I'm not dropastone, but I run my whole setup from a single outlet. 6" inline fan, 1000w ballast, 400gal/hr water pump, up to 3 small fans, 1 computer type fan, and my pH meter when it's working. It has worked so far. Well, until I overloaded the circuit by running the washer and dryer and a profesional grade chop saw. Oops.

Thanks whodat. My house electical is a bit of a mess. 1 room was built in 1918, another in 1935, one more in 1982, another in 1992 and another in 1997. The first two builders gave a shit about what they were doing. The last 3 couldn't care less. Can't even explain how bad things were before I fixed most of it. The only thing I didn't fix was the circuit going to the back (ie, my bedroom, closet, and back bathroom. It's all 110. The people who wired it did a horribly cheap and not near code job. When I moved in there was an outside junction box with no cover, and just twist tie things on the wires. The wire feeding the circuit is too small for the breaker it's hooked up to. I shouldn't be admitting all this, as you will now think I don't give a shit about my house/ family/ cats/ life. I actually know how dangerous the thing is, but really don't want to spend the time and money to fix it right. Fuck. I really need to do that.

For right now I'm safe as I fried the feed wires somewhere, and the breaker is switched off, so no power going to the danger zone anymore. Now the closet is being run off one of the good circuits. And when we want to wash clothes we have to shut down the closet, run an extension cord to the washer and do that. We've been drying them on lines, lol. No light in the main bathroom. We are kinda used to it now. So many things to spend money on when you have an old house.

Thanks for slapping my wrist. I know it's no joke... I guess I'm just stupid/ careless/ completely in denial. Don't be like me kids. I could have literally burned down my house. No joke.

Speaking of Don't be like me... do not try this at home. And I'm not using a telescopic lens... me and pepe are about 3 feet from eachother. Gotta love these guys... they are my cover. (hmmm, do you smell that... yeah, must have been another skunk)

that's awesome. I had a skunk get my dog the other day. It smelled like old onions, and like burnt rubber or something. Gave me a headache pretty quick.

You know what's really not good. I have a crawlspace under half the house... it's riddled with entrances for all the local wildlife. They normally don't do under there... but sometimes when God is feeling like punishing us... a couple skunks get in there and have a little fight. Spray the crawlspace real good. As you can imagine 95 year old log cabins in the mountains don't exactly seal the air outside... so the whole house smells like a skunk for a few days. Not very much fun I tell you. Wow, it's tell you guys all the problems with my house day, lol. Our oven door doesn't say closed anymore either, so we have a gas heater in front of it to keep it closed. How white trash can you be? Need to fix the giant growing pothole in the driveway as well. If I think of more I'll keep you all posted, hahaha.

More fun. Sitting waiting for yogi to show up and the local robbers showed up with their getaway masks on. (that was supposed to be funny) Poor mama has a bad hind leg. Also... I do not make it a habit of feeding the racoons and skunks. The food is for cats and I usually remove it before sundown... but I'm on a mission tonight.

You need to attached a fat joint to the club logo and snap some pics when a critter fishlips it ;-)

*edit:
Hey, jig, most ovens have adjusters to increase resistance for the oven doors to keep them closed tight as they age.
Usually need to pull out the drawer at the bottom and it's usually integrated in the hinges on each side.

I got 3 outlets in the flower room and two in the veg. In the flower room one outlet I ran high on the wall that's on it's own own breaker. I ran it up high on the wall because there is a ledge that I'm a gonna put my ballasts on. Then I have one down low near the door and a light socket I can utilize as an outlet if need be.

You can see em here.

Does it matter if your light is in an open room? Like does that effect the light dispersion very much, or will it cover a certain square footage regardless? I always thought you had to have your grow area inclosed to not let the light out...?

Hey jig loving the skunk and coons. When I was a kid we were camping in Minnesota and this skunk got caught in a fishing net. Man that skunk was going crazy and spraying his stink everywhere and the smell was quite nauseating. The owner of the campground had to come out in the dead of night with a 20 foot pole and try free the skunk from this net. After about a half an hour he got em free. I'll never forget that for as long as I live. It was quite an exciting night for a 12 year old.

If that question is for me then the answer would yes you should have it in an enclosed room to trap the light. I've heard of people opening their doors at certain times of the day because of heat issues. But in my case I haven't built the doors yet.;-)

Your hood mainly determines what your footprint is gonna be but having reflective walls closer would most definitely increase the amount of light getting to your plants... Though open areas can be easier to cool and work in... I cant help but try and take up every square inch of grow space with plant material.
