by traded, please tell me you traded sexual favors.......at least that's what I'm fantasizing right nowAll great advice. Talk to your electrician about adding a sub box for your grow. I traded with my electrician for his services
Still waiting on them, it's a small job so hopefully I can feel him out and see what I can work out of him. I have a jar or 2 I could toss his way. First thing I thought this morning too, wonder if I can get hooked up from this?All great advice. Talk to your electrician about adding a sub box for your grow.

The garage and bathroom don't share a breaker. Every room on the west side of the house along the back of the house share a breaker, being the back family room, kitchen, bathroom, and my room. These rooms are all on a 20 amp breaker. the bathroom actually doesn't even have a GFI. I only have GFI because I put one in in my room and that is the only GFI in the whole house even. The garage is on its own circuit for 110v, and the garage is were a separate panel is for the 220 for the laundry which is on the back patio. The electrician installed another panel in the garage just below the panel for the laundry. I re routed that wiring from the second panel into my room. Even the hot tub that never worked right didn't have any GFI. Or rather it did but it was funky wiring. The thing never heated up, we bought it used and got scammed.
Yeah, that should be the same as what others were saying when they said a hair dryer pulls a lot of power. You might not have high enough amps on the breaker.
I like that idea of him adding another breaker just for his grow room. I would have liked to have done this too but our panel is so old here I couldn't do it. Our breakers are real old and hard to find, and there wasn't any open slots anyway. If I wanted to run another breaker I think I would have to replace the panel. Or add another panel piggy back. haha, when I first got my indoor grow going and re routed that wiring from the garage. Nothing electrical worked properly anywhere on the property. Anything that did work would pulse, or things like the microwave would seem to be running at half power. I called the electric company and they came out. The guy said the main wire was lose where it connects to the house, he repaired that and everything has been working fine. I'm not so sure I did the wiring right for the new 240v socket. There was 4 wires before for the hot tub. The new socket only had lugs for 3 wires. I hooked everything up according to the instructions on the box the new receptacle came in and then tested with a multi meter and it was working. But one wire I put a wire nut on it then electrical tape over that. In the panel I un hooked that 4th wire.
If you have two slots open you run 220 to the grow room and add a small sub panel with a few breakers in it.
Yeah I was talking to the OP. I didn't read through either. I'm confused too now. But your situation sounds even more ludacris than the OP's. 4 rooms on 1 20amp circuit, that's bananas.
I have the Square D QQ's and like them too.
. I had him replace the 15 amp with a 20 since he was already here. The 15 amp was fine no damage. What a load of horse shit. LOL oh well, time to smoke a bowl and do some yoga. So I learned how to change out a breaker and how to plan out my electrical usage better, pretty fuckin expensive lesson.
Yeah dude, should have put in a 50
Yeah Op, tell him to come back over and put in a 50. Tell him it's for a future spa that's going to be used for naughty lesbian parties. And home-birthing.
