Hi guys I’ve tried looking through previous other topics regarding this but wasnt successful
So my question is what do you guys have in place if your growing indoors have a little set up and theres a power cut without obviously having generators and so forth?
Thanks in advance
I’m sure people will probably have a lot of different thoughts on this topic I personally don’t own a generator to me it’s no different then a cloudy day outside with no sun . I guess I’ll just take my chances. Good luck

I run UPS’s (uninterruptible power supply) for my lights. It will keep the lights running for a good 30 minutes in the event of power loss. I have 4 of them so I can go for about 2 hours if need be.

I have 60 indoor plants in all different stages all soil grown. I have nothing in place in case of power outages. I have not had an outage for 2 years tgat I’m aware of. I’d be more worried about my saltwater fish tank… pretty resilient plants

Okay what you do is buy a lot of candles…lol. If the power goes out my girls will just have to wait till it comes back on.
I live in a place where weather and wind cause outages weekly. I grow autos so I don’t have to stress as much about light issues.

My power just went out 20 minutes ago lol, normally I would start my small generator but since its only 11:16 I just removed thenplants from my grow room and placed them in widow light until the power is restored. If I figured it was a bad storm and it was going to be down for a long time Id use my generator. Window light is a pretty decent option though?
I had a power failure here during my last grow, during late veg. Now, my girl had gotten a 100 Way solar panel, deep cycle battery, and an inverter. (We use this at music festivals to power our laser lights when we are tripping balls). I plugged my 2 xl260’s into it, dimmed them down, and I had lights again. I put the solar panel in my tent, so the battery would keep charging. Kept my lights on For seven hours…
