Going away for a day

Hey guys I'm a few days into flower and I'm needing to go away for a day.

Will keeping them in the dark for 24 hours harm the plants?
 
Exactly what i was driving at :) there is no way you can be so poor that you can afford to grow but not buy a $5 timer.

you actually get up every day and manually turn your light on and off every 12 hours? Sounds dumb to me.
 
No I'm not but the fact I'm leaving my house at 6am tomorrow morning kinda fucks that up.

Hence why I'm asking if I leave them in the dark for 24 hours will it do any damage

Which is exactly why every grower worth his salt uses a timer and every single grow guide talks about timers. Why would you go out of your way to complicate life just for the sake of $5?

But as above, it can be strain dependant, but you should be ok.
 
Cheers this is only my 2nd time growing so I'm still learning but ill pick one up that way I'm not in this position again.

Good to hear. But this sounds like a typical case of someone growing before theyve done their homework, a typical recipe for failure. A timer is typically one of the first things people buy before they even take delivery of their first seed.
 
I've never needed 1 till now as I'm up at the same time every morning so I've kinda been my own personal timer.

Humans are not reliable 100% of the time; there are always potential mitigating circumstances. Get a timer. Even good, easy-to-use digital ones are less than $25. Manual ones can be bought for $3 to $5.
