what up with your big gen,i got a gentron 6500,sit up for a couple years and run fine other than no power to controls,took off ever thing just about,wound up taking a side angle grinder plug into gen and roll it backwards on the sidewalk,just quick movement,it does something to the brush like knock the crap off,but power will turn the grinder on win it back feedshad a power outage for around 36hrs. Luckily the flower tent is done. I had a small burple panel I set up to keep a few under lights and a little led desk lamp over the new seedlings. I let some light leak over to the big girls that are about ready to flip. I survived lol and so did the plants. I used a small generator to run my heat and a few lights. I know I need to upgrade as my big generator is currently dead.

What do you do what you lose power? Soil is forgiving, dwc and hydro I see as an issue. Share your wins and losses.
5500w portable generator. Job box splitter connected to 220 it’s got 7-110 plugs. Extension cords galore, back up 4 bulb T5 in flower room and veg room. Also dehumidifier powered. I’ll through a vented propane heater if need be to keep temps normal.
Extension cord to refrigerator and freezer. Also to living room entertainment center. No need for electric lighting wife’s a candle horder.
And if need be Christmas light illumination.
So if my bud room is dark for 24 hrs it won’t hurt them. I’m in soilNote to any newbie reading this down the line that lost power for the first time. In short, don't panic. Extra darkness is not gonna kill em.
Try to find a generator if you can. I have a small one for a quick reaction to 1. control the smell 2. If lights on time- turn on a couple of bulbs. I fire up the big boy if it's expected to be a while. The best advice I have would be after the power comes back on- double check all of your timers to get everything back in sync. That's where I've run into actual problems.

The mini Yamaha was a loaner, keeping the house warm was my primary. I had enough extra wattage to run a little light. My veg tents run 24hrs. I find when you run 24, they flip faster when you drop the hours.
Maybe it’s just in my head but they seem to respond faster. At any rate. No issues this time.
Well, if you are thinking of increasing the amount of seedlings, isn’t it easier to get powerful right away so that you don’t have enough power and don’t buy new ones?
