I'm on the east coast... We got this damn hurricane coming. I got a few questions and concerns but lets start with the biggest, What do I (or anyone else), do if the power goes out for an extended amount of time? Please don't say "go buy a generator", there ain't any left. Please don't say "just put them outside under sun", it's far too cold where I am and I got some nosey neighbors.
Honestly, I don't know what to do??? I know it wouldn't be the end of the world if the ladies got an extra dark cycle or two, but after day 2 or 3 of darkness, I know they would suffer and die. I can't count on my utility company to get my power back on within 2 or 3 days, if or when it goes out.
I wish I knew someone to take care of them, but everyone I know will most likely lose power too... There is no easy solution.
Help me out, suggest something I haven't thought of.
In the same boat my brotha, what the F*ck are the chances of the NE getting a hurricane back to back years!
Growing teaches you to make lemonade out of lemons, IMPROV IS KEY!
What I did was put my ladies near a big window which is kinda sketchy cuz all my apartment neighbors can see. So what I did was put a sheet across the window a little higher than the height on my plants, that way the sunlight can still hit them at a more vertical angle. Then I arranged them so they all get the most light possible. Then go outside and make sure you cant see them from where ever your neighbors maybe looking from.
You'll notice that during the day the window acts like a one way mirror, where you cant really see inside a dark room from the outside. However be careful cuz the opposite is true, if its dark outside and light inside you can see everything from the outside, so be caution using flash lights. At night cover the window completely if you plan on using flash lights inside cuz light attracts the eye.
Im a little worried about the temperature as well cuz its suppose to get in the 30's this week, but marijuana is a STRONG plant. It will go through stress but will bounce back in time.
Happy Growing and Best of Luck! and lets hope for the both of us that we dont get another freak blizzard this year as well.
