Power outage!! Uh oh!

Sensimilia_Sensei · Jul 15, 2023

My plants are in bloom. But yesterday during the light cycle, my power went out due to storms. They had light from the window but 6 hours left in the cycle....Well we've been without power for almost 24 hours. I just got a generator and all is hooked back up. Things look OK but I'm just curious as to whether or not this harmed them. Here is a photo..

I'll bet you and anyone close by felt that when it hit the street. That is one big-ass branch.

Presuming we got hit with the same storm, that was insane. Walked my dog at midnight and the damage was stunning.

Just make sure your timers are back to business as usual. I've lost power for a week and with just dehus running my grow still finished out.

Decent chunk of oak there, that’d be cut and stacked on my driveway for winter!

I found myself wondering if it was choose the items you can hook to your generator sort of choice.

I had a generator that wasn't powerful enough to run everything. I wasn't even able to dim the grow lights without it tripping the breaker to the generator, also you should only use inverter generators on sensitive electronics like that and I don't have one of those.

Yeah I have a "transfer panel" that wires into my normal breakers then to my generator, I can switch from line power to generator power but only on certain circuits. This beats using a single breaker cause usually the max amperage is 40.

Power outage!! Uh oh!
