Power Cut Halfway into Veg Stage?

Hi

I have a crisis. The flat I'm in has suffered and 'leak' from rainwater entering the property. They need to change the carpet in my bedroom and fix the drains out the back.

Problem is, the landlord does it all himself so it is out of the question for me to leave the lights on for the day when he's here.

My usual lights OFF hours are 6:30am - 12:30.

If I allow it to cut off at 7:30 instead and then it may not come back on until 18:30 that night. There is also potential for this taking more than one or two visits so it may not be just the one time.

Basically, I can't afford to buy any CFL setups (plus he is coming 2moro morning), I have to turn them off and hope they don't notice my Budbox hidden under a pile of mess in the frontroom. Has anyone experienced this, should I go into flowering now or will I be OK to veg for a couple of weeks after this 'day-off'?

I want to veg if poss because I had a few heat set backs at the start and we are now 25 days into veg. I had to top the ones that were doing well and attempt to clone the tops (and a few bottom shoots) otherwise the big plants were too large. I only chopped them 3 days ago and a couple of the top shoots have stunted and gone a bit brown. I went into flowering under similar circumstances (ie. about 1 week after topping them) and it produced small colas :( (although I had between 5 - 15 colas per plant :)

So what would you lot do, flip em now to 12-12 and have no worries or give 'em 12-12 tomorrow and then back to 18-6 as usual?

a stict light schedule is not required during veg, in veg any light is just that light that can be used, think of it as a cloudy day. They will be fine.

ok cool. thing is it is PITCH BLACK in the Budbox and I can't leave it open and risk a Bacon Stinker getting his hands on my secret garden.

But I am glad to be reassured by your comment. Thanks,

Don't worry about it.

I've lost power for 7 days+ due to a hurricane and everything came out fine. Was in veg also.
