Popping the breaker..I'd assume..gotta plug one in on another circuit.

You need to identify the circuits you are using.
Like @Corso312 said, your tripping the breaker.
Obviously you have reset the breaker so you are familiar with the breaker box.
The other breakers in the box that didn't trip are different circuits. You need to see where they are and hook into them.

Personally that's the first thing I do before setup. I identify circuits and circuit size

Just a word of caution. If you have the glass fuses instead of breakers, DO NOT REPLACE WITH BIGGER FUSE.

Yea i turned the breaker back on n i figured i had to plug one light into another socket .. thing is i only have one in my garage .. idk how but i do

Well that's probably common. I can't imagine having more than one circuit for a garage unless there was some machinery set up.

It's not about the socket or more appropriately the receptacle.

You can have many receptacles on one circuit and you are limited to the amps on that circuit.

Do you own the home?

I cant upgrade my breaker, so I ran an extension cord from the plug kitchen that has nothing running on it, into my room to run my lights and fans.
just silicone it along my baseboard and painted it. no one has noticed it ever.

The receptacle immediately below the main panel is often on it's own circuit, but not always.

I'd be careful with this because your kitchen circuit is rated for 20 amps and most extension cords are only rated for 15.

Assuming he has a 20 amp circuit in the kitchen, it would be important to be under the rated amps of that cord.
It's up to you to keep the amps down because you don't have a breaker to do it.

Simply use Yelp to find a few recommended (no rip off) electricians in your area. Call them up or send them an online quote request asking for an additional 15 amp (1800 watts) or 20 amp circuit sent to your garage. Your setup, including fans and anything else you may have plugged into your garage circuit (may extend into an adjacent area), is pushing the limits for most standard circuits and is therefore obviously tripping the breaker. Have an electrician run an additional circuit or do some research and do it yourself (and then have an electrician come look at your work before you burn your house down). You are equally as qualified to do anything anyone else can do in this life given that you educate yourself adequately.
