id say go for it. and im not sure about the 120 to 240. ill have to ask my dad. hes a retired electrician. he'll know. but it shouldnt be hard to wire. most breaker boxes are in the garage anyway.

Yeah, I'm definitely down to go for it - my breaker box is in one of the guest bedrooms, so it's easy to get to - I'm just unsure of what's required to do the wiring.

Wouldn't be an issue at all for me to make an 8x8 grow room with four 1Ks, that'd be relatively simple with some panda film and a staple gun - just need to know that my electric in there can handle it.

I'd really, really appreciate you asking your dad what's involved - in all honesty, I hope it's just buying something like I linked before, but if it's doing some actual wiring, I guess I could put my electrician's cap on.

Still can't believe I just lost 2K on a bluff, how fucking embarrassing.

Great thread! Thanks for all the info. Rbaha and Bob you guys have got me all fired up to try a similiar method.

I am an electrician Bob. (i apprenticed under a guy named Bob Smith, btw. lol ) If you cant get the info you need from Rbaha, send me a pm and I'm sure I can help you out. That goes for anyone with electrical questions, btw.

I have a couple of questions for you guys....
1) With your current setup, how many electrical circuits are you using and do you know or can you guestimate what your total amperage draw is for everything?
2) What size CO2 tanks are you using? Did you buy/lease/borrow? How much did they cost you and what type of place do you get them from?

Thanks again for the helpful info and major props/rep for some great lookin grows! I cant wait to see how they turn out.
SUBBED!!!

Can't speak for Rbaha, but I had an electrician wire me up for 60 amps (3 20 amp circuits, told him it was for a "man cave") in my garage.

Have a dehumidifier, 1KHPS, 400HPS, 300 watts of fluorescents, fans, pumps, a heater, and random odds and ends.

Probably running ~2300 watts right now, but will need ~14000BTU AC in the summer, and at least one more 1000HPS, so call it ~4800 watts.

I have 3 20lb. CO2 tanks - I got them used off of Craigslist (pretty useful place to look, mine were from a restaurant which was upgrading its soda system) - $125 for all three.

EDIT: Rbaha, installed a thermostat to control my 6" inline cooling my lights - well worth the $35 in my opinion - probably save that on electricity in one month from my electric heater not having to run concurrently with my light.

Could've just plugged that fan into my "cooling" on my Sentinel (with the others), but I didn't wanna waste CO2 by having my exhaust come on.

The original dehumidifier i ordered turned out to be backordered. So i went to best buy and bought a 50 pint frigidaire. I put it inside on the side that the old one was on and it only brought the humidity down to 75. So i ended up plugging the other one back in and that brought the humidity down to 67. I thought that maybe because it was below the canopy it couldnt reduce the humidity sufficiently so today i bought some chain and hooks and hung it up high right next to my fan that cools the lights. Humidity is now down to 54. So now i have one hanging and one on the floor. I think im going to hang the other one as well but ill do that another day. Everything is ok for right now. ill take some pictures later.

nice to have you along for the ride. I use 1 circuit. 60amp. dont have a clue what the amp draw is. i have 2 co2 tanks. one is 15lb and the other is 20lb. i got my 15lb online for $90 shipped but it was empty. and the other one i got from a fire equipment store $100 full.

nice bob. i have my fan that cools my light plugged into my sentinel. I have the co2 and cooling set to split so that when the fan comes on the co2 still runs. I let my temps get to 86, then the fan comes on that cools the light and drops the temps down to 80 and then it recycles. its been working perfectly.

Is all of your equipment 120v, Rbaha?

I read through your 64 plant journal but forgot to see what your total grow time was from cloning to harvest. Your first post for this journal was on 11/13. How long into your grow was that and when do you expect to harvest?

 

[rbahadosingh]

here are some pictures i snapped earlier today. you can see the dehumidifier hanging in a couple of the pictures.

awesome grow man. much respect. how many mother plants do you have to give you 112 clones every two months? or do you take clones from the bottom branches several weeks into flower?

my guess is 4 lbs

Looking great, my friend

And how the fudge do you have room to hang that dehumidifier??

I've got my light as high as it can go and ran outta headroom a while ago..............lesson learned for my next project, though.

 

[Barron]

Looking good!! How much does that dehumidifier weigh?

 

[SoloSurfer]

Awsome shit man

thanks man. i have 14 mothers. but i do also take the bottom branches off these ones at 6 and 7 days into flower. any later than that and they will take too long to revert to veg.

lol bob. i dont know. but i had to figure something out because the humidity was way to high and i didnt want everything to start to mold. there is barely any room left...

thanks. it weighs 45lbs

Awsome shit man

thanks

They look great it looks like there just going to sprout out for now on. Dame I cant wait to see you harvest that unbelivable 14 mothers too wow are you prepetual growing? Cuz you should start cloning another 112 soon that will be insane are you cloneing yet? If not when? That is def at least 3.5 4lb grow your bad keep up the good work +rep

i think ill get a little over 3lbs. i already have 150 clones that are rooting right now. they should be rooted in a week or 2. after they root im gong to transplant them into the rockwool cubes and sit them under fluorescent lights to get the roots going until this crop is done.

still here brotha just silently following takin notes and tokin

glad your still following along.

That sounds great the next one should be off the hook 150 clones. WOW! You clip all 14 moms to make 150 clones or how many moms did it take for you to get 150 clones dame soon as I can start cloning im going to get that many or at least 100 great job man
