what do I need to know about wiring?

[dylan843]

Seriously? You are STILL posting your thieving, underhanded intentions on this open public forum's? Your crooked mindset is only surpassed by your stupidity. Do the world a favor and go back to the woods you originally found, dig a hole, hop in and cover yourself with dirt. Maybe something GOOD will sprout out of that mess... STOP TRYING TO STEAL ELECTRICITY!!!!

Actually I'm looking into a generator I could use for the power. That would make this so much eaiser. You'll be proud of me john I've seen the light no more power stealing for me! *all black church choir starts singing*

Is there any way I could make a tank on a generator a lot larger?

I saw your generator post. You said money was no problem. If you have money why on earth would you even consider stealing the electricity. Are you that greedy? Anyway, I am glad you are looking at better options for your grow. I think a generator is a great idea and way more stealthy than running a very long cable and taking the chance of being caught burying it or from the power usage being noticed.

You are begging to get tossed in jail. generators are loud.
To answer your question, yes it is easy to rig up a larger tank.

If you are referring to the fuel tank, depending on what it uses for fuel, you can buy an external tank and bury it as well. The trouble is filling it up when it runs low.

Very true they are loud. You would have to find a way to muffle it big time.

Ok thought this thread was dead at page 5 but here's a update for anyone who cares

First of all new spot, its up on a hill to help with the water and its withen 100 feet.

I figured out all the wiring. 15 amp breaker with 110v. Its ~1700 max watts and they are only using 560 of them.

I know there's a chance of them catching on to the power change, but this is a big big golf course. Its acutally 6 different courses all on the same land. Ithas hugeee spotlights that run all night, bars, etc all on there power. There are also 6 of these bathrooms over the whole course. And so much other stuff they are cobstantly powering. Would they really be paying attention to the 15w breaker on the bathroom that they never really even maintain? I could see if I surged it but I have it correctly wired and the breaker is still In the correct range I doubt they would have the time or care to investigate it.

Plus before actual set up I'm going to plug something up similar power to what ill be using and see if they notice.

I'm going to run a 15 amp romex 14/2 wire undergroubd to be hooked to a single 110v outlet. That will be connected to gfci (or whatever the acronym is )plug in that I found at lowes. From there a multi plug extension that all my power will go into. I've done all the eleftricty math and it all works together.

First there will be a solid wood 14x12x8 room built in place. I will seal it fully with only holes for the ducting which will be buryed to the center of very very thick brush where they will meet the air. and put up these water resistant sheet type things on the outside and drywall on the inside. Then bring my 10x10x7 grow room and all supplys in and put on a roof with a trapdoor on it. Then it will all be covered back with dirt all will have to dig to reach the door each time

Good for you man! I would get a fake rock or log or something to cover the door, If you keep digging it up it's going to stick out.

Well I was saying that to see my options if it sounded worth it I would save up. My only problem with the generator is habing to buy fuel a lot over time I'm no means rich I have a 7.25 a hour job.

Anyway I know stealing is wrong, but in the case of how vast the power the golf course produced the small amount I would be taken would not effect them hardly any.

I think I could find a way to muffle it. If I could place it inside of a soundproofish box and place inside the grow rooms outside room I don't therell be much sound. Plus in the middle of unentered woods.,

It all sounds very tough and risky. Is there no way you can move into a place to set up a grow room? Things would become a LOT easier.

ok guy

messing with a rig is a horrible idea ............gas inclosed poor venting to make it undetecable BOOM

those are 56 dbs (that is the sound of a car engine ) ....................solar pannels and a rig of batteries is the best way to hide it ..................if u got a stream then water wheel and a gear box on a gen

i got it.. maybe he could rig something up like you're talking about, hydro power, and simply hook it up to the drinking fountain inside of the club house.. i'm sure all those golfers work up quite the thurst after 18 holes, no???

Oh and there's a assload of wasps nests in the attic so that will also deter them from thnking that someone went up there/wanting to go up there. I'm wearing a beekeeper suit wyen I go up there.

Also 1000w hps was a crazy idea. I'm going with 4 150-200w cfls instead

Good job Opiy, I like the CFL idea, make sure you clean the grow room really well, It will help the plants grow with less problems.

Hey, I think you would be better the your other Idea, if your not there a lot, too many things could go wrong more easily...

Actually I'm finding out there only good for vegging. I think what I'm going to do is make the room half the size and use 1 600w..or400w hps/mh. Probably do like 12 plants In 5gal bubble buckets.
