rolling blackouts

[Treez81]

If rolling blackouts r going on for twenty min every two hours and the plants r three weeks into veg should the lights just be turned off until tomorrow or just let it be.

yup get out the flash lights and generators, build fires to keep them warm...........o wait thats grapes

Is this occurring just on a single day or multiple days. One day, I would shut off lights for the day cycle, but have on as usual the next day. Watch for nanners.....3 weeks in is a very critical time to be stressing a plant.

I hope it was only yesterday. I've heard they might do it today too.

I feel for you Treez. Hurricane Wilma had wiped out some of my babies that were so beautiful because I had no power for nearly a month. I tried my best to keep them going with window light, but the heat was so intense without a/c and not being about to fan the canopy or give any air circulation (had to use my generator to keep my freezers going to keep food cold)
it was impossible.

I have an idea though, if the rolling b/o's are happening in a certain period of time each day ... make that your dark period. Just a thought. Not sure if it will work for you or not but that is what I would do in your case if this will be an extended situation with the rollings.

Best of luck to you and ANY light ... like flashlights mentioned etc. could help. I didn't have that option because there were no batteries to be found within 200 miles of me back in '05. I had to drive over 150 miles just to get gas for my generator/vehicle and food for my family. What a nightmare that was. I was in line for 3+ hours to get gas and people were fighting at the pumps. GAH, hope that never happens again! (knocks on the nearest wood) Sorry for babbling on. :stoned:

Let us know if you figure something out. Again, best of luck to you!
