is there a battery backup in the controller? it's likely that it requires constant power to keep time. otherwise, like a standard analog timer, no power = no ticking. it'll pick up where it left off as soon as power is provided again.We are looking into a 22kw house geni but we don’t have gas only propane in my area. But that’s country living I guess.
If controller would have functioned properly wouldn’t have been issue. Not sure why it just didn’t resume 12/12 ? Better controller maybe?
I have the e720, thinking of buying the controller, just 300 is steep, I had power out for 2 hours yesterday, scared the heck out of me, I very seldom have a power outage but if something like that ruins my first grow I would be pissed, not sure why the controller would do that and would be a little nervous in the future, if you speak to Growers Choice please post what they tell you. Good luckHad some storms yesterday in Michigan and looks like my power went out. my Growers Choice light controller and lights did not function as I would have hoped. It came back on in some sort of low power and stayed on continuous for 19 hr. So 7 hr to long. I was camping and just got home this afternoon. I am on day 18 of flower. I am putting into darkness for 12 hr and back on controller after that.
So after all that being said do i need to worry as much as I am about re veging or worse.
My first grow and the girls are crazy healthy tons of bud sites. Would die if they grew balls.
I had a similar issue happen with the Growers Choice Lights. I has some of the ROI680's and I was using a Trollmaster control to run the lights thru. I changed the amount of light the fixture was suppose to put out. I has switched to flower and the plants just kept stretching. They got to be over 78" tall before I finally figured out the lights were not shutting off all the way. This had happened before but if I just cycled the lights. (unplugged them for 5 seconds and plugged them back in) they would reset. The last time they would not reset. I did contact Growers Choice and they sent out a replacement light the same day. Just try and keep and eye on them to make sure they are completely shutting down after your lights on period.Had some storms yesterday in Michigan and looks like my power went out. my Growers Choice light controller and lights did not function as I would have hoped.

ok... all good ideas, but for the immediate problem till you can fix things more to your liking, try getting a cheap smart plug ($7) and then program your lights to go on off with it, then if that happens, (power goes then comes back) the smart plug kills power then turns it back on (so a reset so the light wont run low power - which is the driver i would think not the actual light). you can control it from your phone no matter where you are.
you can go nuts and get a smart sensor ($40 - or any old smart phone you have will serve as a smart sensor and has lots of sensors built in) and monitor the LUX, temp, humidity, and even motion, so you know exactly how your tent is when you are away.
