You could take two twelve volt batteries wired in parallel to a 400 watt inverter and do a cfl grow.

you can take 5 gallon buckets line them with black paper,put in direct sunlite all day,at the end of the day they will be full of sunlite ,carefully cover and put in your closet,uncover. carefully ,DO NOT LET SUNLITE SPILL 1 full 5 gal. bucket will provide enough lite for up to 18 hours. just repeat process everyday.

It would not be easy to keep 250W lamp burning 12+ hours a day on batteries. Even if you stacked up enough lead acid car batteries to sustain the power you need, you still have to get a heavy duty inverter to go from DC 12V to AC 120v. And then you need to charge them which I suppose you could do with solar panels.
For the money you would blow on this, you could buy lbs of dank on the street. Wait till the spring and plant enough to last you the year.

I think the reason we were having a laugh is because without electricity there is no indoor grow for this guy, i know he want to grow some dank but without 240volts/120volts he screwed.
It would have been easier for us just to have told him not to bother trying in the first place, i mean his question is pretty silly but still we have thinktanked some ideas up for him, still best is heavy duty cable to extend his power supply to where he needs it, a guy even posted pics of what you can do in a disused bathroom but only if you hardwire to the mains.
No electricity then all you got left is the sun, there your choices, oh and LeD's!lol! Peace

Firstly, I think this thread has been rudely over run by trolls and is seemingly no longer productive toward its purpose.
My two cents;
Yes, I know there are haters - but LED lights are the way forward. I've done a fair bit of research on this recently as I plan to switch my CFL's to LED's once I can afford the bits. I'm running a very small (cheap) enclosure and trying to work with just stuff I've already got around my house.
My research has got me thus far;
3W LED's can be bought on a reel at around £2 for 10cm (three LED's) and they're very simple to connect them up even with the slightest of electronics knowledge.
Use this ratio ~ for 1ft sqr - 12 red, 2 blue, 1 warm white. For 2ft sqr just double up.
It's a rough ratio but there is much proof out there to be found on grows that are pure LED and contrary to what the haters will say, you will get some good results from your small space.
NOTE: this will work most effectively in small spaces. Larger spaces not so good.
Most importantly, your strips can be run from a 12v source, as long as you have a constant current. You may find yourself replacing the batteries like weekly or something but a couple of pound/dollar a week is a small thing to ask for
Your ONLY other options; grow your sh*t outside, or at a mates house, or just get an extension chord like I did for my shed it's not that hard.

OK I am not even going to read the other response past this point,but fucking kidding me right? not to be mean ,but this thread goes good with the thread that the guy got busted,had 2plants 3 weeks old that where dead for two weeks and wanted you use chemical to get hash from them

You saying its kind of a silly question?
I suppose its valid but yer i, of the opinion that ask a silly question and get a silly answer, hence this thread! Tadaaaa!lol!
Op needs to do some thinking before posing another thread question, not in a bad way but more constructiveness and thought process, with all the grows on here id say get electricity from the mains and buy a small indoor grow op or maybe take up golf or somthing that requires no electricity.
I have yet to see many domestic amature indoor solar grow ops succeed, i totally rule out solar less your whole roof is covered in it, pretty exspensive option too!, Peace

2- 125 ah Marine batteries wired in parallel give you 250 amp hours in store. Each 23 watt cfl use 2 amps per hour. Each 23 watt cfl uses 36 ah per 18 hour cycle. For every 2, 23 watt cfls, used in veg, you would need 2- 125ah batteries. And those batteries would only last 7 days between charges. A power plant inverter of 400 watts is cheap, Its the batteries that kick your ass. figure a dollar for each "amp hour" battery. My only intent is to provide information on how to supply household current, where absolutely none is available.

You have four choices:
1. Wire the closet for electricity
2. Extension cord from outlet outside of closet
3. Solar panels (will require extension cord or wiring of closet)
4. take the roof off the closet.
Or do what one enterprising young man did and grow your shit in an extra bathroom. In the bathtub.
HEY!!!!!! What is so wrong with that?? I did my first harvest with 4 plants in my extra bathrooms bathtub with a 400 watt HPS. hahaha It was like Up City Ghetto.
As far as growing indoors with no power. You are Plain Old Shit Out of Luck...... Well you might try getting 500 oil lamps and hanging them around your plants. Just remember to paint the walls white or use Panda Film.

nothing wrong with that
good grower can make most of adversity

well what if op just meant low power usage so he doesnt raise suspicions or electric bill? LOL I was thinking about turning my bathroom into a veg room solar panels might work there are some companies that do a leasing thing so its like 30$a month for 8killawats a day in cali. solarcity.com . why doesn't he just hang his plants up in tree canopy outside they make pots for that or he could easily construct a coldframe. but yeah whats with the people talkin at each other in a distasteful manner. but honestly mushrooms are the way to go for no lights n its cheaper to grow i think i haven't tried but i have investigated.
