Hello AMU

Ive not seen you active for quite a while, its good to see you back.

How far in the future do you envisage the need to have a 4 day darkness?

I am not sure but I thought Lowryders need 24 to 18 hours of light. That much darkness my cause it to hermie. But then again I am :stoned: and never grew lowryders. No timer or window sill you could use?

Imo, they will be fine. Only thing I could seehappening is them sucking up all the nitro sitting in the dark for 4 days.

 

[allmashedup]

they will be going in the dark in 3 days time.

Okay, not that it is any of my business, but what kind of situation requires that you leave your plants in dark for 4 days? This seems like a long time and I really think I would try to work out something, even if it was a lower intensity light.

 

[allmashedup]

i am going away. and i will not be able to leave lights on a timer. cause the person coming in to feed my cats will notice the light. and noone at all knows that i grow!...dilemma or what !

If you have an attic run a cable to it and leave the plants with a light 24/7 for 3 days.

Or run a cable to your airing cupboard, remove all your towels etc and put them in a wardrobe and put them under a light in the airing cupboard and put a lock on the door, if asked why its there when you get back, blame the cats and say they have a habit of using it as a litter tray..

You could hide the plants outside somewhere in the wild or your garden if you have 1.

I would leave enough food out to last the cat 4 days they seem to take care of themselfs pretty good on their own. Who's to say that the person you have comming in to feed your cat won't snoop around a find your plants. But 4 days in the dark I would think not good JMO...take care..

I feed my cat once a week and he eats when he wants to (dry food) no problems or dilema's. Screwhaving someone in your house!!!!

I would never!!!!! Never have anyone in anyone of my houses, except to feed the plants if anything. Your looking @ some serious consequences if your nailled b, think about this 10X before acting!

Same with our dogs, WW. We go outta town I use the scoop and go: 1 for Mon, 1 for Tues and so on. Oh, and I have a doggie door to uncomplicate things. Your pets will not eat as much when you're gone, IMO.

 

[Strawberry Cough]

yeah, leave out enough food for your cats, and keep the lights on.

OR

use a battery powered florescent (no cables).
