you either tripped the gif or the breaker. if there is a GIF that says test and run or test and something try hitting that if not you need to figure out which breaker in your panel runs that room. go out side and flip each one, hvae someone inside on the phone tellin you which shuts of which and write them down. your bedrooms will be 15-20 amp breakers try all these first. you may have to get new one there only like 5 bucks
My place is really small so it's easy plus my breakers are labeled, I tried the GFI thing too because I have one of those outlets in my bathroom and still nothing. I'm going to figure out what to do when my girl gets home.

Had some electrical issues to spek knows his shit. Sounds like a faulty outlet when spek told me what to do I unplugeed my shit and unscrewed the outlets to find that the landlord had one of my outlets running off 2 wires when there is suppost to be 4 per outlet + ground cable I was running 1000 watt hps + fans ect witch blew the main fuse to myapt take a look behind the outlets to make sure your cheap ass landlord isn't like mine and running shitty wired outlets I break up everything NO more power strips they overload the outlets wich causes failures.

Look to see if u have any GFCI in your house. If u have a outage and u don't have any blown fuses or tripped breakers then it has to be a GFCI or a blown apart splice. If ur lucky its the GFCI. If u check that and u still have the problem call a electrican cuz u have a blown splice or a lost neutral.

If the power went out while moving your box there is an issue in your box that needs to be addressed. When you re-set the breaker did you flip it to the off position then back to the on position? Was the grow box plugged in when you re-set the breaker? Is the "no power issue" confined to the single room or are other rooms without power also?

I used to inspect homes for real estate sales. I would short circuit every outlet in the house in order to test for GFI outlets. More than once I have had to hunt down a GFI that should not be protecting a bedroom. GFI outlets are for protecting any outlet within 5 feet of a water source (standard length of an electrical cord). If the issue is confined to a single room I would start pulling outlets and checking the connections. It is possible that there are loose wire nuts or screw connections behind one of the outlets. I have also found outlets that have for no reason fell apart.
