what do you do when electric is out

[Diamonddss]

I live in an area with alot of lighting and power outages. It usually is back on within an hour but sometimes more. My carbon scrubber seems to handle all my smell so far nothing outside. However, I live in an area where the electric co often has techs oftem about 25 feet from my grow. Now i would imagine that it would not take long at all for the stink to start pouring out when electric is shut off. I was gonna install some battery operated fans just to cirrculate air when it goes out.
I know from reading that bust often occur from accidents or weather
Like a fire or flooding or robbery attempt.

Anywayway any thoughts on this subject.
Anyone have electric out cause big stink issues?

Get a generator and learn how to service it. You'll be set.

Well, the cheapest/quietest thing to do is put all of your timers onto a battery backup unit (like they use for computers, check out apcc.com) and that way the timers will always be accurate, but I wouldn't run much of a load on them. I use a 120V timer connected to a 240V relay box, so the timer can be kept alive without killing the battery by trying to run lights and such.

Can you run a generator inside of your house or does it need to be outdoors somewhere?
