I've got two plants that are in the third week of flowering. they are growing in a greenhouse so to get 12/12 i carry them inside at 10pm and outside again at 10am.
But i'm going on holiday in 10 days and there's no one here to do that. What shall i do??"
He's saying " I cant be home to bring it in on the dark cycle..can I leave it outside for 24 hrs untill i get back,so i can resume flowering? will it hermi?"

Don't be an ass, we have read the title. The title suggests he is in flowering and wants to revert back to long days.
What comes before flower? Long days of light and veg.
If he is now in flower, what could he possible revert back to?
Answer, long days of light.
In reality, he meant something similar. I read he'll be on vacation in 10 freakin days, and you suggest a dark blackout for the time he is gone. Where does he say this holiday is only 24 hours long? That seems a bit short for a vacation, which they refer to as "holiday"
You are so wise.....

i just want my plants to survive and get maximum yield! You guys are saying opposite things so i'm still not sure what to do. i need more opinions!
@steph187 are you saying 24hrs darkness then back outdoors. Or 14 days of 24hrs darkness?
When i'm away i would like my plant to continue flowering. will it still do this with 16/8??
Thanks for the input guys!

right, so leaving it outside till he get's back, the plant is gonna get maybe a few extra hours of sunlight for 14 days, or it is gonna be in the dark for 14 days. I say leave it out side.

Where Steph does he say he'll be gone for 24 hours? What he wants to do is leave them in greenhouse til he gets back...

what are you wanting. to flower or vert back. ifflower then just leave them be outdoors and your good to go, if its your wanting to vert back your ok to do so at this stage in flowering, just put under 24/0 lighting..

You can't leave the fuckin plant in total darkness for 11 or 14 days. That is asinine....
But I agree, after taking care of this plant and deciding to leave it after 2-3 months of care seems like poor planning to me.
Leave the plant outside. It may revert back to vegging, it may not, depending on the plant and the amount of direct light. Don't let it die of thirst while you are gone for 2 weeks.

If I were in your situation I would Leave them in darkness..as ive done it before (power outages..often..very often..I live in DC). Thats all I can tell you. From what Ive read,it takes around a week to 2 for a plant to actually start "re-vegging" so you might be fine....Weigh the risk and do as you please. peace

So you are claiming he is fine to leave his plant in total darkness for 14 days?If I were in your situation I would Leave them in darkness..as ive done it before (power outages..often..very often..I live in DC).

What do you think the plant is going to do for energy? Do you actually believe it will continue to bud or survive for that matter? When did you have a 14 day blackout? That has to be the most crazy advice I have seen on here yet. You are in a league with the guy you chewed out on first page. lol... wow
Leave the plant in the green house poster. You really have no other choice now do you? You certainly do NOT want to put the plant in a dark closet for 2 weeks. More than likely, your plant will stop producing bud and begin to show signs of new growth by the time you get back. Just resume your 12/12 at that time.

gotta agree, plant can't photosynthesis with no light, maybe put them in a room with some cfl's on a timer.

It can't revert back to veg if it is in total darkness. It will more than likely eat off itself for energy/sugar production and die. We are talking 14 days, not a week (thats a stretch in and of itself)It will pause budding and it will droop BUT it wont revert back to veg

It takes weeks for a plant to die from not photosynthesis: http://www.gardenguides.com/130239-long-can-sun-plants-live-darkness.html
