What does one do if your light dies mid flower like very close to harvest… this would be my last grow since I am moving locations and stuff so I really don’t want / have the money to spend on a new light.

2x4FT tent with two plants - light turned on this morning for day time and then shut off 45 mins in….. Is there a way to get by for the last bit of flower ( couple weeks ) or do I call it quits and cry?

That sucks.

All I can think of in a pinch are CFL's/shop lights/etc merely to keep the 12/12 going. Dunno where you are located but on my Craigslist here in CO folks are giving away old lights/grow equipment....and I'm sure there are cheap lights out there as well. LED's are dirt cheap all over the place as well.

I hope you can find a solution. Chopping early always sucks/minimizes the take.

Didn’t even check warranty yet, more concerned about getting light back on them at the moment.

I wouldn't worry for about 72 hoursish. As they are maturing weather is usually getting worse and day length shortening. So a few days of heavy overcast would be normal. May just hasten your harvest a bit.

PS if it takes you a bit to restore light can you move them close to windows. Also be aware that if they are out from under light for awhile, be cautious when turning the light back on! They won't be used to it so take a day or two to turn it up on them.

UPDATE : First off THANK YOU ALL.

Plants were only dark for about 24 hours. The are awake at their normal time this morning, coworker was able to loan me a light he uses but is not growing at the moment.

Light was still in warranty and the new one is on its way from AC infinity
