Power went out. Question! +rep

So I went out of town yesterday and just got back. It started storming here a few hours ago, and it appears my power went out. Looking at the timer I believe it has only been out for about 2.5hrs. My plants are still in veg, actually planned to start flowering sometime this week.

Just curious if the 2.5hours of no light will cause any problems.

Thanks in advance!

as everyone said
2.5 hours of light wont make a difference
24 hours of light wont make a difference as long as it doesnt become a pattern

Actually 24 hours of light losses makes a huge difference. This will set the plants clock back. Plants will notice complete darkness in 2 minutes or so. When there's a power outage try to put the plants by a window and turn any light on on your room. This isn't a problem for veg plants though but for flowering plants it can get tricky if your lights are on when it's dark outside and power is lost lol.

Can you reference a source for this info or is this an opinion?
i too would like to see a reference for this... they aint gonna notice 2 mins of lost light.. they will notice 2 hrs but wont affect them espeacily in veg state... i dont know if i can put my 5ft bushes in my windows in a power out.. if that was the case ide grow in my front yard... if theres a power outage, how am i gonna turn any light on in my room??? its a powerout!!! dont think a flashlight or candle will help

Awesome. I just wanted to make sure, since it was in the middle of their lights on period and plan to start flowering soon.

Thanks for all the replies.

he cant reference anything hes mysticlown
plants dont have internal clocks
well in some ways they do but hours of dark wont effect anything besides flowering in that case is good
well in veg they will stretch more if theres dark periods... a plant on a 16hr as aposed to a 24hr cycle will stretch more... every1 needs sleep tho even our plants...

Man on the last day or two of harvest I put plants in complete darkness. And it makes them produce an extra bit of cbn and thc. It tricks the plant into thinking the season is coming to an end so it gives it one last burst of carbs and what not. I think that guy has been hitting the bong a bit 2 much latley! haha good stuff []Deace!
