FML!. The last 2 days the power has gone out mid-light cycle,so both days the I just let them get a few extra hours of dark, 9h.on/15.off and day 2 was a lil longer ,no biggie rite? Few extra hours of dark,ehh no problem for the most part. Now i thought i had fixed the short and sure enough this morning about an hour after lights on THE FRIUCKEN POWER GOES OUT AGAIN!! For No more than 2 hours and just now got lights back on---yikes!! MY MAIN WORRY is will this One power fluke mess my whole flower room of super dank healthy girls in week 6??

If it was just a few days probably not the end of the world. I've hurd though it's not leaving the lights off that fucks with them.
It's leaving lights on . Or having your lights Pop back on . In the middle of your dark time

Write, the past 2 days they just got some extra dark time- but this morning i went out for about 2 hours just after lights "on' and when i got back home it had turned off? So i turned them back on- thats what im worry about- lights on at 7am- i leave / 9am- i get back and lights are off.- I immediately turn back on---enough to stress and herm???

You should be fine. But I'd figure out what's causing the lights to shut off and fix it fast .!

Sounds like you have too much power drawing from one circuit . is the set up in a bedroom or a room with a lot of other appliances running . is the power in the whole house tripping or just the power going to the grow room/tent

if you go into your electrical panel and feel your switches and they are sloopy feeling replace them they do go bad ,i just upgraded all mine before i started grow.i wasn't tripping any switches but i was told that if the switch isnt tight to the touch replace it ,it didnt take much for me to flip switches off .home depot had 20 amp breakers i really cant remember how much they were but i bought 16 of them for like 75 dollars. hope this helps man

I dont know how electrics are different in america but here im studying electrical installation and all our plugs are rated at 13A a 600w lamp draws about 2.6A if your breaker is 20A sounds fine but if you have a cooker or fridge freezer and maybe other lights and fans on the same circuit and your drawing around 19A if the rcd/circuit breaker is old or a certain brand this may cause it to eventually trip . i could be way out as like i say im not america but hey , we'll see when it gets tested
