So in theory what I have to do is have a 220v outlet installed which will be compatible now with my ballast plug and also down the road with my power strip plug (which has a female for my ballast plugs). Not too hard I suppose. I wish the 220's were more standardized like the 110's.

I just sketched out one using fire rated drywall, 2x4's, panda film, and plywood (for the floor, covered in panda and/or vinyl). Then I was like "maybe I should add the veg/mom chamber to the structure...lol. I'll have to check that out.

I was thinking about doing something similar. Would be interested to see the construction.

Thanks for the responses guys, I really do appreciate it. After spending most of my day yesterday evaluating my options (lol) I've decided that the bedroom set up, upstairs is not very feasible. It gets to be 75-85 in there over the summer without an additional heat source. Plus I'd probably...

Saw this in Hightimes (in an ad): http://www.gurugrowlights.com/zacks_test.php Not too descriptive. Anyone ever try out one of the Guru lights? Web site is shoddy.

Holy shit man, bravo.

Instead of messing with that, I wonder if it would be better to just have an 220v outlet professionally installed. The room is directly above the panel (which is in the garage below). If you put it in the outside wall it's literally about 6 feet from the panel vertically. I have an 'empty' 20...

Yes, it's a 1000w heater on a 220v/20amp circuit (double pole breaker).

Shiit, it got to about 75 degrees today in the room that I want to set everything up in. The high today was only about 60. Wtf? I live in a split level house. Is it time to start looking for a different location..? Seems likely. Edit - Or... I could just run the 12 hr flowering hps at...

Might as well drop this in here as well (I also made a thread about it). I live in the U.S. and I'm looking to convert the wall heater in my bedroom into a 220v outlet to hook up light(s) to. How complex of a job is that and could I safely do it myself? If I were to hire an electrician, what...

Thanks for the info. I probably won't do it myself unless it was pretty straightforward. I'm thinking of keeping the 220v as it should be easier to convert (and convert back). Plus that way the other heater could still run on the circuit if need be. I need to look and see if I have a 3 or 4...

Edit: No longer need help with original topic, please see post 14 on page 2 for input. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, Mr Ganja. I was hoping that leaving the interior door open to the rest of the house (and maybe opening some windows/sliders in the rear) would provide enough ventilation. Ideally I would like the room to be self contained, but I don't want to leave the window open 24/7 if...

I might as well toss this in here as well. I have a 220v electric wall heater in the room I plan on growing in. This is on a 20 amp circuit. I have to check but I believe one other heater is on the circuit. Could I pull that heater out and either hook up a 220v outlet directly or convert it...

Hey smokey, thanks for the response. That's the info I was looking for on how hot the 600w hps would heat up the room. Damn, looks like it would be pushing the limit during the summer daytime hours. A portable A/C unit may be necessary (I saw these have charcoal filters in them as well, win)...

I'll try to be as brief and concise as possible so I don't waste your time, growing gurus. I've searched all over the forums for answers to my questions and I know a lot of it/most of it is dependent on your unique situation but please bear with me. My situation: I'm planning on doing a first...
