shouldnt matter

how many watts is your light?? does anything else go off besides the 2 tv's?? if you are running a 1000 watt light you should have a circuit dedicated to that light, meaning there are no other large loads on that circuit besides your light 400 watts in fans or pumps would be the max id...

this link should help you a lot http://www.do-it-yourself-help.com/wiring_receptacles.html for a 240 volt outlet you only need the 2 lives, and a ground you ran a black from each side of the double pole breaker (that makes up the 240 volts) those blacks get connected to the 2 sides of the...

i searched the bulbs name and type and the spec sheet said 4200K, what is the optimal spectrum for veg? the bulb thats in there at the moment is at the end of its life so id need to get a new one and from what i can see the company offers the bulbs from 3800K - 4600K, what should i get? my...

the difference between a single pole and double pole breaker is a single pole is 120 volts and the double pole is 240 volts (so a double pole 20 amp breaker is still 20 amps but at 240 volts)

well i use the t5 to start seedlings and veg them for 30-45 days before they are getting too big for my fixture, i was using 26 watt cfls in the past as suplimental lighting but i was wondering if i should buy 2 bulb 2 foot t5 fixtures for the sides or use the 50 watt MH fixtures what do you...

nobody?? c'mon guys

yes, you have a main breaker the feeds power into all the other breakers, each circuit doesnt nesacerilly end up feeding only one room, they split apart all over thats why when your figuring out your load calculations you usually trip the breaker that the plug you are using is on and check to...

so my t5 fixture has four 2foot bulbs, each outputs 2000 lumens so the fixture gives out 8000 lumens of 6500K light at 96 watts, the MH fixtures at 50 watts each put out 3400 lumens and its 4200K light so 100 watts gives me 6800 lumens it looks like the t5 wins by the amount of lumens per watt...

yes, but remember, you are now using at least 1000 watts of power, to keep it safe you can only have about another 400 wats of power being used from the same circuit, that includes room lights, tv's anything else thats plugged into the same circuit

150 amps at 240 volt is your main breaker (typically at the top left of most breaker panels) the breaker that runs the circuit that your stuff is on should be either 15 or 20 amps at 120 volts

looks like it was a bit over nuted at the beginning but the new growth looks healthy, hold back on the nutes for a bit

75 days veg, 64 days flowering so far, about another week or so till i chop off the top 1/3, then another 2 weeks for the bottom to fatten up

a took a couple of pics of some nice trics growing densely the plant on the right has stopped all upward growth and the buds are fattening up but the one on the left is still very slowly creeping up, about 1/2 inch a week the past 2 weeks ill probably cut the tops off in a week or so and let...

i put some h2o2 in the rez and checked the air stones, took a snap of the roots looking nice and healthy and white

sux about the ppp but the ak is ganna be bomb!!!

for a single pole breaker its 120 volts multiplied by the number of amps its rated for, that gives you watts so a 120 volt breaker at 15 amps handles 1800 watts, HOWEVER 80% is the recommended load which is 1440 watts and some breakers trip after this amount

for your setup you should have a 240 volt 30 amp panel for your grow, that panel should be on a 30 amp double pole breaker on your pool panel [replace the current panel for a 50 or 60 amp sub panel so it can handle your grow and pool pump] and run 50 or 60 amp wire from your main panel inside to...

so you have a 240 volt 30 amp service going to your pool and a 120 volt 20 amp curently to your back building, if you where to extend the 30 amp service from the pool panel to the back building you would be able to install a new 240 volt sub panel on a 30 amp double pole breaker from the pool...

very clean setup, looks great, ill be checking your journal
