Power outage for unknown days.

Hey everyone. My location for growing lost power last night. I went there today to check on my 2 plants but noticed the building doesn’t have power. Maintenance guy is slow as hell at getting anything done. All he has to do is call his electrician but even that is a task.

Anyways I have 1 plant that’s 2 weeks into flower and another that’s 8 weeks veg. Both on a table by the only window I have at my location. They cannot go outside. I get maybe “ok” light through the window.

If left them there for say 5 days...will this cause my flowering plant to herm?

I dont want to leave them there that long.. I can move them to a temporary place but it would be a high risk move and a bit of a process to do.

Note the plants are grown in a grow cabinet. So ample light was available but now minimum by a window.

If it's too much to move them, and you have no other way to produce electricity for lighting, then the window sill is all you have, right?

It's definitely not optimum, but if it's only for a few days, I'm sure they'll be just fine.

Because it's still early in the year, the hours the sun is up should even keep that flowering plant, well, flowering (at least where I live it would).

Either way, even if it goes into reveg, you're not even done the flowering stretch period anyways.

Yes, any kind of stress during flower can cause issues...2nd week since you flipped the lights? IDK, but I'd be calling the maintenance man myself and bribing him with a fat bud!

I’ve called him once and I reached out to other bands on the floor to call and bother him. I’m gonna call him again tomorrow. Hopefully with more of an answer.

Odds are, if I feel it’s to the point I need to move them. After I do all that the power would be fixed 5 min after I leave with the plants and lights. Lol. My luck. But we will see what tomorrow brings.

You might cut some clones to root off site as a backup plan, worst case.

Honestly I would get some sorta light up there just to keep their cycles regular. LED lanterns that run on batteries. It's enough light to keep them awake when they should be.

I actually have a LED lantern I can use. Only problem is that it can last 50 hours staying on. I would probably put the plant still in veg back in it’s box with this light. I don’t want to hit the flowering plant with continuous light. It might be better off in the window.
