Hurricane is killing me no power

I've been without power for almost 24 hours. My girls are 5 weeks into flowering in a homemade airoponic system. I've been running the air and water pumps on a batteries 50% of the time to keep things wet without using all my power.

How many days do you think i'll be able to last without light? I've already missed a full 12 hour session.

I keep misting the plants trying to keep them hydrated because I can't run the strayers and air 24/7.

Word around here is 5 -> 7 days without power. might be an early harvest...

thats hard brv are u ok were u are ?

what about a generator

use the sunlight and if need be premature harvest em.. but a tarp and sunlight 12/12 you can do it

how the hell are you using your computer if your powers out???

batteries...

eh, they will be fine for a few days at least. Might shock them a little but I also agree with the other poster that if you aren't going to get power for quite a while you should put them outside. It's 12/12 pretty much everywhere in the country at this point right? Only problem will be keeping those roots wet in teh aero table. That's the reason I decided against it was someone pointed out that if you lose power for more than 12 hours your hosed unless you manually keep them alive.

Get some candles lol.

i wonder whether that would work, a candle grow

To answer everyone at once.

1.) We're fine. We're in Ohio not Texas. We got 60+ MPH wind and no one is here to fix it.
2.) Every generator and power line crew was sent south to Texas.
3.) Its a custom built aero system which cannot be physically removed from the room its in. Trust me. This shit would smell up city blocks anyway
4.) I still have power at work. I am charging batteries while I am here and swapping them when I am at home.

The air / water pumps are only running about 50% of the time, probably more like 25%. We've been without power since Sunday afternoon and still have no signs of repair.

If I can't make this generator happen, how many more days should I wait before harvest? Again we're at 5 weeks flowering.

I have a lead on a generator for this evening. Everyone is still alive, but they've missed two light cycles. Lets hope we can get some real power!

das some ruf shit bra, sorry bra. wish I culd give u some dank 2 make it easyer

get some solar panels or something?

I got the generator fired up and i'm using batteries to power the pumps at "night". I think we'll be ok. Still no power and the planets arn't getting a full 12.

Anyone think it will be a problem if the planets only get like 8 ~ 10 hours of light instead of 12? Just for a few more days until the power company fixes the lines...

My power was out for 3 days, just sat them in window sill...but you are hydro, mine did fine, stretched a little bit, but nothing major. You CAN keep hydro alive manually for about a week im sure...but it is hard, and time consuming, the only thing I can say is good job for the effort, and hope everything works out.

ditto! Hope you get your power back soon, and your girls do ok!
