How long can plants survive without light?

Yeah that's what I was afraid of. They're going to have to be without light for probably 48-96 hours. And are already Fem so the hermie chance is already higher than normal.

If yo go 48 to 98 hr and return light at 12/12 and bloom them i think you will be fine i know a few people that
Finish the cycle with a week a darkness they dont hermie on them. Not sure how it would go going back to a veg cycle

Yeah that's what I was going to do. I needed to grab a carbon filter too. And on that note how long after beginning of flower do they start to smell? I have some NL, Ak48, Jack Herer, and Super Lemon Haze. I know it depends on the strain a lot but just as a general consensus

This is one advantage of running the 12/12 cycle on at night.
Yeah but I still wouldn't want to risk them seeing the door with the vent holes in it. Putting the plants in hiding was to give an extra layer of security. And when I put the room back together I can focus on details I missed earlier.

Well you got x 2 very stinky strains there! I would say a week or too max then a scrubber is needed

Ive had plats go days without lights and b fine. Power outage when I first started growing and the generator wasnt big enough to run lights. Only ventilation.
