Hey guys/gals,
We have a scheduled power outage this Saturday, could be upwards of 8-10 hours (probably estimated to be higher than it really will be, hopefully).
My plants are only a few weeks into veg. How long of an interruption can plants truly handle? I do have a generator which I will set up, but I'm wondering because what happens if the power randomly goes out for an hour or two here or there while I'm at work and I don't know about it? I live out of town and we have lost power for short periods of time, and the power in town remains on, so I have no idea how often if happens when I'm not home.
Additionally, will it cause any stress if I run the lights 21-3 for a day even though they are used to 18-6 for weeks? Likely not right? I know some run 24 hours but I'm wondering if the extra 3 hours would do any harm/confuse them when all they know is 18-6...
Thanks for any info and advice!
