Well I still have them in the sunlight I’ll leave them till 6 pm then put back in tent? There saying no power possibly until Sunday which sucks I really hope
My whole grow doesn’t get ruined. I have a plant ready to be harvested but I think she’s okay some people give dark periods before harvesting. As for the veg plants let’s hope they pull thru temps are at 57 degrees f and 46 % humidity

I was always worried about having to deal with a power outage and smell getting bad so we had a generac generator installed in the new house we bought. It kicks on within seconds of an outage. Haven't had to rely on it yet but it was worth the peace of mind.

Nice plant and glad to hear you got power again. Good luck with the harvest :D

I would love an on demand genny for the house but that would also mean I would need propane tank in the yard and delivery, in the long run the peace of mind alone would probably be worth the cost but I only grow for personal use so it isn't like I would loose a fortune, just stuck paying big bucks for lame weed for the wife and I until I got another harvest :( , funny thing is the OP was stressing about lack of light, that wouldn't be my worry as I don't grow in soil indoors anymore. I have all my pumps hooked up to the computer UPS's and I get a good day with the one minute on 4 off cycle out of them but after about 26 hours I need to have my generator running. but those UPS batter packs give me some sense of security while at work or out and about if the power fails. Anyone else have some equipment hook to them for peace of mind?

I have a line running from my flower room to a 3000va UPS. Only things connected to it are my cloner (I just run an extension chord if needed for this one), router/wifi, and one shop light with a couple of T5's in my flower room. It's not meant for anything longer than a few hours but that's more typical in my area. It's pretty rare other than the odd ice storm when the power cuts out for more than a couple of hours at a time here.
