Hey guys,
So basically finished setting up my veg tent for my seedling phase and was wondering if using these many power boxes was dangerous.

So basically, going to use 6500k CFLs (230W) for my ten seedlings and used a very cheap build to make these lights.

2x Power box
10x 23W 6500K CFLs
1 Wooden Plank
1 Modified box with Mylar

I bought another power box today (one with surge protection) that says 2100 joules and 1875W, I was wondering if this would be enough for all the things I have plugged in.

Also planning on using these CFLs for the seedling phase, while I wait for my COB LEDs to arrive. Probably will use both COBs and CFLs in that veg tent, just need to figure out how to set it up. These COBs will run @ ~200W at the Wall so would I be able to plug them into the same powerbox I linked right above this paragraph?

I was wondering how I could install a stand so I can water inside the tent and have a plastic tray underneath to gather excess water. If anyone can give me just a quick shopping list that'd be great.

Here's my album btw: http://imgur.com/a/FaDPG

Amp draw at wall will be limited to 15 amps typically in Canada so that will allow for 1500 watts so just need to do the math. Use a heavy duty cord and check to see it doesn't get hot.
