Where i live there are frequent power outages, the last one was for 12 hours while my seedlings were under 24/7 light.
Will this cause any dramas with hermies and revegging etc?

Do you think having a few battery powered leds would prevent this if i put them over the seedlings?

I can not use a generator as i live so close to other people and it will be noisy, also i cant afford a generator.

As far as veg to flower and vise versa, that shouldn't be an issue as it's not an instant thing, it takes days. Now, if you lost power for 12 hrs a day for days at a time, then I'd be concerned.

Hermies, I don't know, that will require someone with that experience. I probably wouldn't try auto flower plants for that fear.

Have you found decent battery powered lights? I know they make 12v LED for cars now. Maybe a used battery and a couple white LED fog lights would work as a back up? You could probably even power them off a decent booster pack instead of a car battery (easier to charge back up). Pretty sure those 6000k LED headlights would need some some extra's to work.
