Should I Leave My Grow Lights On or Off While I'm Away for the Weekend?
Asked by CuriousCat42
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?

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.

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!
