I'm planning on doing a 6 plant setup this year, starting mid-June in near perfect conditions. Only catch is its an hour from where I live, but have full access anytime. Here's my plans: 12" deep 6 plant grow bed with Sunshine Mix #4, runoff on one side, medium will be in a near constant state...

Like I said, this is just theory and planning. My electrician will be doing everything, and won't let me kill myself or burn down the house!

Ok, that is definitely what I looking for! Thanks for that, only problem is now I have an even dumber question.. If I understand correctly, amps are amps, and if you draw 50amps at 240v or 50amps at 120v, your main 100amp breaker sees that as the same amount of power (obviously the power...

I hear ya, I wouldn't give out any advice that would have potential for damage either, but this is actually just the planning phase, and will actually determine whether or not I need an electrician. If I end up going the flip-flop route, I can just set that up myself; but this is much more...

Thanks for the follow up/patience guys. I'm actually a lot less confused than I am coming off. I get pretty much everything you are saying. My very specific question right now, is when I am using 30amps at 240v, assuming thats the only thing on in the house, is that using 30% of my total power...

So I have asked 2 people this question, and haven't gotten a straight answer. I have a 100-amp circuit breaker box, with the main breaker being 100-amp obviously I am using 6000 watts at 240v, but I live in the US, so the rest of my house is of course 120v. My question is: is my main breaker...

I just picked up 5 different clones and I believe one of them had powdery mildew on it before I brought it in, now my largest plant in the room is infected pretty hardcore (~10 patches), but the RH of my grow tent is never above 50%. I've had PM in the past REALLY badly, but the tent was...

I'm wondering why that is. The manual for this tent says it recommends 4000W which definitely seems like overkill. I just moved to an area where power costs are very cheap, so I want to maximize what I can out of a 240v 30-amp circuit.

I'm going to setup my grow tent in the garage very soon, its a 4' x 8' and 8' tall. Here is what I have planned: 3 19" cool tube reflectors 3 1000w lights (ballasts outside tent) 6" exhaust fan (>300CFM) hooked up to carbon filter inside the tent, venting outside Fan blowing directly...

This was my gut feeling exactly... one day move them into a dark chamber before lights go off. So starting from 11AM - sunrise the next day so nearly 20 hours of darkness, then move outside at dawn.

So I have 6 plants that I want to move outdoors in about 2 weeks, but for logistical reasons, they are indoors under a 12/12 light cycle that goes on from 11PM - 11AM... obviously if I change the cycle they will under-go some shock, but I was wondering if there are any techniques to mitigate the...

Ok cool :) Thanks for the tips

Ok, good to know, and yes, I am in the US. The main thing I am concerned about is more so the power from the street, because I have all electric appliances/heating, so does the guest house. So I guess what I'm wondering is if like the A/C, 600W light, heater, 2 stoves (1500w each), and like a...

This is kind of a general question, but I'm thinking of upgrading my current setup 250w HPS with 850w portable A/C for cooling. I checked with my friend and he said this could overload my circuits. I have a little power meter thing though and its only clocking in at 8 amps right now, on a 20 amp...
