So it looks like I will have a power outage for more than 24 hours. Is this enough to fuck with my month-old plants that are in veg? Make them flower or turn hermie or something?

They can handle it a couple of times in veg without freaking out. I have a belief that in veg a plant adapts to anything you do to it, in bloom, do the same things and the plant will freak and think its life is coming to an end, and in response it will hermi to keep the species going.So it looks like I will have a power outage for more than 24 hours.

I figure that you were in the path of the snow and ice storm that moved across the country from the west to the east. Hopefully you will not end up in a situation where it could take several days up to a week to get the trees cut back and the lines fixed and the juice moving through the wires.I put them out near a window but they still probably got about 12 hours of darkness at one point, other than occasional light from a weak little lantern.
The ice was so thick on my trees that a bunch of them just snapped over, some of them right on my fence.
Widespread power outages due to this ice storm, so I was a bit distracted before ultimately realizing my plants were sitting in darkness. A winter wonderland.
Good explanation, Redcup.It takes a few days or longer depending on the age and strain for the floragen plant hormone to build up and flip the metabolism. A young plant will take longer. In case you wonder about some of the biology...
In the dark, the plant produces a phytochemical floragen. During the day, the floragen breaks down. When there is more dark than light, the floragen builds up. When it crosses a threshold, it, triggers production of other plant growth hormones including gibberelin. That creates the stretch.
Any light you give them to break the long dark period will prevent it so the window sunlight was a good idea. Back in the day there was a technique called the Gas Lantern Routine, so i guess lanterns worked Needs to provide as much light as a month of moonlight, is what i’v read.
As posted above, light irregularities in flower is more likely to cause a problem. Stress induced Hermies are a stress reaction during flower. Hermies can be genetic, Some strains are more likely to them even with stress.
In any case, as the previous posters said, one day is no problem for a young veg.
This is my biggest nightmare, we have temps of 10 and freezing ice. Right now snowing. We don’t really get snow here nor ice like this.. it happens but not to this extent. I am iced in and have been since Sunday. No outage yet fingers crossedSo it looks like I will have a power outage for more than 24 hours.

What ? Ok McGiver , I’m certain this works but I’d fry myselfok here is what you do for some light in a power cut ,
get an inverter , make a lead with a plug on each end , turn off you main trip for power supply THE MAIN ONE coming in
plug one plug into the inverter and the other side into any wall socket , switch on , you now have power to run some CFL or small watt leds . we use this for ourt heating and tvs in a storm , lol the neighbour's scratch their heads
If you are worried about frying yourself then the best thing to do is stay away from the stove.What ? Ok McGiver , I’m certain this works but I’d fry myself
