Hey everyone, I'm heading out of town for the weekend and I live in a basement suite. Should I keep my grow lights on or turn them off for the four days I'll be gone?

Honestly, four days isn't a huge deal either way. If you leave the lights off, the plants might grow a bit leggy, but it shouldn't harm their health. I’d be more worried about the lights overheating. I’d personally turn them off for peace of mind!

It's a good idea to use timers if you have them! 12 hours on and 12 hours off works great for most setups. Just make sure they’re set correctly before you leave.
