building a flower room / veg room & work/ prep space in a room.

the florwe room is about 10' x 7' and veg room is going to be 4.5' x 6'

the flower room will have 3 600 watt HPS
also will include 3 oscillating fans and an AC & a Dehumidifier if needed

veg room will include 1-2 fans as needed and 1 600 watt MH

Both rooms will be vented out with 6" inline duct fans that i am installing thru the wall.

all plants are going to be on shelving units i bought that stand anywhere from a few inches to 2 feet off the ground.

the entire room is also covered in mylar, both rooms.

is there anything it seems like i am missing here? anything else i should add to my grow areas?

i also will have a few cfls in veg space and green lights in both rooms.
 
Get a electrician in there. This isn't for the inexsperianced DIYer. The room is on a 15 amp. But most likely with the room next door. So it would be safe to say you could use 8 amps of that. And with all that you said I'm counting 32 amps needed. So have the electrician add 2 20 amp breakers. Each running 2 2 plug outlets. And use 1 plug for each light. At the same time running fans off them as well. Save the plugs you have now for the AC
 
No clue. I do that myself. So don't know labor rates. But without knowing how far the room if from the box your looking at about 100-150 just in parts. And 3-6 hours of labor.
 
problem about distance.. the breakers are in the basement.. so the room we built is an extension to the house so its not above the basement.. so idk exactly how the electrcician will run them to the breaker. would it be possible to just install breakers right in the 3rd room we built which is the work space where we prep nutes etc?
 
lol i wish u lived near me i would hire u haha. u know what ur talking about.

ok so how do i know if theres an extension so it can be done?
 
You said the room is a add on. The first electrian already did the work. They will just locate that conduit and fish the cable.
 
ok just found out i talked to the original electrician. he was a family friend.

he said that there is 1 20amp breaker already ran to that room separately.

only problem is he moved last year, so he wont be able to continue the work.

but that gives me enuf to only have to add 1 more 20amp breaker right???

4 600w bulbs. 1 5000btu AC and about 4 fans total and a humidifier and a dehumidifier total??
 
That's right. But I would still run a cord from another room for a AC. That load going on and off with lights could heat it up and pop the braker without a full load.
 
ok. yea the AC i am buying has energy saver mode aswell.. so it will be set at like 75 degress so it will shut on and off at proper times.

im also going to have the veg and flower room lights alternating.. instead of all being on at same time, ill have the flower room come on when veg shuts off.. that way they only run at 6 hours of the same time.
