Winters A Bad Time To Grow

What's good. My plant has been flowering for almost 4 weeks now, but the snow storm that has been going on for a few days now has turned my power off 3 times while the lights were on. Twice yesterday and now once this morning a half an hour after the lights turned on. I'm wondering if this will cause the plant to stress out and become hermie or will it just set it back?

Damn, yeah, lines going down is the big risk for winter growing. On the other hand, temperature concerns become a non-issue.

Well from your statement "My plant" I assume you only have one??
If so the power going out and having the lights go out is an easy fix.... take you plant out to Natural light when this happens. Like by a window or even in a room that recieves natural light.

I would do that but the place my plant is at (yes I only have one), virtually no sunlight hits the house. I'd be scared to do that anyway because it's really cold here and no heat since the power is out...

Around Halloween we had a major snowstorm and my power was out for 27 hours and my plant had no issues. You will just have to wait and see.

Yea my plant had no light for 6 days the last time this shit happened, it turned out fine but I'm worried the plant will go hermie because of the lights going on and off randomly

it doesnt require direct sunlight to help avoid issues. if it is daylight outside and you lose power, do like the guy said, and pu it by a window. simple as that

You shouldnt have much problems with the lights out, itd be more of a problem if your lights were stuck ​ON during flowering

i agree with this, and the bigger worry is interupting the dark cycle, not having the lights go off during lights on... it's the amount of dark hours that makes a plant flower, not the amount of day light hours, so it's nothing to really worry about...
my last grow we lost power for like 10 hours or so and everything turned out fine, and our power just went off like 3x's the other day, and i'm sure it will be fine again this grow..
