dwc with no power! what do I do?

[munchtrees]

I'm going to be in the 5th week of flowering when the electricty goes off for 10 hours next week. How do I keep her alive with no air pump to keep the bubbles flowing?!?! will she be alright for 10 hours in the dark without an air pump?

you can find 12v pumps on ebay some less then $20 a good car battery should be able to power one for 10 hrs. I'm not sure tho I don't have your specs or could I get any real info(amps) on the one I looked at. some other Ideas that might be helpful are rent small generator, tank of compressed air/gas of choice set to slowly discharge at proper rate.

What to do about loss of light though...especially in Veg?

drain ur res and leave just a couple inches in the bottom of each pot and they will be fine.

I'm in flower right now and luckily the power will be off during my original dark period.

Great ideas, unfortunately I'm about tapped out on expenses. Also, I have a stealth box set up so noise has to be limited.

That's definitly the answer I was looking for I'm just going to be up all night worried till I know she's alright lol

Your plant should be fine.
