I've broken the twenty four hour day into four six hour quadrants. Each quadrant has a different mix of lighting on, and thus I'm able to spread the loads;In the day i dont use much at all. i run my big shit at night when we sleep so nothing is on except the grow rooms.
The 860W CDM lamps work well, love the spectrum- BUT. The HPS room looks better right now. I'm not letting one run sway me one way or the other, but the HPS room looks pretty strong by comparison at this stage of the cycle.How're the CMHs treating ya buddy?
I'm closer and closer everyday to making what we discussed be a reality.

I stager my light and dark periods but i run new circuits when i build my grow at a new house. I dont like running my breakers at there max.I've broken the twenty four hour day into four six hour quadrants. Each quadrant has a different mix of lighting on, and thus I'm able to spread the loads;
Midnight to six am; 50 amps, plus 35 for pumps, fans and HVAC
Six am to noon; 50 amps, plus the 35
Noon to six; 60 amps, plus
Six to midnight; 60 amps, plus the usual.
I highly recommend anyone running around the clock operations make themselves a power management schedule, so they know what's on and how close they are to tripping their breakers.
It's been well documented here that my HVAC system is comprised of water chilling gear. Therefore, the same system provides cooling and dehuey in every space, independent of where it is or when it's on.
your feeding. Thanks !Hey long time no see! I'm still plugging away, doing my thing. What regimen are you referring to?
I didn't, either- they pop too much, lolI stager my light and dark periods but i run new circuits when i build my grow at a new house. I dont like running my breakers at there max.
I run dry nutes, a veg blend and a bloom blend that isn't much different.your feeding. Thanks !
I don't need double my draw in headroom, just fifty percent over continuous loads is way plenty according to the manuals and any of the three electricians involved.I would if running what you are do a 200 amp with 30 amp fuses with the better wiring also. costs 2x more but that way you dont stress anything.
That's not even the half of it; all the shit that I've bought, used and discarded adds up even more!wow its expensive out there. Here $2k gets you duel 150 boxes once can be 30 amp fuses for grow and 1 for house with 20's. but im in the midwest so they dont charge as much. I hear you load and clear. your grow has cost you allot to setup.
Even simpler than that;So you were suggesting a car radiator hooked up to a water pump with a fan blowing in, hooked up to a thermostat, right?
