Whew!!! Finally got my tent set up in its new home. My origional space didn't end up working out. The tent is.....overwhelmingly big once I saw it set up....alot different than having little lines for layout lol. Its new home is pretty much perfect though. I'm going to have to move some of my electronics around, I had a TV and my PC in this room and the room gets pretty hot with everything running, being that my PC setup is overkill and generates heat. Only new major development issss, I am going to have to add another circuit to the house, which isn't a big deal...being a GC has its perks. This weekend will be duct work and electrical then i will post of some pics. Thanks for all of the advice fellas~!

Rock & roll man.........can't wait. Hey I have a dedicated 20amp circuit. Do you feel that is a pretty fair amount of juice & how much are you going for? I thought I was hot shit until I realized that the windows in my garage have been fogged up for the last month which can't be good for the vehicles & tools & such. So I brought out the dehumidifier, but that's pulling 12 amps. I can move it to a different circuit I guess, just thought of that. Anyway food for thought when ducting. The second week of flower they really start pumping water into the air.
I can;t remember what size light you said you had. 12 amps for the humidity control, plus probably 5-6-7 for your light and another 1-2 for fans, thats pushing it, but remember too that that just the initial amperage, when they are running the amount of amps being pulled drops alot, almost in half if I'm thinking correctly. I'm going for just 1 dedicate 20 amp circuit, but mine I won't have the worry about humidity. you could try switching it to 240, that would help you out alot I think.

12 amps just for humidty? holy shit thats crazy....... my 5,000 btu A/c only uses like 3 amps how the hell is a humidifyer using 12? thats crazy......as far is amps dropping when lights are running i dont know about that one i hooked up a amp meter to my wiring and tested every piece of eqiupment i have one at a time and everything was stable never changing in amperage really.....when i turned it on it went to what ever amperage is was at and then stayed there so for me nothing went down from running it kinda confused about what you mean....
also remeber is best to run at 80% of your total amps allowed......
