Ok, I am gonna do an NFT grow after my current one has finished but have always been worried about power cuts. Considering you need a constant flow of water it is extremely important that you guard against such incidents. The solution, is one of these:

Simon of serious seeds swears by it which got me going on the idea. If you think about it I reckon it will make a big difference, especially in a hydro grow. A further 6 hours of growth time will have them shooting up..

I'd only give it a go though when I have the digi as the extra heat would be too much of a concern..
