Got a grow room electrical question? Got a question about your home electrical at all? I am here to help. I am an electrician by trade and would love to help out if yall got questions. Fire away.
Wow! Hold on guys. I am no scientist. Google that shit.what is an anode
As opossed to the Sun Shine, how much Vitiaum D does 1,000 watt HPS put out? Just interested. Thanks.
what is an anode
Ac is alternating current. That is the electricity that our homes run on. DC is direct current. That is the electricity your car and electronic run on. 60 hurtz per second means the frequencey our appliances opperate at. It mean the polarity is switched 60 time a second. It has nothing to do with distance to or from a grid or transformer.how does a.c work compared to d.c. ? do all the electrons and holes go back all the way from the power station or your local transformer to your house 60 times every second?
or cathodeAn anode is an electrode through which electric charge flows into a polarized electrical device. Mnemonic: ACID (Anode Current Into Device). Electrons flow in the opposite direction to the positive electric current.
A cathode is an electrode through which (negative) electric charge flows out of a polarized electrical deviceor cathode
will a cfl that is 20 watts 1150 lumens 6500 kelvin work for growing one small plant in a regular size crateA cathode is an electrode through which (negative) electric charge flows out of a polarized electrical device
Go to the search button at the top of the page and search "cfl" and "lighting". This will give you more info you are looking for. This thread is to help people who don't know electrical.will a cfl that is 20 watts 1150 lumens 6500 kelvin work for growing one small plant in a regular size crate
If I want to run 2 6 plant dwc hydros, 1x 400w hps, 2' 6 tube T5, couple fans and possibly a small A/C unit
If i call an electrician and ask for dedicated line, what do I tell them, or do i not need one at all?
there is an outlet in the room and has working lights.
i have more description on another thread if needed:

thanks
Okay so since there is already one going in there with one outlet, ask him to run one more with two outlets, and add an outlet on the existing? i don't think i'll need many outlets, as i have a couple power strips, and i'm 99% sure i won't need an A/C unit.I would recommend that you have 2 seperate lines ran to your space. The electrician will run 1 wire, that has 2 circuits in it.
Just ask him to run the 2 circuits into 2 sets of 2 outlets. So you will have 1 circuit powering 2 outlets, and the other circuit powering the other 2 outlets.
Here is how I did mine.
If you were to use power strips that would be fine.Okay so since there is already one going in there with one outlet, ask him to run one more with two outlets, and add an outlet on the existing? i don't think i'll need many outlets, as i have a couple power strips, and i'm 99% sure i won't need an A/C unit.
do you think two outlets total would be enough, if on two different 15 amp circuits?
if i were to do this, how much do you think that should run?
