ya man def. happy so far... just need to perfect things and buy a few nessisary pieces of equipment, like a flowering table for all my clones, ventilation set up, possibly a light mover kit and conversion bulb for the 1000watt MH so i can run 2 1000watt HPS.. thats a mayb, then ph meter/Ec/ppm, and mayb build that closet.

i really need to flower some things to cut down the garden so i think i might flower under the 400watt in a month everything i dont need to keep around.. like a few from seed, all the clones, and my "main mother" (nicknamed "maintrain"), and a a couple clones from each strain. we will c how much room i can make.. might need to put the 400 on the light mover. i can only run 1400watts plus computer and LED and CFLs and T5s and fans etc. so it makes it a little complicated with how many plants i have. the plan is to eventually put the mothers i am keeping under the 400watt MH and put the 1000watt HPS up on the light mover and create a cycle.

why are you limited to 1400w har far away is your electrical panel? just run a new circuit.. also i know your still not quite ready for it but i was working on your air set up..
you will nedd a 6" inline fan, a 4" inline and some computer fans

the electrical panel is in the next room that the grow room is attached to, so not far.. dont know how to do that though.. but ya i blew a fuse a couple times with just what i have running right now, the girlfriend turned on a hairdryer in the basement bathroom and everything went off in both rooms lol.. other words i would run all three right now (1000wattMH, 1000wattHPS, 400wattMH) buuuuhtt the thing is, wouldnt that be really heat? i am kind of already sketched about the amount of power im running, and then i add another 1000watts!? lol.. u think that would get me in shit?

and no problem man i really appreciate you drawing that out for me. i will be purchasing all the supplies in a couple days and going to town.

Ya, You would definitely want air cooled hoods. And make sure the 1000s are higher up than the 400. How many are you wanting to do under the 2 1000s and 1 400?

ya i have the 1000watt MH no more then 24inches above the plants.. and its on a light mover so its not constant heat above all the plants. and i have no idea yet about how many i want under what, i would need the light mover for the 1000watt HPS.. and if im going to put the 1000watt MH up then i would keep 4 or 6 mothers under it and veg the clones im not yet flowering under the 400watt MH. i need to get new reflectors for the 1000watts, might keep the one i have for the MH tho cuz it has a ducting attachment on it already, just dont like it, seems like a piece of shit lol.

the pic is from a previous setup but u can see where you would attach ducting etc.

You DEF don't want to fuck around with overloaded circuits. It's pretty simple to add a few to the electric panel. Running wire hidden in the walls is a real PAIN. If you don't mind wires tacked to the base boards, you can do it. Get a home improvement book at the library. They have ones specific to wiring. Breakers are like $3 and #8 wire is about a dollar a foot. Build an outdoor type plug box for about $10. Nothing to it, well, as long as you turn off the main breaker first!

i think i have a problem on my hands.. i had transplanted my Sour Diesel and SH-Early into recycle bins a couple days ago, and they have dried out like they normally would from when they were in the smaller pots (8inch pots i think) which is every 3 days.. they are droopy like they need water.. i fed them when i transplanted them so all the soil around the part that was transplanted is still all wet (plants in recycle bins that are fed 1 litre dry out in 5 days usually), so do you think the plant just dried up in the middle like it thinks its in the old pot? should i water 500ml in just the middle? (i used to water or feed 500ml to the 8inch potted plants) i dont know what to do, they are droopy, fuck lol
