A huge ice storm here has knocked out power going on 80+ hours and I'm worried about my girls. They're photoperiods and they seem more perky than they did with controlled conditions, surprisingly. Temps are probably 45-48F and humidity is around 65-70 but I literally have no control over anything.

Power SHOULD be back in the next 24 hours but.. Should I worry?

45 to 48 is just the equivalent of a fall night

Either way there isn't much you can do

Worrying isn't going to accomplish anything. Wait for the power to come on and continue with your normal lighting schedule.

Good luck with your power getting restored. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

Bummer.
No point in worrying, it'll change nothing.
They should bounce back

Try not to heat them up too fast when power does come back on. That wouldn't be pretty. Maybe raise the light a bit for the first day. Things will be humid for a bit.

Thank you for mentioning this as I left the tent heater on. I did leave the tent open to help with humidity so hopefully that was enough to not heat shock them.

Give em some daylight if you can.
They could go into flower with 12 in the dark for 3-4 days.

Power is back on now so the lights are back to 18/6 so hopefully they'll be okay. I’ve read stuff about photoperiods going from veg to flower back to veg with relatively little stress. Hoping that is the case here.
