I have to go out and help with my father who has alzheimers and do not have time to get a timer-
I have been turning the lights on and off myself
What can I do? Leave them in the dark for 48 hrs..............put them by a window...........or put them outside?
this was TOTALLY UNEXPECTED AND NOT PLANNED and Im kinda freaking out!!!!!!!
ANYONE???

One time letting your plants go a full 24 hour cycle in darkness will not be the end of the world. I've had to swap flip flop setups before mid-flower and then swap right back a couple weeks later before with no ill effects. You really don't have 20 minutes to run to the store and grab a cheap mechanical timer for 15 bucks?

I think your best bet is by a window or outside. I would give them an extra long night cycle to transfer them into regular daylight hours. Timer would be better though.

Grab the pops and drive back to the house, plug it in, and go back to what you were doing?

I'm not trying to be a dick, just trying to figure out how to keep you out of a bind.

Worst case scenario you can't leave to turn the lights on and off at the appropriate times?

Might have to try that-youre not being a dick! Im driving out there now trying to keep up with this and yes I might have to drag him out with me and get a timer tomorrow

Since they are this far along, leaving them in total darkness for 2 days won't hurt them a bit...........I've done it a few times with no issues.
