Ok so there is a huge storm hitting us right now and my power is out which means no bubbles for the dwc or the cloner and most important no lights a generator is out of the option as I live in apartments what can I do? I don't expect it fixed for most a week (very rural area)

im not sure what needs to happen in those systems, but you can get one of those handheld battery operated fans and adjust it so it is only in so it is flapping

Manually spray the clones with a spray bottle filled with whatever nutes u are using to keep the clones from drying out. if your generator is dead u have no control over the electricity so keep those plants alive that way but the lighting for them will be all fucked up.

Wal-Mart has a pump for the bubblers that's in the fishing section. Not sure how many hours it works maybe 18-36. It's used to keep minnows alive on fishing trips. Recharge at your buddies.

Good Luck

oh good, was gonna say.. u basically $^*&! out of luck when the power goes out for that long but if it happens again as a very crude disaster-control option you can take the cubes out of the dwc tray spray a large zip lock bag on all sides with the water/nute mix you using and wrap it around the root zone up to the top of the cube with a rubber band to make a semi seal.. I did this once with some clones when my pump siezed on me and had to wait 3 days while a new one was shipped and they survived ok (still had to spray once a day at least though) - also reducing light levels during this time will allow them to survive for longer until a perm solution presents itself..
