bUT I have 2 breaker boxes one inside and one outside!
I dont trust anyone.Helps me sleep at night.If it really came down to it dude could get rid of everything for a day and have someone come over and wire up a 220 spot for an air conditioner.Just tell them its for a big window unit that has built in heat.you can put more shit on 220 cause the amps drop in half.a ballast that runs on 8 amps in 110 will run 4 amps on 220.they still pull the same wattage but you can get more shit on that circuit.Go to your local grow store.. buy an overpriced product and ask if they have a bulletin board or any recommendations. Good way to find people who are "cool"
Oh fuk dude your golden/Ill make you a video on doing it.it's actually a dbl wide lol
only issue with that is I try to stay perpetual so If I shut down to do this I'll lose all my genetics! lol its always something... trust me I know, unfortunately I think my 2 best options are drop 2k on leds, or hope I can get someone to run a dedicated 220 to the room! neither are perfect for me but I'm not seeing any other viable options
lol that would be nice!No, bro, not 2K.
Trust me, 500 will have you were you need to be...to start.
You have a HPS now.
Get 500.00 together for the other room...add the LED’s.
Now you have the two rooms (one HPS, one LED) that are producing.
No reason to stop, you’re just adding.
Before you know it you will have another 500.00 to get another build.
Why do I have a funny feeling Greenthumbs256 will have a state of the art grow room by spring? lol
Do you have a 220v electric dryer plug not being used? Some mobile homes are wired for an electric dryer and also have a gas hookup. So if you have a gas dryer/water heater/range there may be a 220 line being unused. That is a good start if you do.lol that would be nice!
You need a "Wall tester" tests the watts, amps, coming off your stuff. Plugs in wall like a timer and get you a 6 plugin strip and start plugging shit in till you get to around 80 or 90%(17 18 amps) of 20amps. Stop there and you're good.the wiring is normal I guess but I have a 12k btu ac, 2 fans, and a carbon scrubber, I don't think 4 600w hps plus all that will fit on two 20 amp breakers without blowing the breakers daily!
I actually do but it's being used, but I did think about sharing that plug!! I mean it's a flowering light so it only runs 12h a day! that leaves the other 12 hr open to swap em out and wash cloths!Do you have a 220v electric dryer plug not being used?

Thats silly man,just run the wire from the box and go underneath your place,Its stupid easy and you dont have to worry about wires running down hallways and shit.I actually do but it's being used, but I did think about sharing that plug!!

see I'm worried about running the wires under the house bc then I have to drill holes and when I leave oli don't want any signs that I was growing! my plan since the box is literally 7 ft away from the room is just run the lines across the ceiling! and when I leave simply disconnect it!Thats silly man,just run the wire from the box and go underneath your place,Its stupid easy and you dont have to worry about wires running down hallways and shit.
Just drill a hole under the carpet,pull the carpet back first,After you leave pull the wire out and fill the hole with some wood puddy man.stupid easy.you can just screw the box into the wall close to the floor.see I'm worried about running the wires under the house bc then I have to drill holes and when I leave oli don't want any signs that I was growing! my plan since the box is literally 7 ft away from the room is just run the lines across the ceiling! and when I leave simply disconnect it!
