Yeah it would be great if we could just grow out doors, but like McB said, neighbors, light interrupting the dark cycles, it would actually most likely turn out a lot worse than the 2 hours of less light. Thankfully I have not been badly affected by the load shedding as my time slots are sorta odd in terms of that. So I lose about 2 hours at most during flower and 4 in veg. However when they eventually stop 24/hour load shedding it would basically just be the 2 hour slot. That being said I'm pricing generators now and just seeing which one I should go for. I might just bite the bullet and get the 5.5kva, I work from home so I do need it in order to charge my laptop and stuff.
