A nightmare came true earlier when my 400w HPS light broken, looks like i am going to have to keep them in darkness for 24-48 hours until i can collect a new light.

What affects will this have on the plants going 48 hours without light during there 5th week of flower?
Will i still have a successful harvest? i am going to upgrade and get a 600W instead of 400W in next 24-48 hours will this help them recover better?

Thanks people am very worried about losing the crop bongsmilie

put any kind of light in there until you fix

My last grow, we lost power for 3 days...the only thing I could do was make sure the plants were seeing light from a window. I had no problems afterwards...plants turned out sweet and no herms. As long as you let them see some kind of light, they should be fine.

i have only got a 40w lamp here at mo, i take it that would not be sufficient?
The good news is i am getting a light in 12 hours making the total darkness time only 36 hours, should i just leave them in darkness until then or go with the 40W?

no don't leave them in the dark.....keep their regular light cycle..leaving them in darkness could make them herm
