Have to go 48 hours of dark. Will my plants be ok?

A long story short....it's complicated, but I need to turn my lights off for 48 hours straight.

I am on 12/12 lights now, and have been for 3 weeks. Flowers/buds are definitely showing female sex. If I go 48 hours straight of total darkness, will be plants survive, and bounce back when I throw back on they lights.

I only have 2 plants, and am unsure of the strain, or if it's indica or sativa. Judging by how they look, I'm leaning towards them being sativa (these girls are tall and thin). I am running 4 CFLs bulbs on each plant. The Daylight/blue color, and highest wattage I could find.

Please no questions about why I have to turn off the lights for 48 hours. I have no choice, and that's all that matters.

I just want to know if my plants will survive.

Thanks

Your plants will survie.They might be droop[y when you turn the lights on but they should be fine.

Thanks for the quick response. I was hoping that would be the answer.

So other than being a little droopy, the 48 hours of dark will do any harm?

Thanks!

i think it might revert them iinto veg. i think.

It wont do no harm.Some people go 24 to 48 hours dark to start the 12/12 process.

OK ASSHOLE. THANX FOR BEING A DICK.
i said i think. twice. never once did i say i knew for a fact. you could be more polite with your responses. shit head. >:-0

If your plants have been flowering for 3 weeks and you stop their regular light cycle, you will stress the plants a lot. This stress could cause the plants to go hermaphordite. Hermies are not fun...

I wouldnt worry, its light during the dark period that makes plant hermies,an extended dark period does not have that problem though.

What about 72 hours would that be safe you think

well, its going to stress them no matter what, 48 hrs or 72 but 72hrs w/o light is just too much imo, i would not do it. I wouldnt do 48 if possible, but you already said its not, but 72 pushes it to far i think, at that point your risking serious harm.

all i said was where did you get that info because its obviously wrong.I dont see how you got offended by that but sorry for making you all emotional.

lol ^ wyte berry is very helpful and I think that other gentleman like freaked out for nothing.. I agree 72 hours is too much 48 is ok but will need water and light nutes to start back up with the lighting

3 days is the absolute maximun according to Ed Rosenthal in the Marijuana growers handbook. And yeah, as long as no light leaks in youll be fine.

So how did everything work out.
