Hi, I am interested in buying something that would provide my plants with electricity just in case I lost my power in a storm. What power pack or inverter do people use. I am invested in getting something that can hand a 1000w and I really do not know what to be looking for. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I would advise that you get a decent gas powered generator. One capable of handling a small radiant heater, and fans; As well as the necessary wattage for lights.
A few thoughts , what is the total amount needed fans, heater, light, your home, is natural gas available , what is your climate, "mine can get -67 Farenhight. natural gas and propane freeze at -40 and high consumption by a generator will increces this effect even at warmer temps, Thoughts for Grow :>]
Hi Hammer, I am not sure off the total watts yet. My LED lights comes to a total off 690w. I use 4 regular 20 Walmart fans and two dehumidifiers. I have my lights in two different rooms. I am just trying to figure out how would I go about getting something for back up power in the event that I lost my electricity for five hrs at a time. In an emergincey I would be happy if my lights were just left on so the girls would not stress out too bad lol. There is no natural gases where I live and a compressor would be to noisy for my condo. I was wondering would a inverter and 12v batteries be an option? Cheers
I guess you don’t need my help. Happy growing!
not a lot of experience with inverters and twelve volt back up
