Yes you can. Your pic doesn't make much sense to me, but you use connect all the wires of the same type In to each wago.

First i have to say, thanks that you tried to help me. You seems to be very helpfull
You gave me allready 2 answer for 2 different questions.

But both times you gave me wrong answer. So i would say next time if you answer a question, then only if you know the answer. or tell them, taht you are not sure about your answer and they should ask someone other

I'm not wrong. You must have done something wrong. It's simple. All hots go together, as do all neutrals and grounds. You need to cut a piece of wire for an empty wago slot to be able to lead off the wago to connect your plug to.

this might help
search the ipn #
I got mine on Ebay
makes splitting the fan power easy
I use it with this as it's 5 amp it will run the fans just fine
plug & play both

its a good option, but with shipping cost on their site, it actually cost more than the nzxt grid over here.

Thanks for all the help, ill be starting my first grow and am ready to order from Jerry. I just don't know if I should go with 15 cxa3070 vs 12 cxb3070. Don't know if its worth it for the 3 extra emitters. Cost difference is about $110 between the both, But its 3 drivers vs 4 or 5 drivers for the CXB. That would lead me to believe that the cxb are better? 3 extra emitters would be an extra 150w I think, but the cxbs are more efficient.
