No, it wont hurt them 2 hours loss should not be a problem.
If your timer is mechanical, make sure you move it, to where it should be once the power comes back on.

Shouldn’t. My area is prone for outages. Every once in a while I will readjust the timers on my lights if they get off schedule too much.

With the limited power draw of LED lights, it doesn’t hurt to have a UPS.

I’m telling you bro after this run I’m going to put money back into the lights and that’s a good idea right there I’m going to put money aside for that too because I don’t want to screw with the photo. I just had a feeling inside and it it it it’s not going to take much to fuck it up I’ve seen it happen I don’t have any bleed off or anything so but you just never know you don’t want to start messing with the cycle but I was told by that old head you know I mean there’s a lot of different practice is now that they would look at you like you’re crazy like pulling fan leaves off a bud sites these just let him rock and roll. I’m not talkin about training just talkin about in general the shape of the plants organic fertilizers. Thanks for the info bro I definitely am going to do to a change over after this goes over with with the lights in the feed setup I’d like to do a drip set up 4 hey four by four tent. If anybody has any build links hit me up. I really don’t like messing with the light schedule even

Just wait until you have lost power for days on end. A few hours is nothing to worry about… They have a built in calculating genetic ability and will compensate for the difference…

It didn’t dawn on me until it happen but I live in a private community in the ghetto where our electricity is balled up into one fee I know this sounds crazy but I can run as much electricity as I want. They don’t check individual houses like that here then again you can’t overdo it I have great neighbor so I can to a point I just don’t have the money but as soon as I do get the money I should invest in a generator at least a small 1. Dad always had one but he’s a smart dude. Mechanical engineer by trade he should be helping me build a light setup but he’s so straitlaced he won’t have it. He has a Generac that’ll last days and days on end he also makes six figures a year. Anyway I couldn’t imagine losing power like that for days I just drag them all outside into the sunlight for real I mean what else could you really do if you don’t have skylights, porch, or anyting like I don’t. Like you said it’s small thing. It’s still does though plant the seed of having a backup battery at least for a few hours for Essentials put a generator for the fridge and stuff just never thought about it. Y’all have a good one. Blessed be.

You don’t need much light just to keep them on schedule. I use a portable car jump starter, it had an inverter on it to run 110v so I just plug a single 10w led bulb in a table lamp, on in the room, it will last about 20 hours. You can pick one up for around $100.

It’s just bullshit the way this City is ran. This is what happens when you let Democrats have their way and run a city. I wonder what would happen if I made a group called White lives matter I’ve never been a racial person but it just kills me to see all these banners that say black lives matter don’t all lives matter we won’t get on that subject but it’s just something to think about after the riots happened here the Police Stopped policing for fear of reprisal from discriminating against blacks. If you burn your own Community down I would make you build it back up I would never build your house back after you burned it down. Otherwise I can’t complain about the free electricity LOL though that’s about the only good thing about this place you get one of these on your door and you expect it’s a happen I’m not complaining cuz my lights stayed on. Definitely going to pick up a reserved battery I like some of those big tower looking deals with the outlets on them. My girlfriend has a small power brick that’ll charge your laptop twice starter car twice and probably kill you if it dumped in you thanks for your time fellows. Today’s a great day my plants started showing sex!I
