Might be forced to change the light cycle- question

[zzoomm100]

Afternoon everybody. I'm a medical marijuana patient from SoCal. I am currently on the 32nd day of flowering on an indoor bathtub grow using just CFLs. I have two plants, 1 White Widow and 1 Aurora Indica in Fox Farms Ocean Forest and they are budding up nicely.

My problem is this. I have some remodeling work scheduled for my condo in the upcoming weeks (3 to 4 week job) and I can't have a grow going on while the contractor and his crew are tearing up and rebuilding my place. Should I:

1) Put the plants outside and let them use natural sunlight from days 37-70 of the flowering cycle? We get some great sun out here but will that leave me with a weak grow and some fluffy buds?

2) Flip the light cycle. What I mean by this is instead of having my 12 hours of light during the day, stash the plants in a dark closet during the day, and put them under the lights from 7pm-7am at night. And if I do this, should I give them 24 hours of light or 24 hours of darkness when I change the cycle?

I'm leaning towards #2 but I wanted opinions from the more informed.

Thank you very much in advance. This is a great site and cannabis is a gift to mankind. Truth.

Well i have done option #2 befor with the 24 hour's of darkness but nothig beat's the great outside. Is that safe tho?You would Hate to lose them now.

Thanks for the reply Dain.

Security is not an issue. I have a private balcony. And it's all above board in California so I'm not worried about a thing. I just don't want my neighbors to know that I'm growing a few plants.

Sunlight would be fine, you think. I'll check one in that box. Thanks.

Id go for option 2 also, whatever you decide to do good luck man

#2. Likely the least stressful option. Let them sleep extra long then switch the light schedule.

Yep, gotta go with #2...

Ok, question answered. Thanks everyone.

I've been taking a lot of pictures so maybe I'll post them in the completed journals section after I'm finished.

Time for a few bingers of Afgoo.

Peace.
