This is a little bit of a bizarre question but we’ve got four plants we recently started on their 12/12 light cycle. They are outdoor plants which we bring in every night to a dark room. We have to go out of town unexpectedly for 2 days so I’m wondering whether it would be best to just leave them outside but the cycle would definitely be interrupted because days in Wisconsin are still pretty long, or…set a timer on the overhead light in the room they’re in. Neither is ideal but we dont have a choice. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
I am a beginner my self however i think you would be better keep the light 12/12 or they may start revegging

Do you have an indoor grow light? If not, the indoor light won’t help much with growing. But it might be enough to prevent any re-vegging.

We do have an indoor grow light but its a small one and probably wouldn’t be enough for these 4 plants
A grow light should definitely prevent revegging. You might lose some growth, but you would maintain cycle.

Ok great…I guess in the scheme of things 2 days of lost growth is better than going back into veg…thanks!

I think you are correct. Good luck!
Yea, for sure. Revegging is a mess.
Too much dark is preferable to too much light.
Should be very little affect if only 2 days. Just make sure they have enough water to get thru.

What I’m thinking of doing is put the small grow light and the overhead on the 12 hr timer just so they won’t go back into veg. Losing a couple days of minimal growth I can live with.

Yup, any light maintaining the cycle is the goal. Low light for low heat less moisture needed., maybe.
