Adwise needed - +24H of dark.

[krizo]

So i got a tricky situation here..
Some maintenance men are comming to check the heating in my apartment.
So i need to hide my 14 plants that have meen flowering for good 4 weeks.. Damn..

So my quoestion is.
is the risk of freaking my plants too great for +24h darkperiod?
im no too happy to wake up 5 in the morning to tear up my grow room..
So ill do it the daybefore and skip one lighet period??

Does it make any sense to anyone?

Is it possible to shut the lights down for just while they are checking ur apartment? Atleast my girls havent said anything, no hermies, nothing.

Unfortunately no.
The room has a smaler grow room. Thats is made mostly whit ducktape =DD
Its horible looking thing and it is in front of the heating unit.
So my best plan is just to tear the shit down.
Hide the plants under a big table and put a tremendous amounts off junk on top off the table and have a nice decoid.

Hi,

Which Genetics is it? Sounds like you're quite advanced in the Flowering,so stress could always be a problem at this stage...
don't know but I think it's dark period that really induces bloom so perhaps you could also go for 24hrs light the day before and stick to 12hrs dark . keep assured when you hide plants there's no Light leaks...

At Least that situation will be a good way to see the real Females from the possible Hermies

Do not go 24/0 before tearing down. One 0/24 period will do no harm. It's bouncing back and forth that screws you.

The plant tries to flower shortly after sprouting but, the hormones responsible are allergic to light. Hormones built up at night are killed off by daylight but, as days shorten and nights get longer, hormones start to survive, build, hit critical mass and... voìla! Flowers.

Increasing light kills flower hormones and tells plants it's time to veg. Not the message you want them to have at this point.

Thx for the info you guys!
So i just woke up at 5.30 in the morning and teared the shit down...
took me maybe 1.5 hours.. So the lighet period was that day 10/14. More dark less lighet.
I dont thing that the plants will say anyting. only the moving damaged one bud. but so far so good!

Edit.. The plummer came and did his job noting special to it..
but he said that after 2 weeks they have to come back a again and intsall some HeatingCostCalkulator or some waky new thing.

Growing sensimilja is pretty hard labor when people come in and out all the time..!
