about 7 weeks in flower

Do you have a local hardware store or even a Wally world?
Timers are not that uncommon in places like that.

Dont have time!!

Man I'm not sure about this one. I would say go dark before light. Good luck. Sorry about your father

How long will you have to be gone?

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.

I agree with the consensus then - shut the lights off if you don't have time to pickup a timer.

In the time it's taken you to reply to this thread you could have driven somewhere and bought a timer dude.

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?

If you're not at home how can you do anything about the lighting?

By asking questions and determining what I MIGHT be able to do tomorrow before its dark again
Thanks for all the help-Ive gotta watch the road or Im gonna hit something

Ok, no posting & driving - we want to talk later.

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.
