First Grow Bagseed w/CFLs (pics)

So I had a HUGE scare today. My power went out for 1-2 seconds, BUT it scared the crap out of me b/c I realized I am not prepared for any kind of loss of power. This is one HUGE advantage soil has over DWC I guess.


Any ideas of what I should do if I lose power?

Buy a SHIT load of candles. LOL jk

You could get a generator... Wait till you need it.. run to the store, buy one.. use it.. return it.

Generator is not practical where I live. I'm not so worried about the lights being off, just my airstones...............

A generator is practical anywhere --- if the power's off. Well that shit up the stairs, through your apartment and onto the porch. lol

wow your plants came a long way..

i about shit myself when i seen this picture and realized what that exact plant looked like in the beginning. i actually have it as my background on my archos 605. awesome job

Yeah I'm getting nervous as hell right now. I'm in the winter storm sweeping through the ohio valley. Its been freezing rain all day....there is ice everywhere. I really hope I do not lose power for any significant amount of time. If i did lose power, how long would I have.......anyone know? Dammit, I don't think I am going to sleep tonight!!!!

Swale, have you thought about investing in an Uninterruptible Power Supply or UPS?

You can get one that will run a 300W computer for 20 minutes without power, if only running a couple of air pumps, it should hold out for over and hour or so. You can get one starting at about $50. Get them anywhere... walmart, target, best buy, circui--- oh wait, they're out of business.

Diggity, I have looked into this and might be picking one up. I think I will be alright with this latest bout with the weather.....so far so good.......

how often do you guys get blackouts? over here i get storms all the time but blackouts dont usually occur at all. so i guess you should be ok. btw i paperclipped LST to some holes i poked along the circumference of the pot. fishing weights would work to some extent but you would have to keep adding weights daily because plants are pretty strong =P

I have a pwer backup... Prob is when the power goes out in my area it ends up staying out for like 3+ days.

In my area, we don't lose power at all except for ice storms (like right now), wind storms, and the occasional lightning strike maybe. So really no blackouts at all....just at the mercy of good ole Mother Nature.....you can't help but love her!

beautiful update man. i wish i were a miniture person and i would live in that jungle haha. anyway, maybe as a souvenir of your first plant put the leaves inbetween pages of a book, close the book, and come back a month later and you will have something to frame =P

Lookin good, bro! Dont worry about the sizes of yer buds right now! They are growin w/good spacind, so you should have some good nugs!

Update coming tomorrow, as it will be 30 days into flower!

it would be nice if you have a bigger room because that gonna be a crazy leaf to bud ratio.......... hopefully its still works out though...

Looking good, your definitely going to enjoy the smoke.

Glad to hear your going to be a CFL - HPS convert.

Keep us updated, as always.
