That's a bummer. If I were you, I'd definitely leave the lights on. I'm saying this because in only 2 days your plants won't have enough time to slip into revegging and even if they do, this will only add maybe max 1 more week to your flowering period and will only increase your yeald.
Actually, there's a method proposed by a member that I'm going to try out soon enough. With 2 weeks before harvest, switch to 18/6 or 24/0 for 2-4 weeks. This will cause a revegging. The plant will grow alot in this stage. Switching back to 12/12 and letting her finish will guarantee double the yeald now.
maybe, if you got the time and space, you're willing to try it. Even if not, light is better than darkness. (It's even recommended that in the last 2 weeks you go to 14/12... this will assure a larger yeald).
Expect your plant to grow a bit if you leave the lights on for 2 days.

PS: Do get a timer. Growing pot without a timer is like trying to keep in the legal speed limit without a tachometer. You can pull it off, but you'll never know when you're right on the limit.

that will just revert them back to vegg and mess everything up.

and i think that method u are referring to actually is 6hrs on/ 18 off. to make the plant think its the last days of light before winter. otherwise why would u want to revegg in the middle of flowering?

No man, that's the whole point. If you revegg in flowering and let the her grow a bit more, the already existing buds will swell up and then when you kick in the second flowering even more buds start turning up. It's been proven to double your yeald, and will "cost" you only 2-4 weeks more. Here's the thread I got this from:
https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/143542-neat-growing-trick-secondary-budding.html
Plus I really don't think that 2 days light will reveg. And even if, you'll just end up with a bigger plant with bigger buds. You can then continue to flower her and she'll switch back to budding pretty fast.

A friend of mine cuts his lights for 2-3 days mid way through flowering and says he gets bigger buds. I tried it and only noticed a small increase. Actually... the darn things looked healthier than before I killed the lights for 2 days. Who woulda thunk it?
