how do your grow,ie ebb-flow,bubbler............

we need to know that as to maybe come up with a soloution.

i had a pump failure years ago when i used to grow nft style and just 1 day with warm temps around the same you mentioned was enough to kill my plants that where coming up to week 5 of flower.

so hydroponics with no electricity is no joke in the hot weather.

So at 5 am the power came back on. The plants look the same, even though I know it caused stress. Ya I know I need a generator but know I really know I need one!! Another down side is they got 36 hrs of dark . I run 8 pm to 8 am lights on. So to keep my schedule they won't see light until 8 pm tonight . I'm using Dwc in 5 gal buckets. In the end this is definatly a learning experience. Thanks for the input guys..

I always said you could hand water your plants in case of power failure, a UPS backup power is good for pumps but you will need a generator for the lights, glad they made it through
