well hey there...
need some tips on this one..
due to relocation , my setup will be exposed for a couple of days to everybody , i'm gonna shut down my op just for a few days , i would belive nothing more than 3-4 days , max.

i got 3 lovely young plants , all in there end of first week of cabinet under 250hps , 12/12 from seed.
i was thinking about just put them in a dark place for those 3 days while i'm moving , sounds like a right decision? any other ideas? what would those 3days in a total dark environment would do to those young ones?

thanks all.

What stage of growth are they at? Regardelss, they should be fine with three days of dark. If in veg they might be set back a little because it might take a few more days to start up growing again. If in bud, I don't think anything negative will happen at all.

We lost power a few months ago for a total of four days. To the plants it was 12 on 48 off 12 on 48off. other than slow growth for a day or two afterward, everything was fine. I would say as long as you have a stable strain hermwise your plan sounds good.

yeah hermies in an unstable strain is your only worry. but alot of good strains don't herm to easy.

Could you put a few CFL over them just so they stay in statis?
