Can I keep my moms in the dark for 4 or 5 days?

I need to do a little re arranging...

You might mess up her light cycle, but I'm not sure I would try to keep some kinda light on her and move thing around as fast as poss.

cmd it's not a good idea, they might make it through with no apparent deterioration but theres a high probability they get very stressed from this. i'm curious, why do you need to keep em in total dark for this long? you do need light to work in rearranging that room

I would venture to say that a four day dark period for some little clones would probably just enough energy loss that you would have alot of dead clones on your hands. Try to at least put them next to a window for some nice natural light but imho i wouldn't leave them in the dark.

CMD, I have kept plants with just a spiral floro, for a few days, while setting up a grow area. I kept that light on a 24hr schedule. I know that this is not optimal light, and I was not expectig any growth from them, just maintain them until I could get them in their new home. They were fine...4 days dark scares me...seems like a long time to me!

Not a good idea IMO CMD. Lost some nice strains on a four day road trip once due to light deprivation. The plants spit single bladed leaves out and even after substantial veg time never fully recovered from the effects. Clones exhibited the same behavior.

well, I guess that's a big negative on the dark peiod..

I have something else figured out since that won't work..

thx everybody!
