Hey,

I know dark cycle is most important, however... what would be the effects of a full days cycle turned to darkness?

my lights work from 10pm to 10am , and my power company decided to do some engineering to power basics from 9pm til 7am... leaving me with 3 hours of light for that day.

What should I do? Let her have 24 hours of darkness?
let her have a long dark cycle with 3 hours of flowering (what I can)?

iv had similar problem in that i works away alot and on two occasions on different grows iv had 1 occasion of 24 hours darkness and 1 occasion with 48..with the 48hour i was about 6weeks in as well and everything still turned out ok..i would just carry on when with your usual times after the power comes back on and thers not really much you can do anyway...

I would tend to agree, I've had outages during flowering and it did not effect them. You should be good to go.

Needn't worry if your girls party at night for a couple of days. If they stay in the dark for more than 48 hours things will get tricky.
