Hey guys,

I live in northern Australia and as some of you may know we are about to get hit by a large cyclone (typhoon)

This means their may be a chance I could loose power for a couple of days.

I currently have 13 plants in their second week of flower under a 1000watt hid and about 40 cuttings in an aero cloner under t5's.

How long could the plants go in the dark before I should get worried?

Thanks in advanced

Noca

the clones might die, unless you spray them constantly, and the adults should be fine, but depending on the growing medium.
I had plants in four days of darkness and they did fine, but they were in soil. You'll just lose a lil weight at the end. To answer this better i'd need to know more information.

It's no problem them having extra dark time during flower, it's far better than having extra light time. I would start to worry after 4 or 5 days of total darkness, they could survive longer but yield would seriously suffer. I hope the cyclone passes without causing too much damage mate.
