thats exactly what i said. he can run the three 500 watt or so items on the 20 amp 120 safely without starting a fire.

you can have the controller plugged in 24/7 instead of hooked up to a timer you can have constant 240 at 30 amps without it powering down. instead of being set to power on 12 hours a day you can plug it straight into the wall to run the heavy stuff like ac/ dehum/ fans blah blah blah if it was...

oh now that i think about it you could [probably run a 20 amp 120 outlet to the room and be able to run everything off of it. the ac, dehum and veg lights. sorry was high and it just crossed my mind. plenty of options dude you just gotta look at options and do your homework before deciding to go...

holy crap you hooked 5000 watts up in the same room on the wall outlets? lol. they miust have all been wired with their own 15 amp breakers. i cant even plug two lights in in the same room without blowing the breakers. lmao. you got lucky my friend.

look on google for 30 amp 240 volt wiring diagrams and stuff. the image section is pretty decent with a few pics to give you an idea of how to wire them up safely. gives you a better picture than just choosing wire colors. lol. also make sure to ask you electrician to label the cables for you...

Mmmm. dehum and ac and veg lights is another story. maybe the ac and lights but not the dehum on top of it all. 2 out of the 3 things will keep you under load but once you run the 3rd it will pop the breaker. have you ever considered running another 120 volt 15 amp outlet to the space with a 2...

if you have no electrical experience at all id recommend having an electrician install the breakers and run the wiring. once the wiring is in place connecting everything is simple. just make sure you flip the breaker to off before fucking with stuff. lol.

also if you r wiring 2 30 amp outlets all you need is 8-10 gauge wiring for each. 8 max is needed. i personally ran 10 gauge for 30 amps of lighting controller. anything else is overkill unless you intend on making it a true 50 amp 240 breaker someday.

if you r running two separate 30 amps 220-240 volt breakers its a total of 6 screws for 2 separate controllers. its super easy to wire it up once you have it sitting in front of you. its 3 wires total for each. the 2 hots and the common. remember. 2 Hots and 1 common. so dont mistake that shit...

once you hook the lighting controller up you pretty much get rid of all the step down stuff on that circuit. also im not sure on the costs since ive never actually looked into it. but could be worth a try if its cheap enough. altho you can run say 50 amp wiring and bridge it off at 30 amps of...

again ridiculousness. lol. my older power supply was actually pulling 400 watts. lmao. i only know this becuz of the load the breaker had tripped at. point being a desktop computer is capable of pulling a a lot more wattage than you think.

i need a little more info to get a better picture. total wattage amount of ballasts to figure out the right amp breakers and what wattage your ballasts wattages actually are. 400 600 1000 and if you are planning a veg area.

how many lights are you running? if you are running 3 400s then run them off of one wall outlet with a timer. its still pulling less than recommended on the outlet and you dont have to spend money on costly items like lighting controllers and all that jazz. and run the fans off another outlet...

at 220 volts your amperage will be roughly 32.5 amps. at 120 or 110 its going to be double that. may i make a suggestion? get a light controller for a couple hundred bucks off of ebay and run 6 gauge cable from a 240 volt breaker. it you grab an 8 light controller you can run all 8 lights on it...

its actually dead sad to say. i had to tear her down. :( she gave me p's of weed in her life time tho. i moved and am now building a new grow. a 10x10 tent for flower and a 4x8 for veg. :) all 1000s. a memorial pic of her with her last grow.

also was this what you were looking at? http://www.lowes.com/pd_102355-337-HPKT-400-CWA-MT_0__?productId=3136047&Ntt=ballast&pl=1&currentURL=%3FNtt%3Dballast&facetInfo= the ballasts for flouros is about 30 bucks or so.

if you spend 30 bucks on an hid system its junk. but a hundred bucks or so should get you a ballast and older air cooled hood and bulb. but it gets you on your way to better buds and yields. i repeat dont spend 30 bucks on an hid system. also avoid wire it yourself ballasts. most people fuck the...

yeah the power company would have to come out if you installed a 200 amp breaker. they have to do some shit in the box to give you that much accessible juice. as to what tit is that they do. im not sure since ive never had to do it before. but had a buddy that did and he said it was a hassle...

nothing to worry about. just make sure that you are aware how many outlets are on that one 15 amp breaker. some of the older places wired 2-3 bedrooms up on one 15 amp sometimes which could be an issue. but i doubt it. just make sure that you dont run a bunch of electronics in the same room...
