Sps without light

Just how long can they last? The reason why I am wondering is because my lights have been dead since Tuesday and the bulb wont be coming in till this Monday. Thats 6 days with the room lights turned on for a few hours each day. Is there going to be a problem?

They'll likely brown up a bit. Also, once you fire up the new bulb, you might want to acclimate them a bit by putting the light higher or reducing the photo period.

6 days! No one in your area that can lend you a bulb?

Well lending is one thing, but actually getting there is another because I have no ride

well i guess they will have to think its a bad bad storm with heavy cloud cover. 6 days I say they will be fine with maybe a little loss of color.

with a cloud cover you are still getting the rays from the sun. Its like going out in a cloudy day you will still get sun burnt... but with low low light its hard to say. good luck
