Power source

I’m thinking of putting a grow kit in a barn which grows up to 12 plants and 2 lights, I was wondering what I could use to power this. Generator isn’t really a good option as it’s to loud, was thinking more like a car battery. Would this work?

I’d get power ran out there or get a big enough solar array big enough to power it.

A standard automotive battery will not work - too much draw.

A solar array large enough to power 2 lights (say, 600 w each) would break the bank in addition to the battery setup required to store the energy at night and when stormy/cloudy out.

Run an underground line out there & be done with it.

Then find someplace else to grow cause without hard wiring electrical to the barn or growing outdoors near it that spot won't work.

Car batteries are 12 volt. You need at least 110 to run grow lights. Quit foolin around in people's barns kid.

I would consider buying a greenhouse and setting up in that. Harbor freight has a couple for cheap. Personally I would advise against growing in a barn a mile and a half from my house tho. More likely to get ripped off. You could set up a small greenhouse in your yard.
