is a risk Im not willing to take. Even if its passive, crack a door and a window and let mother nature give you a hand.

I’m out of likes, just had one thing to add. Same thing happened to me, power went out for about 30 hours.

If you have mechanical timers they’ll need to be reset. I got myself some digital ones with battery backup so I don’t have to worry about that anymore.

I’d just open the tent door to allow total airflow until you get the power back, which I hope you’ve done by now. That storm was a MESS.

Put a dewalt battery powered fan in there to exhaust the room. Weather outside is 20 degrees but put a portable propane heater in there to keep temps up and i also opened the windows about an inch just to let fresh air in. Room is at 70 degrees and humidity is holding at 35. Hopefully that gets me through until power is back on. I have 5 spare 60 volt batteries on hand for the fan and a spare tank of propane.

Sorry if I missed you saying that, no excuse, I’m not even high.

Any word from your power company as to when to expect restoration?

Ok folks so my power is back on. My 6 hours off is from midnight to 6am. Should i just go about my business like the outage never happened and power down at midnight like normal? Or should i do something else?

Business as usual. They’ll keep rolling right along as if the 6 hour break was a cloudy day. Same off time as before and lights on as it was previously

Just make sure your timer is reset, if it is mechanical, and make sure it is right if it has a battery backup. (Batteries go bad) :wink:
