will turning off the lights for 8-10 affect my plants?

I have 1 plant about 6 weeks into flower and 2 other plants that are about amonth old started 12-12 from seed, because of a house inspection i need to hide my plants while im at work. I was thinking just chucking them in the roof so they dont get spotted but this also means they wont get light for about 8-10hrs :S

The light comes on at 6am in the morning so should i just leave them out of the light until i get home so instead of being 12-12 they will be 8/18? or turn the lights on for a little bit, go to work an turn em off them come home an turn em back on then turn em off at the usual 6pm? if that make sense :P

thanks guys :)

you can have a darker day no problem...... 6 light, 18 dark. my power has gone out for 6 hours when i was out of town and it actually shifted my dark period 6 hours out of whack and it didn't affect anything.
 
yeah i woulda thought the dark shudnt have a negative impact, though i believe that ya shud to it just as ya lights go off so ya dont interupt them in theyre dark hours with light as ya move them
